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
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 681 m² — that is not official geometry. 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 $575/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.

UnknownWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 681 m² — that is not official geometry.
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?
UnknownThe constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.
Lot-level flood
UnknownOfficial flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). 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
UnknownDevelopment applications have not been queried 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.

Listing material
Listed by @realtyWollaston House is a category A+ listed heritage home with a wealth of history that is as fascinating as it is interesting and we can provide you with more on that if requested.
But it's very much the present that will sell this home. If there is one thing over 100 years brings you, its charm and character, a way of life that is cosseting and comforting. Two things the sterile boxes we pass off as homes today have little of.
Wollaston House brings these attributes to the front and centre of anyone's thinking when it comes to purchasing a home. Quaint, quirky, delightful, full of warmth, there are a number of ways to describe how this home makes you feel TODAY, much as it has done ever since it was built.
Another thing over 100 years of history gives you is a Prime Location! All the best land in Albany has been well and truly taken, 54 Duke Street was at the front of the queue when land selection began in Albany all those years ago.
Just a gentle flat stroll into downtown Albany where you will be greeted with restaurants, cafes and shopping to fill your day or night.
Opposite is Parade Street Park, which has held many uses over the years including being Albany's only senior soccer pitch at one point. Today it is a dog friendly space with facilities and lined with shady trees making it a lovely place to spend some time. It's a bit like having a massive front yard that you never have to maintain!
The first thing you notice upon entering the 681 square metre plot is the beautiful gardens. It complements the very essence of Wollaston House and takes you back to an age when we had time to bring nature to our doorstep with clever plantings and colour galore. Life is so relaxing here at Wollaston House.
The house itself has been in good hands but now the owner wishes to offer an opportunity for new custodians to enjoy. One could ramble on about the number of bedrooms, toilets, living space and so on, but that is missing the essence of what is for sale here. Suffice to say it all works and will provide the new owner with a place to park all the worries and stress of modern day living each time they arrive home.
Friends will want to visit and share in the presence of this home. It will be hard not to be a little bit smug as you sit back on your balcony and watch the Australia Day or New Year’s Eve fireworks over Princess Royal Harbour with a glass of your favourite in hand.
History is one thing, but the future is more important. All the things that have worked over the years will hold you in good stead for the years to come.
If you would like to purchase an Albany asset and you have little interest in the modern mundane style of living, look no further, unique to the core, easy to live in and just plain lovely in every way, Wollaston House will do for you what it has been doing for a long time for others well into your future.
For the opportunity to view this magnificent home please give Lorraine Stevenson a call on 0417 183 688.
