Beresford apartment investment · Western Australia · 6530
Is a Beresford apartment a good investment?
The answer depends on the apartment, the price and the loan.
Using Beresford’s median apartment price and rent, the property brings in about $415 / week in rent. The loan and other costs total about $815 / week. The owner pays the remaining $400 / week before tax.
The loan is the biggest cost. With an 80% loan, the repayment is about $497 / week. Change the price, deposit or interest rate below to see how much the owner would pay each week.

General information only. This estimate does not consider your goals, financial situation or needs. Do not rely on it as the only reason to buy a property or choose a loan.
03 · Price and rent
What would need to change?
At the median price, the rent does not cover the loan and other weekly costs. These two charts show the price or rent needed to reach the target selected above.
Purchase price
No price in the range shown reaches the selected target with this rent and these assumptions.
Weekly rent
The rent would need to rise by $455 / week.
Listing sites show the asking price and advertised rent. Popurise shows what those numbers mean after the loan, strata and other costs are included.
04 · Weekly costs
Where the rent goes each week.
Start with the rent, then subtract the loan and each running cost. The final number shows what the owner pays or what remains after the weekly costs.
- Rent
- $415 / week
- Vacancy allowance
- −$16 / week
- Loan repayment
- −$497 / week
- Strata
- −$154 / week
- Property management
- −$34 / week
- Council and water
- −$50 / week
- Insurance
- −$15 / week
- Repairs and maintenance
- −$48 / week
- Owner pays
- $400 / week
The loan is by far the biggest cost. It accounts for about $497 / week of the $815 / week paid each week. That is why the price, deposit and interest rate change the result more than strata or the other property costs.
05 · Cash needed
How much cash is needed before buying?
The deposit is the largest part, but it is not the whole amount. Stamp duty and other buying costs also need to be paid before settlement.
- Deposit
- $87,00020% of the purchase price
- WA stamp duty
- $17,828No first-home concession included
- Legal and conveyancing
- $2,200
- Inspections and loan costs
- $1,400Building and pest inspection plus estimated loan setup costs
This does not include the money needed to cover weekly costs after settlement. A larger deposit needs more cash upfront but reduces the loan and weekly repayment.
06 · What matters most
What changes the weekly result most?
Each row changes one number while everything else stays the same. The change with the largest effect appears first.
Each change is tested on its own. In real life, several numbers may change together. For example, a lower price also reduces the deposit, stamp duty and loan.
07 · 5 and 10 years
What could the result look like after 5 or 10 years?
This estimate combines the weekly costs, the amount of the loan paid down, buying and selling costs and an assumed 3% yearly rise in property value and rent. The growth rate is an assumption, not a prediction.
- Assumed increase in value after 5 years
- $69,284
- Loan paid down
- $22,993
- Stamp duty and buying costs
- −$21,428
- Weekly costs paid while owned
- −$103,914
- Selling costs
- −$11,586
- Estimated result before tax
- −$44,650
This is an illustration, not a forecast. Real prices, rent, interest rates, costs and tax outcomes will differ. The result can also be worse than the estimate shown.
08 · Data and assumptions
Which numbers are local, and which are assumptions?
The apartment price and rent are the public market figures displayed for Beresford on property.com.au, a suburb benchmark rather than government data. Every other number is a Popurise starting assumption that can be changed above.
Local data for Beresford

- Popurise independently calculates the stamp duty, financing, weekly cash flow, gross yield and 5 and 10-year outcomes shown on this page. property.com.au does not endorse Popurise.
- Replace the benchmark price and rent with the actual listing price and the expected rent when you analyse a specific apartment.
- The median unit price reflects 15 unit sales. A median based on few sales can move sharply.
- property.com.au does not publish a rent sample count for the suburb, so the rent benchmark has no disclosed sample size.
- ABS Census 2021 dwelling-structure data confirms a genuine apartment market and provides the suburb boundary; it is not a price or rent source. The loan, owners-corporation, insurance, management, vacancy, repair, growth and selling figures are Popurise starting assumptions.

10 · Common questions
Common questions about investing in Beresford apartments.
How much cash is needed to buy an apartment in Beresford?
About $108,428 under these assumptions. That includes a 20% deposit of $87,000, about $17,828 in Western Australian transfer (stamp) duty and $3,600 for legal work, inspections and loan setup. It does not include the money needed to cover weekly costs after settlement.
How much rent would cover the weekly costs?
About $870 / week under the current settings. The benchmark unit rent is $415 / week, so it would need to be about $455 / week higher for the rent to cover the loan and other weekly costs.
What purchase price would reach the selected weekly target?
The selected target is not reached within the price range shown. A higher rent, larger deposit or lower interest rate may change the result.
How much do strata costs affect the result?
At the assumed $8,000 / year, body-corporate (strata) costs about $154 / week. An extra $1,000 / year means the owner pays about $19 / week more. Actual body-corporate fees vary widely between buildings, so replace this assumption with the real figure when analysing a property.
What happens if interest rates rise?
The loan is the largest weekly cost in this example. A rise from 6.3% to 7.3% means the owner pays about $53 / week more, taking the weekly amount paid from about $400 / week to about $453 / week before tax.
Is this based on a particular apartment?
No. It starts with the benchmark unit price and rent displayed for Beresford on property.com.au, then uses the assumptions shown on this page. A real apartment may have a different price, rent, body-corporate cost, condition, outlook, building history and loan.
Where does the Beresford price and rent data come from?
The unit price and rent are the public market figures displayed for Beresford on property.com.au, retrieved August 2026 (median from 15 unit sales). property.com.au does not publish a rent sample count. ABS Census 2021 data confirms a genuine apartment market and provides the suburb boundary. Popurise independently calculates the duty, financing, weekly cash flow, yield and 5 and 10-year outcomes. These are property.com.au market benchmarks, not government data.
What should be checked before analysing a real apartment?
Replace the benchmark price, rent and assumptions with the property’s actual numbers: asking price, supported rental estimate, body-corporate levies, council and water rates, insurance, condition and repair needs, building defects or special levies, and your loan terms. The suburb page is the starting point. Popurise Investor is where the actual property is analysed.
