Districts View
View not ready — official layers are still retrieving for this property. Official planning layers still retrieving. Flood / bushfire / heritage not yet retrieved. No recorded sale price for this property. Districts does not score a property it cannot yet see.
Nothing about this record stands out yet — coverage may still be filling in.
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.

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 $568/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.

Listed by Peterswald for PropertyFor Sale by Expressions of Interest Closing 5 pm 21/2/2019
(The Vendor reserves the right to consider offers prior to the closing date)
This grand old lady of Hobart was constructed around 1840 by Father John Joseph Therry in sandstone and brick and is conveniently located on the fringe of the Hobart CBD, although back in 1840 this was considered the outskirts of town. The property has almost 30 rooms and off street parking for 5 to 8 cars, including a lock up garage and 2 undercover parking spaces, workshops, garden shed etc..
The house is divided into 4 apartment spaces (including the owners main residence) and a commercial office with storerooms.
The owners residence and 2 of the apartments have been fully refurbished including complete rewiring new floor coverings, and upgraded bathrooms, kitchens and living areas, and provide an instant income stream in excess of $1200 per week as long term tenancies, or they could be used as short stay tenancies to maximise the returns.
The out-buildings also offer returns as parking or storage in their current state, or could be converted to self contained accommodation (STCA).
The larger upstairs apartment of over 16 squares is vacant, has not been refurbished and the new owners will be able to realise the potential of this area and increase the rental return with renovation of this area, likewise the office area is also vacant and will require an upgrade which will increase the rental return further or it could be used by the new owner as a private office area.
The north facing main residence has a quirky mix of rooms including Father Therry's private chapel with it's Georgian gothic windows. The house features many original Georgian features including original (and functional!) cedar shutters on many of the windows and french doors and a great many 6 panel internal cedar doors. The property also enjoys impressive, original Australian cedar mantle pieces in the 2 larger rooms. The main residence has up to 4 bedroom spaces, but the current owners have configured it as a 2 bedroom residence with a dining room and a study. Through the living room's french doors lies a leafy linear garden space that provides a calm sanctuary from the busy city nearby.
This property offers immediate returns and amenity for quality living, with enormous potential for the new owners to take it to the next level. This is a one of a kind property package that would be hard to find again in central Hobart.
The current owners have completed a sensitive restoration of a large part of the building, as well as much remedial works and new storm water drains and structural improvements etc. An investor or an owner occupier will find this extensive and diverse property ensures a solid and reliable income stream. On the fringes of the Hobart CBD, it provides a unique mixture of tenancies, with many of the benefits of a diverse property portfolio in the one property acquisition. With such a large range of immediate and potential rentable areas, this property virtually eliminates costly vacancy periods and it's position will always ensure a good return.
