Districts View
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.

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
TASZoned Inner Residential · 114.9 (Hobart Local Provisions Schedule). Official parcel area about 269 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $579/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.
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
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.
3 of 10 questions answered so far
Development optionality of this lot
KnownmediumZoned Inner Residential · 114.9 (Hobart Local Provisions Schedule). Official parcel area about 269 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.
Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Honest achievable rent
KnownlowThis 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
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?
KnownmediumNo material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.
Lot-level flood
UnknownFlood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”
Catalyst exposure
UnknownFunded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
This lot's DA history
UnknownNo DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.
Statutory land value versus ask
UnknownStatutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.
Net yield / holding costs
UnknownNet yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Listing material
Listed by Elders Real Estate HobartWith beautiful Italianate features throughout serving as the hallmark of this impressive circa early 1900s townhouse, "Renfrew" is desirably located in Swan Street, just off the cosmopolitan North Hobart strip. The classic architecture of the home melds seamlessly with sensitively implemented contemporary updates, to offer a character filled home and enviable lifestyle and address.
The generously proportioned floorplan offers flexibility over three levels. A conservatory extension on the lower ground floor extends the open plan living space off the kitchen to create a warm and inviting light filled room opening onto the rear paved terrace and garden. The kitchen will delight the home chef, with a walk in pantry and quality joinery and appliances to make entertaining friends and family a breeze. A formal living room and bathroom complete the floorplan on this level.
The ground floor accommodates the private master suite comprising a bedroom with original fireplace, ensuite bathroom, walk in robe/dressing room, study and parents' retreat. A formal living or dining room adjacent to the entrance hall on this level offers a quiet and more intimate lounge area away from the open plan heart of the home.
The staircase to the first floor reveals up to three further bedrooms, one with ensuite, and a sitting room. Displaying a level of craftsmanship almost unobtainable in modern builds, original fireplaces, polished hardwood floors, coloured glass accents, picture rails, decorative plaster work and ornate William Morris wallpapers enhance the ambience of the home.
A picturesque city scape extending to views of the River Derwent is enjoyed from the upper levels of the home. The combination of gas and wood heating ensures year round comfort, and off street parking is provided at the back of the home. A wine cellar and capacious ceiling storage add amenity.
Just moments from the historic State Cinema and many cafes, restaurants, bars and shops of North Hobart, this property is also within walking distance of excellent schools, Hill Street Grocer and Hobart's CBD. A truly exceptional home, this is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a piece of Tasmania's history and buy into this tightly held, yet highly sought after locale.
