No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.
Stamp duty and transfer fees: Tasmania schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with South Hobart's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
TASPlanning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. 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.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $545/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 3.2%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.
Verdict
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
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.

Listing material
Listed by EIS PropertySet beneath the backdrop of kunanyi/Mount Wellington, this warm and inviting home combines original character with thoughtful modern updates in one of South Hobart's most loved pockets. Offering four bedrooms across two levels, beautifully renovated spaces and a wonderful sense of light throughout, it is a home that has been cleverly transformed with family living in mind.
Upstairs, polished timber floorboards and large windows bring warmth and character to the home. The generous living area features striking exposed brickwork, while the adjoining kitchen and dining space creates an easy setting for everyday family life.
Three bedrooms are positioned on this level, two with built-in robes, along with an updated bathroom and separate laundry. Fresh, light-filled and comfortable, the main level retains the charm of the original home while feeling beautifully updated.
Downstairs is where the home really sets itself apart. The former under-house space has been completely transformed to create an impressive parents' retreat, providing a private space away from the main accommodation upstairs. A generous bedroom with feature panelling is complemented by a walk-in robe and beautiful ensuite with both a bath and walk-in shower. Timber detailing, feature lighting and a striking staircase add warmth and personality to this thoughtfully created space.
Outside, there is plenty of room to enjoy the surrounding garden, while dual driveways and generous off-street parking provide excellent practicality for families.
And then there is the location. Just minutes from Hobart's CBD and the iconic Cascade Brewery, the home is within easy reach of South Hobart Primary School, local cafés, shops and public transport. Some of Hobart's best bushwalking and mountain bike trails are also close by, with kunanyi/Mount Wellington providing an incredible backdrop to everyday life.
Beautifully updated while retaining the warmth and character that makes these South Hobart homes so appealing, 104 Marlyn Road offers a flexible family home in a location that is very easy to love.
