Brief History:  A two-storey building was built over the years1877 and 1888 and housed Fergusson & Moore, Printers. A Fire destroyed the printing and stationery warehouse in 1897, which was said to have been the oldest printing office in the Colony of Victoria

Facilities: Security entrance

Very central CBD location with only a short walk to cafes, shops and restaurants

Demographics: An exclusive block, 241 Flinders lane has a good mix of owner occupied and investors. The property is especially well suited for dual occupiers wishing to use the unit as a second home, it is also of interest to people looking to live and work from the city especially young professionals with many of the rentals being offered fully furnished.

241 Flinders Lane Forecast for the 09-10 Financial Year: Whilst early stagnation in 2009 caused by the GFC saw a reduction in clearance rates we envisage that continuing first home owner interest and buying power will keep the market buoyant in Melbourne.

With interest rates tipped to continue to rise, we could experience a leveling of the general market in 2010 particularly in the pre $500,000 range. Investors have started to make a comeback in 2010 with first home owners lose their puff and buying power.
