More Information

The data on this website, including in the graphs and calculator, is approximate in nature and should not be relied upon.

Talking to a top local real estate agent is a good first step to determine what you may be required to pay to sell your property and to understand the local property market.

The graph and calculator use data collected by Which Real Estate Agent in 2019, and provides a state-wide average estimation of commission rate. The data presented should only be used as an indication of what you may be required to pay.

Be careful of extra fees that may be charged by a real estate agent. We recommend you properly review the agency agreement and cost schedules, so there are no surprises when you are presented with the final bill.

There is almost always room to negotiate commissions with agents. Do not be afraid to ask for an agent fee structure that favours your situation and ensures the agent does their job.

However, remember that an agent willing to drop their agent fees to rock-bottom are not likely to have your best interests at heart. Make sure you’re not just padding out someone else’s sales statistics - you should spend a little more to make more.

WHAT IS MY HOUSE PRICE ESTIMATE?

There are several variables that can affect property values in The Gap. To accurately estimate the value of your The Gap property, these variables need to be taken into account.

One of the most significant, but surprising, contributors to your property price is proximity to loud areas or industry.

Several nearby types of infrastructure may drive your house value estimation down. Public infrastructure such as busy roads or flight paths could generate a lot of noise pollution which may deter some buyers, leading to your property selling at a lower price.

With so many potential factors affecting a property’s price, it’s best to do some research before talking to agents.

It’s a good idea to start with some independent research, before committing to selling your The Gap property. Start by looking at property market statistics which will give you an idea of property values and price trends. Speak with a few agents to see what they think of your property, and how to best market and sell your home.

Make sure you are sure about selling, and are realistic about your property’s value when talking to agents. A mistake here could cost you. The best way to avoid costly missteps and get a good price is to sign up with a strong local real estate agent that can walk you through the whole selling process in an honest way.

The Gap Suburb Overview

The Gap is a leafy and hilly suburb of Brisbane, in Queensland, Australia, located approximately 11 km west of the Brisbane CBD.

The Gap was named for its geographical location – a valley – as it is surrounded by hills on four sides – Mount Coot-tha, Taylor Range, Mount Nebo and Mount Glorious. The name “The Gap” is from the gap between Taylor Range and Mt Coot-tha which was the only access to this area in the early days. Now there is access over Taylor Range via Settlement Road and Dillon Road/Gap Creek Road which passes to the back of Mt Coot-tha, as well as the road over Mt Nebo/Mt Glorious.

Initially inhabited by the Turrbal people, The Gap was originally heavily forested. With the arrival of European settlement, timber felling became the first industry in the area, and with the removal of the timber the area was turned over to farming. The first crown lease of land was in 1851, to Darby McGrath who ran a sheep station across the entire valley. The first freehold land sale was made in 1858, to P.J. and J. Paten in the area where Paten road runs today. Access to The Gap in the 1850s was via tracks which became Waterworks and Payne Roads. They also provided access to Enoggera Dam which was built in 1866 to provide a water supply for Brisbane. Following World War I the area was broken up into smaller farms for returned servicemen, many of whom farmed poultry and dairy cattle. Many of these farms were too small to be commercially successful, however small pockets of farming remained in The Gap until the 1980s.

From 1879 The Gap was part of the Ithaca local government division, then part of the Shire of Enoggera from 1887 to 1925.

Masons jam factory used to be located to the east of the Ashgrove Golf Course, but has not existed for the past two decades. A gold mine was located near the entrance to Payne Road Primary School. The billabong between The Gap State High School and Payne Road Primary School used to be a favourite swimming location and over the years has been home to turtles, eels and platypus. It was named Shepherd’s Pool, supposedly after a shepherd who was killed by aborigines in 1852, although the name may derive from a P.A. Shepherd, who leased the adjacent land in the 1930s. There used to be a toll gate located on Waterworks Road near what is now the entrance to Brisbane Forest Park.

The Gap was severely affected by a major storm on the afternoon of 16 November 2008. A microburst hit The Gap with extremely high winds, causing many trees to fall onto homes and major roads, as well as causing many houses to lose their roofs. The Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, toured the suburb, on 18 November, accompanied by the Premier of Queensland, Anna Bligh, as well as the State Member for Ashgrove, Kate Jones, and the Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Campbell Newman. Also touring the suburb to survey the storm damage was the Minister for Resources and Energy, Martin Ferguson.Kevin Rudd pledged Commonwealth support for residents affected by the disaster and the State Government is also providing financial assistance for storm victims.

Brisbane City Council commented that there are water exemptions for cleaning up debris from the storm, and that extra garbage collections will take place specifically to collect rotten food following long-lasting power loss to storm victims.

Debris from the storm was so extensive that bus services to The Gap were disrupted on Monday, 17 November 2008, with buses terminating at West Ashgrove instead of continuing driving to The Gap.

The district was later subdivided into blocks of land for housing estates. The recreational activities of inhabitants of the suburb are well catered for, with many facilities including many sporting clubs and there are a number of lush green parks.

The Gap is also where the main entrance to the Brisbane Forest Park is located. A major bushland area in Brisbane’s west, Brisbane Forest Park has many Australian wildlife species, including marsupials, birds, fish and reptiles. Brisbane Forest Park also has an information and wildlife education centre.

The suburb has a small shopping village. There are also Christian churches of many denominations, as well as a local Police Station in the suburb.
