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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,225,000 (5 Sept 2024).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 258 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in East Fremantle (last 5 years) with land size: median $3,668/m² of land (n=79). 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 258 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 $862/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 258 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.

MERMAID COTTAGE

This timeless treasure of a century-old East Fremantle character home is where classic charm meets modern elegance and has been meticulously reborn with a blend of history and innovation.

Completely rebuilt just six years ago to the highest standards, it seamlessly integrates its original features with an impressive series of contemporary comforts, offering a rare fusion of both nostalgia and luxury.

Every corner of this beautifully restored gem tells a story, celebrating over 100 years of heritage, while embracing today's finest amenities.

Read the full description

Beyond an attractive white picket fence and a matching gate that secures a lovely front-yard-lawn area, the entry verandah doubles as a delightful spot to sit back, relax and take in a magical evening sunset - with your favourite drink in hand.

Double-glazed leadlight windows allow extra natural light to filter in and penetrate the interior, where soaring high ceilings, solid original wooden Jarrah floorboards, decorative ceiling cornices and ceiling roses, picture rails and feature high skirting boards help preserve the hallmarks of yesteryear.

Welcoming you inside is a cosy front lounge room, complete with a gas bayonet for winter heating and built-in storage cupboards.

The north-facing master bedroom is huge in size and boasts a ceiling fan, as well as separate "his and hers" built-in wardrobes. An amazing light-filled bathroom has been cleverly revamped to include a walk-in shower, a marble vanity and a heated towel rack.

Keeping meals and conversation separate is the central open-plan dining and kitchen area that has a dishwasher and everything else the resident chef requires in order to cook up a storm.

The second bedroom is also large and has two separate entry points, as well as benefiting from pleasant tree-lined views in the distance. The stylish adjacent laundry opens out to the backyard whilst flowing into the second bathroom - comprising of an original cast-iron bathtub and connecting to a versatile utility room (or study) that can currently access the yard and could one day be converted into a possible third bedroom, if required.

The backyard is nice and spacious and is made up of an entertaining courtyard with a shade sail (and double-gate access from the side of the block), some more lawn, a drying courtyard, a sandpit for the kids and another courtyard that encourages sitting and quiet contemplation. It also captures plenty of natural sunlight every single morning and plays host to a separate outdoor second toilet.

The generous size of the yard means there is potential to extend in the future, with the standalone house having previously been granted council approval to do so. The property is fully insulated with sound-check and has cedar weatherboards to its exterior that are so very easy on the eye.

There is also an approval in place for a second storey to be added that would command views to the water and across East Fremantle. The home is currently council-approved to be utilised as an Airbnb/short-stay accommodation option, with recent long-term tenants also happily paying $900 per week in rent, destined to interest those seeking a lucrative investment.

Location-wise, a prominent position will have you living only walking distance away from the vibrant George Street food, shopping and entertainment precinct, with the home perched within the catchment zones for both East Fremantle Primary School and John Curtin College of the Arts.

A close proximity to the Fremantle Arts Centre, our glistening Swan River, other shops, restaurants, public transport, the heart of Fremantle and more is simply an added bonus.

Experience the best of both worlds in this gorgeous lock-up-and-leave residence, where past and present come together in perfect harmony!

ADDITIONAL FEATURES:

• Freshly painted - with new plumbing and electrical installed six years ago also

• Split-system air-conditioning to the lounge room and separate kitchen/dining area

• Instantaneous gas hot-water system

• Reticulation

• Low-maintenance gardens
