What should you know about this lot before spending serious money?

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,610,000 (6 Mar 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 149 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Fremantle (last 5 years) with land size: median $4,055/m² of land (n=35). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

What could make it worth less?

No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.

What should you verify next?

  1. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No hazard layer has been retrieved — confirm flood, bushfire and heritage exposure from council mapping before an offer.

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.

Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.

Capital growth

WA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 149 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.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $765/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.

What competition will it face?

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.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

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

What this means for this property

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

What is known for this property

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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 149 m² — that is not official geometry.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    Development applications have not been queried for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Historic Stone Cottage: Airy, Graceful & Charming

SOLD BY CONNIE HANDCOCK, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS

This is a home so quintessentially Freo: history and heritage lovingly preserved, with all the ease and walkability of a cool inner-city setting. Hidden down a quiet, one-way street filled with character and leafy serenity, you'd never know the buzz of Freo was just footsteps away. Stroll down the street to Wray Avenue's vibrant strip for morning coffee, fresh bakery delights, and local fruit, veg, and deli essentials, or indulge in a little boutique shopping. The Fremantle Markets, Esplanade Park, Fishing Boat Harbour, Bathers Beach, and every city attraction are all on your doorstep – and you don't even need your car.

Stone, brick, and iron form the classic façade, behind a frangipani verge garden. The north-facing veranda is the perfect perch to sit and watch the world go by, while inside carries the airy grace of c.1890s yesteryear: sweeping archways, high ceilings, wide-planked jarrah floors, Victorian skirting boards, open fireplaces, and a long, skylit hallway with a drop-down attic.

Read the full description

The master suite is magnificent: spacious, bright, and beautiful. French doors and white plantation shutters lend a touch of European elegance as they open onto the veranda, while extensive built-in storage frames the open fireplace. A second bedroom in calming sage – currently used as a formal dining area – continues the excellent built-in storage, complemented by a timber nook and sliding barn door to section off the living space. Zoned heating and cooling flows throughout the entire home for year-round comfort.

The living unfolds to airy allure and natural light, with another charming open fireplace and built-in timber cabinetry, while beyond, the kitchen is just gorgeous. Natural textures of exposed limestone, brick, and timber create a cosy, rustic atmosphere with a ceramic butler's sink and modern European appliances: Miele dishwasher and 900mm ILVE oven with gas burners, nestled in the old brick alcove.

Travertine, tumbled stone and timber define the laundry and bathroom, complete with clawfoot bath, walk-in shower, and separate toilet, as natural light filters through twin skylights above. Out the back is a vision of serene green: vine-covered walls, climbing star jasmine, manicured shrubs, and a trickling water feature – sheltered and secluded upon timber decking. Gated access leads to the side laneway for easy strolls to the beach and back.

Effortless walkability, vibrant city life, and a timeless place of sanctuary – this is what Freo living is all about.
