Police are investigating after witnesses reportedly saw someone fleeing the scene of a suspicious fire that destroyed a house on the Sunshine Coast just months after the property was sold.

Emergency crews were called to reports of vehicles and a house on fire on Caloundra St at Landsborough about 9.50pm, Sunday, October 27.

The Queensland Fire Department sent five crews to fight the blaze, which was extinguished about 10.30pm.

The property at Caloundra St was bought by Gavin Properties Pty Ltd in July for $716,000, according to property data.

A passer-by at the scene said the tenants of the property had recently been told they needed to move out.

Multiple vehicles on the property were also damaged. Picture Lachie Millard
