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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $925,000 (5 Dec 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 632 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Bayswater (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,510/m² of land (n=120). 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 632 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 $696/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

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 632 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.

Elevate your life (literally)

Live high with this classic charmer awaiting her comeback.

Secreted up top, like it owns the elevation, this timber-framed character cottage is the kind of property that has possibility whispering from every sweet corner, every creak and beam. Sitting proudly on a nice-sized 632sqm block with rear access, it's your chance to own a piece of Bayswater's soul and stamp it with your own style. If your idea of the perfect home isn't a turnkey townhouse, and you have a love for the classics and a little vision, this is a match made in heaven. The current home has charm in spades. The front sunroom catches the light just right, the main bedroom has the kind of ceiling you'll risk a neck crick to longingly admire, and the generously long second bedroom off the sunroom flows naturally into the dining room in a way you'll wonder why all layouts aren't this delicious. Original linoleum floors, stove recess, and the quirky shower-over-bath bathroom? They're all gifts waiting for a fresh imagination to bring them up to date. You may want to leave the spacious living room just as it is with its delightful French doors, you'll certainly want to maintain the art deco windows, and can you imagine those wide floorboards with a sand and polish? If your internal flipper is salivating right now, well, we don't blame you one bit. Or, demolish* and build something speccy that makes the most of the site? Whichever you choose, make it you!

Location-wise, this is one of the most coveted spots to bring a beauty like this back to life. Parks, playgrounds, and sports hubs are practically at your doorstep: Essex Street Reserve (260m), Toowong Reserve Basketball Court (450m), Mills Avenue Park Playground (550m), Halliday Park (800m), and Frank Drago Reserve & Bayswater Sports Clubs (950m) give you endless options for outdoor fun. Getting out and about is a breeze with Meltham Station (600m walk) and Bayswater Train Station (900m walk) making commuting or getting the kids to school easy, while Grand Promenade (600m) and Beaufort Street (1km) keep your coffee, brunch, and dinner plans covered. Local favourites include JUNI Cafe (1.3km), Bayswater Hotel (1.1km), King Somm Bar (1.1km), 3.8 Baysie Hotel (1.3km), Coles Inglewood (1.7km), Cecchi's (1.7km), and Finlay & Sons (2.2km), while Perth City (6.2km) is close enough to escape for work, a bit of shopping, or some solid nightlife. Families will be thrilled with the catchment schools close by, including Hillcrest Primary and John Forrest Secondary College, along with nearby options like Chisholm Catholic College and St Columba's School.
