What should you know about this lot before spending serious money?

Why this property?

  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Paddington (last 5 years) with land size: median $5,190/m² of land (n=54). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

What could make it worth less?

No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.

What should you verify next?

  1. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No hazard layer has been retrieved — confirm flood, bushfire and heritage exposure from council mapping before an offer.

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.

Capital growth

QLD

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Planning 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.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $775/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

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

What this means for this property

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

What is known for this property

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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This 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

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    Development applications have not been queried for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Incomparable Lifestyle and History in this Heritage Paddington Landmark

An iconic heritage landmark visible across the Paddington skyline, this c.1887 Victorian homestead has been lovingly reinstated into an estate of resplendent beauty with sweeping panoramas of the city skyline, Suncorp Stadium and suburban landscape.

Steeped in history and gracing an exclusive 853sqm hilltop parcel, there is truly nothing like this in Paddington and very few properties of this calibre in Brisbane.

Paying homage to the past and infused with the essence of a magnificent family home, the remarkable transformation is sympathetic to the original timber terrace house footprint and meticulously curated with period elements sourced from the late 19th century.

The eight original fireplaces stand as architectural focal points, beautifully complemented by hand-laid parquetry flooring, hand-made French doors, 1887 William Morris wallpaper, Swarovski chandeliers, tessellated tiles, and intricate ceiling roses and mouldings.

Designed as a place to gather and entertain amongst the showstopping views, the Victorian kitchen and stately living spaces unfold to an expansive deck through stacking glass doors. Marvelling at the majestic Brisbane backdrop, this indoor/outdoor haven provides the perfect vantage point to watch the lights shine and the city come alive during Riverfire.

Family and friends can gather outdoors by the swimming pool, patio and backyard or enjoy relaxing moments in the hidden attic, which boasts a cigar lounge/library, a living retreat and a concealed bar adorned with original hoop pine floors and Dorma windows.

Three opulent bathrooms, with an additional three WC's, service the home office and six bedrooms. Two bedrooms are downstairs in a private dual living wing, and the master suite provides a sanctuary of serenity with a luxurious dressing room and inspired ensuite featuring an original 1915 clawfoot bath.
