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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $2,600,000 (9 July 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Mount Lawley (last 5 years) with land size: median $4,221/m² of land (n=42). 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 439 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 $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.

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 439 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.

Listing material

Listed by ZSA ZSA Property

88 First

Behind its Federation façade, 88 First reveals a meticulously reimagined residence, extended and renovated in 2020 with a clear and considered vision. Thoughtfully resolved, the home honours its architectural origins while introducing a refined contemporary rear — resulting in a residence that feels both grounded and quietly progressive, a reflection of its position within one of Mount Lawley's most established and tightly held streets.

SPOTLIGHT

/ Originally built circa early 1900's and extended and renovated in 2020

Read the full description

/ 439 sqm survey-strata block

/ Extension designed by Ben Murdock

/ Kitchen with ceramic tops, Miele appliances including induction cooktop, oven and integrated dishwasher, Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer units

/ Victoria + Albert freestanding bath to ensuite

/ Premium Faucet Strommen tapware to bathrooms

/ Reverse-cycle air conditioning systems servicing the main home and main suite

/ Solar panel system with 5kW inverter

The home's Federation façade sets the tone, with a traditional front verandah that invites a slower pace, complete with an overhead ceiling fan. Inside, the original home retains all the hallmarks of its era—rich jarrah flooring, ornate ceiling roses, picture rails, and delicate stained glass—each element carefully preserved. This character is complemented by a confident modern extension, designed by Ben Murdock (now of Archive Office), where clean lines, curated lighting, and considered finishes introduce a more contemporary language without disrupting the home's natural rhythm.

At the centre, the kitchen is deliberately understated. Designed with a fully integrated, minimalist aesthetic, it conceals its functionality behind streamlined cabinetry, complemented by ceramic stone benchtops that introduce both durability and quiet refinement. Miele appliances — including an induction cooktop, oven, and integrated dishwasher — are paired with dual integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge-freezers, ensuring the space remains both highly functional and visually restrained.

Living unfolds across multiple zones, offering both intimacy and connection. The main lounge is anchored by a decorative fireplace, adding a sense of warmth and heritage, while an adjacent dining area and secondary meals space is defined by a “Cinzano” mural — introducing a layer of texture and character to the home. To the rear, bi-fold doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, opening to a private alfresco complete with a pizza oven — an inviting setting designed for effortless entertaining or quiet retreat.

Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, with three bedrooms positioned within the original home, each featuring built-in robes and retained character detail. The main suite offers a more contemporary experience, complete with a refined ensuite. Here, floor-to-ceiling tiling is paired with premium Faucet Strommen tapware and a sculptural Victoria + Albert bath, creating a space that feels both elevated and enduring.

Beyond the primary living areas, the home continues to deliver. A cellar provides a unique and functional addition, while a mudroom with integrated laundry, storeroom, and secure garage with turntable access enhance everyday practicality. Solar panels with a 5kW inverter support the home's efficiency, and additional features including reticulated gardens round out a well-considered offering.

Positioned in one of Mount Lawley's most sought-after pockets, the home enjoys immediate access to the vibrancy of Beaufort Street, with its cafés, restaurants, and local amenities. Proximity to the Perth CBD ensures convenience, while zoning for Mount Lawley Senior High School and effortless access to Perth College further reinforce the location's enduring appeal.
