Districts View
No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 860 m² — that is not official geometry. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $646/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.
Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.
Verdict
Districts view
Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.
Detail
The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”
Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.
The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.
Evidence
Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

This private sanctuary seamlessly blends a bygone era of grace and character with the needs of modern family living. Surrounded by perfectly landscaped gardens and a 270-degree wrap-around verandah, the residence takes full advantage of its connection to light and nature, cocooning you from the outside world.
The moment you step through the leadlight front door, the residence's rich heritage is immediately felt. Warm jarrah floorboards and chandeliers set the tone, while brass picture lights line the central hallway, leading you toward the heart of the home. A soaring archway and intricate ceiling details frame the entryway into the formal dining room, where beautiful leadlight windows flood the space with natural light and a tuckpointed brick fireplace serves as a beautiful nod to the home's history.
As you move through the residence, its scale becomes apparent. Taking centre stage at the rear of the home, the expansive living area offers a spacious and elegant room to entertain and unwind. With its elevated vantage point across the rear of the property, the view takes in the glorious landscaped gardens and deciduous trees. Timber-framed double doors provide seamless access to the wrap-around verandah, offering outdoor dining and lounging opportunities, which further extend the already impressive living area.
The centrally located, classically styled kitchen features a Gaggenau oven, steam oven with warming drawer, as well as a Miele induction cooktop. Ample storage and generous benchtop space ensure that no culinary creation is off-limits. Two fridge recesses allow for more than enough cold storage.
On the upper level, three generously sized bedrooms provide wonderful spaces to rest, whilst a fourth bedroom on the lower level offers a perfect guest room or bedroom for a mature child. The residence is serviced by two classically styled bathrooms offering claw-foot bathtubs and separate showers.
A truly rare offering is the extensive undercroft space, which provides an ideal solution for multigenerational living or the need for separate living zones. With direct access to the outdoor garden, this space equally provides the perfect rumpus area for the family's hobbies and activities.
One of 48 Farnley's defining qualities is its effortless indoor – outdoor connection. A sweeping wrap-around verandah frames views across the shimmering mosaic-tiled pool with its blade waterfall. Limestone walls and manicured gardens lend a timeless sense of order, while established hedges provide year-round structure. Thoughtfully composed, the grounds draw the eye toward centuries-old plane trees in the parkland beyond, forging a rare and enduring dialogue between home, history, and nature. A long brick driveway, extending the length of the residence, leads to a secure double garage.
Located in one of Mount Lawley's most sought-after addresses, 48 Farnley is perfectly placed to take advantage of everything the suburb has to offer. Just a short stroll from the vibrant Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley train station, and the prestigious Perth College, this residence combines the appeal of a heritage-rich neighbourhood with the convenience of urban living. With its harmonious blend of historic grandeur and modern comfort, this is more than just a home; it's a statement of living.
