9 Stanford Street, Maddington, WA 6109

Here it is folks, 809sqm of land with a house that's very much worth fixing… but it needs fixing. 
You can see the roof frame, which is because there's no ceiling. You can put one there though. 
That's the thing that makes it look the worst I reckon. (It's not a big deal, but it looks like one)
The thing that makes it look the best are the solid timber floors through the house. Polish them up and you've got a brilliant hardwood floor throughout the home… 

WHAT IT IS
It's a three-bedroom, one bathroom home. The floor plan gives you the details. It's got massive potential and it's a great opportunity to get into the market and make money rather than pay too much and make money for someone else!
The 809sqm block has side access and all kinds of space to work with. 

ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERING

WHAT'S GOING ON?
So… first things first. This ain't the worst I've seen. Not even close. 
It's not particularly photogenic so the photos are a pretty fair indication of things being what they are. 
Now, it's 2025 and I know folks tend to blame these kinds of places on the influence of, you know, substances and stuff. 
The reason it looks like it does is that the owner was somewhat of a hoarder. Embracing the concept of one man's trash being another man's treasure and treasuring all kinds of trashy bits and pieces. Due to that passionate pursuit of bric-a-brac, the maintenance tasks were left to one side… for a couple of decades. And here we are.

IS IT OK? 
We've had a structural report conducted on the property and the roof frame, the sub floor and the walls have been checked and they're OK. So, while we've got a bunch of stuff to do, it's stuff worth doing. 

WILL THEY BE FIXING ANYTHING? 
No, what you see is what you get. There's a bit of junk out the back and that's thrown in on the deal so you get the fun of throwing it out.
The Electrical Safety Certificate is completed so that's all safety checked and ready to go. 

WHAT NEEDS DOING?
New ceiling, new kitchen, some new doors, new bathroom, sand and polish the floors, some gardens… It doesn't need to be fancy though.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT NEEDS A LOT OF WORK, WILL THEY TAKE A LOWER OFFER?  
I just told you it needs work, it needed work when we listed it. It's priced like it is because it is what it is. If it wasn't what it is it would be priced like what it isn't. It's the cheapest place on a full size block anywhere. Best offer over $449,000 is what we're chasing. 
We're running our first viewing before they'll look at offers. 

WHAT'S THE ZONING?
R17.5 for now. It's POSSIBLY changing to R20 in the new town planning scheme but the folks at City of Gosnells can tell you more about that. 

CAN I SUBDIVIDE IT? 
No. Under that zoning the minimum lot size you can create is 500sqm so this will fall short of that. 
If it goes to R20 then the average size for that code is 450sqm. 450x2+900. 900-809=91. 
91sqm too small... Nope. Probably not going to happen. 
You could maybe do a granny flat though... 

CAN I BUILD A GRANNY FLAT?
Very likely! I can't say yes because I'm not the City of Gosnells. They can tell you more though, and you can call them on 08 9397 3000 to ask them directly. 

HOW MUCH ARE THE RATES? 
City of Gosnells Approx $1700
Water Corporation Approx $1040

IS IT CONNECTED TO SEWER?
