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

Why this property?

  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Darch (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,665/m² of land (n=118). 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.

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 294 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 $828/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 294 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.

Walking in to this property you can see that it is filled with brightly lit spaces and has a stylish design throughout. Neutral toned walls, carpet to the bedrooms and tiled areas to the floors help each room feel as comfortable as it can be. The front study room - could also be used alternatively as an activity area or small family room - looks out on to the front yard, providing a nice outlook for a desk or lounge settee. Each room has white venetian blinds, and this study area also has dark curtains to cut out any light if you prefer.

Coming through to the bedrooms, all the rooms are a nice size and have built in robes - with the main bedroom featuring both a walk in robe plus it's own private ensuite. To cool down the main bedroom in summer there is an air conditioner, and some of the other rooms have ceiling fans providing a nice breeze.

The main living areas are lit by downlights, and there is plenty of natural light as well. There is another air conditioner here to keep the family cool whilst they relax in the living area. The sliding door nearby opens out on to the patio and courtyard which would be a great area for outdoor entertaining in the summer. Low-maintenance style, it does not pose too much work for those who are FIFO or busy, but at the same time it is large enough to put an outdoor table and chairs, and some potplants or small garden area to the side.

Back inside and to the kitchen, you will see that this has been quite well designed with everything in mind. The sink and front benchtops overlooks the dining area, making it easy to serve meals and talk to each other whilst cooking. The built in oven faces the wall, and there is a stainless steel rangehood for overhead smoke. To both sides of the oven - and overhead - are cupboards which can be easily reached as you cook. Lastly the window, which provides a nice outlook for those in the dining area but also fills the kitchen with lots of bright light. Nothing has been forgotten here!

It is easy to imagine a pleasant lifestyle here. Currently rented out, it would be easy to continue this investment and with a high rental yield. Landsdale Gardens Primary School is a short 8 min walk (550m), Carnarby Rise Primary School and Landsdale Primary School at short 5 min drive (2.3km), Ashdale Secondary College and Kingsway Christian College at 4 min drive (2.2km). As for shops, Alexander Heights Shopping Centre is 20 minutes walk (1.4km). Landsdale Park reserve and walking trails are only a few houses away.

There is a lot of potential in this home - will you make the move to make this your new home today?
