knowthatproperty is a website that provides historical information about properties of various categories and types, whether they are houses, churches, department stores, etc through thorough search and listing functionalities and property profile pages. Apart from historical information, the property profile pages also display information such as address, build dates, name of a given property or building, architect or builder details, council, zoning, protections placed on a property (if any) and more. The site allows users to contribute through comments, polls or submit and upload photographs to the various galleries across the site. More can be learnt about knowthatproperty at the About page.

At this point I'm not really taking any personal requests for particular properties as I'm trying to add the property records in a more uniform and complete fashion from suburb to suburb.

Fantastic! Feel free to contact me via the Contact page, choosing "Property Enquiry/Info". Alternatively, you can contact me via contact@knowthatproperty.com. Please also provide links to the various sources where you found the information so that they can be seen, confirmed and referenced.

In order to be able to upload to the galleries at knowthatproperty.com you must be a "Trusted Contributer". Once a Trusted Contributor, you will be able to access the galleries for properties across the site and upload your photos to them. You will also be able to manage your images by adding accompanying information to them such as a description, caption, cite sources and original photographer.

To access the gallery and image management system, first locate a property of your choice and go to it's Property Details page and click the "gallery management" link. From there you will be able to see the galleries that you have access to upload to (if any). Click on the thumbnail to select a gallery. From the gallery page you will be able to upload photos. (Also See: 3.4 How do I become a Trusted Contributor)

As described above, locate the Property Details page for the given property of your choice, go to it's gallery management page and select a gallery. From there you will see thumbnails for all the images that you have uploaded to that gallery. Select an image to access the image management page and from there you can modify it's details or upload a replacement image, while keeping the original details intact.

BMP, GIF or JPG files are considered valid file formats.

No. Only site staff are able to contribute to featured galleries. The featured gallery is the gallery that "represents" the property on the site. Trusted contributors can upload to galleries for properties for which they have been designated access to. There will be a designated public gallery for this.

Any photos of buildings of historic value within Australia can be contributed including interior and exterior photos of buildings that have since been demolished. Photos of buildings in the process of demolition or under the threat of demolition can also be contributed. It's important to provide source of photos/information and respect people's work. Photos shared must be either your own or you have permission to share them.

At this point, knowthatproperty.com is typically only really interested in properties and buildings up until around the 1930's or so. That being said, there can be exceptions as there can be some truly unique designs and architecture beyond that period. Sometimes this may have to be evaulated on a case-by-case basis.

For Unregistered or Registered user: If you have yet to register, first, be sure to register an account with knowthatproperty.com. Once you are a registered user, using the e-mail address that is tied to your knowthatproperty account - the one that you signed up with (see your Profile Management page), send an e-mail to contact@knowthatproperty.com with at least one sample photo of what you intend to upload and the address of the property. You will then be upgraded to a Trusted Contributor. A property record will be created, if required, and a gallery setup for you to contribute to. (SEE ALSO: How to become a trusted contributor)

For Trusted Contributors: You will already have access to contribute to any property galleries across the site, but if you have photos of a given property for which there is no record, or for which there is no public gallery to contribute to, send an e-mail to contact@knowthatproperty.com and the property and/or it's gallery will be setup.

No, it doesn't cost any money to become a Trusted Contributor. This site welcomes and invites anyone to contribute interesting photos - for instance, if you have come across photos in a personal album that contains photos of a house, such as one that may have been in the family that has since been demolished, these types of photos would be greatly appreciated!

In order to become a Trusted Contributor, first, be sure to register an account with the site, then send an e-mail to contact@knowthatproperty.com with the address of the property for which you want to contribute photos to, along with at least one photo as a sample of what you wish to upload.

To post links to other sites you can simply type or copy paste the URL such as http://www.knowthatproperty.com. To style text in bold or italic fashion you can use [b]my bold text[/b] or [i]my italic text[/i] tags. Any text inbetween the tags will be styled. All tags must use lowercase letters. There are also more URL options with the TextTool Pop-Up.

The TextTool Pop-Up allows you to stylize text and creating custom URL clickable text and to more easily setup and post links to properties on the site. Open the TextTool by clicking the small icon.

Creating a property link: Click "Create Property Link" in the menu. From here enter the full address details of the property as well as the URL text you wish to be clickable then click "Generate", which will generate some text in the textbox at the bottom. Hover over the generated text, right-click and select copy. Paste the generated text in a text field of your choice. If more than one property is found based on the address you have entered, a list will appear below the Generate Button. Select the property of your choice from the list, which will in turn update the Generated text in the textbox below - no need to click the "Generate" button again, unless you enter a new address.

Creating Custom URLs: Click "Create Any Link" in the menu. Enter the URL link in the URL Address field and the text you wish to be clickable in the URL Text field and click "Generate". An example of the text generated is [url='http://www.knowthatproperty.com']Go to my site[/url], where "Go to my site" will become the clickable text leading to knowthatproperty.com. As with before, hover over the generated text created below, right-click and select copy. Paste the generated text into a text field of your choice.

Styling Text: You can style text by clicking "Styling Options" in the menu. From here you can choose which style you would like - Bold or Italic. Simply enter the text you wish to style and click "Generate". Hover over the textbox and right-click on the generated text and select copy, then paste the text into your chosen textfield. You can also style the text simply by using the [b][/b] or [i][/i] tags as shown above.

The first step is to confirm your choice of country and state from the drop down lists. From there, you must at the very least enter the name of a city in the chosen state. From here, you can now list ALL properties in the database for the chosen city without any further refinements, if you so wish. Beyond that, you can enter a suburb name, postcode, street name, council name - the choice is up to you. When entering an address number keep in mind entering say 11 will not give you an address at 11A, and vice versa - the search is very specific in this sense.

To help you search for properties based on location, there are partial matches. For city name you can enter "S" which will list all cities with names such as "Sydney" or "Singleton", being more specific and entering "Syd" will only return "Sydney", etc. The same applies for council and suburb names as well. With street name you must enter the full valid name of the street such as "Church" if you are after a street called Church Street, although street type is not required to get a list of matches. It's also important to keep in mind that you can enter a street name without having to enter a suburb name or postcode. For instance entering a city such as "Sydney" and street name "Church" will list all streets with the name of "Church" in Sydney - from there you can refine your choice of a suburb to go to with the street. Take note of the matches returned on the top right to help you with your choice.
