Districts View
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.

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: Victoria schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with East Melbourne's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
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
VICPlanning 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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $804/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. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 10.5%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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.

Listing material
Listed by Ray White CREPerfectly positioned within one of East Melbourne's most tightly held and prestigious pockets, Regents Gate sits amongst elegant heritage streetscapes and leafy surrounds, a setting that defines the very best of inner-city living. This East Melbourne pied-a-terre offers an effortless lifestyle in an exceptional location.
Designed in 1939 by architect Bernard Evans, who served as Lord Mayor of Melbourne in 1959 and 1960, Regents Gate comprises twenty-four apartments across two symmetrical three-storey wings arranged around a lush central garden. Subtle Art Deco detailing and balanced proportions give the building a timeless presence, with these design cues carried from exterior to interior.
Thoughtfully designed and larger than a typical studio, it opens with a separate entry hall with built-in storage. A full bathroom follows, with a shower over bath and integrated laundry, while the refreshed kitchen features an electric cooktop and generous cabinetry, maintaining the apartment's original character.
The light-filled living and sleeping space is generous and versatile, with a defined alcove for the bed. Original Art Deco features remain throughout, including a decorative fireplace, chandelier, distinctive windows and French doors. These open to a leafy balcony outlook, creating a calm, private retreat.
The location is equally compelling: just one block from Fitzroy Gardens, and a 15-minute walk to the cafés, restaurants and boutiques of Spring Street and the Paris end of Collins Street. Jolimont is close by, while Collingwood's vibrant cafés and the celebrated Gertrude and Smith Street precincts are within 15-20 minutes on foot, with Bridge Road also nearby. The MCG, Melbourne Park and the wider sporting precinct are all within easy reach, along with the Yarra River and the Royal Botanic Gardens.
East Melbourne itself offers a rare balance: a refined residential enclave with local cafés and quiet restaurants, yet moments from some of the city's most vibrant cultural precincts.
An allocated parking space is included, along with eligibility for two residential permits.
