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.

Suburb gross yield

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.
No rent is recorded for this listing. Enter a weekly rent to model yield.
Enter a purchase price and weekly rent to calculate yield.
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 and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. Official bond files are not loaded. Listing rent and suburb aggregates are evidence, not this address’s rent.
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.

The cottage is situated on approximately 544 sqm, and exudes warmth and charm, featuring original details such as high ceilings, decorative cornices, timber doors, skirting boards, and sash windows, the home has retained its heritage feel while offering functional updates. There are two generously sized bedrooms within the main residence, along with a third sleep-out area that offers excellent flexibility for guests, teenagers, or extended family. This separate space includes its own powder room and entry, ideal as a semi-self-contained studio or guest retreat.
Inside, the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area has been thoughtfully reconfigured to create a spacious and inviting environment. The large windows capture beautiful views out to the river and surrounding countryside, while a reverse-cycle heat pump provides year-round comfort, plus there is a sunroom offering a great office or reading nook while enjoying the natural sunlight.
At the rear, a fully enclosed verandah with outdoor blinds offers a wonderful indoor-outdoor living space where you can enjoy the view and the beautiful views of the gardens in any weather. Additionally there is a single lock up garage for storage.
Surrounding the house title there are mature deciduous trees, flowering shrubs, and carefully placed ornamental plantings create a truly breathtaking seasonal garden, with rhododendrons, camellias, daffodils, silver birch, and more scattered throughout the landscape, which can all be enjoyed without the gardening.
This property really needs to be seen to be appreciated, just a short walk from the waterfront, it's easy to indulge in an evening stroll along the river, or a morning in the sun with the kids in the playground. The relaxed community hosts regular events from Sunday Markets to musicals at the theatre, plus there is the wooden boat building, cafes, bowls club, and sports oval. Regular transport links Franklin to Huonville and Hobart making this a convenient, peaceful place to call home.
