Item 1.  Business

     Paine Webber Qualified Plan Property Fund Three, LP (the "Partnership") is
a limited partnership formed in June 1983 under the Uniform Limited Partnership
Act of the State of Delaware for the purpose of investing in a diversified
portfolio of existing income-producing operating properties through land
purchase-leaseback transactions and first mortgage loans.  The Partnership sold
$35,794,000 in Limited Partnership Units (35,794 Units at $1,000 per Unit) from
October 14, 1983 to October 13, 1984 pursuant to a Registration Statement filed
on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933 (Registration No. 2-85347).
Limited Partners will not be required to make any additional capital
contributions.

     Originally, the Partnership owned land and made first mortgage loans
secured by buildings with respect to six operating properties.  As of August 31,
1995, the Partnership's mortgage loan and land lease investments on two of the
original properties were still outstanding and the Partnership owned one
operating property directly as a result of foreclosing on a mortgage loan
investment.  The Partnership's wholly-owned real estate investment and the
security for the Partnership's other investments are described below.

(1) See Notes to the Financial Statements filed with this Annual Report for a
    description of the transactions through which the Partnership has acquired
    these real estate investments.

(2) On March 23, 1989, the Partnership foreclosed under the terms of the
    mortgage note receivable secured by the Westside Creek Apartments for non-
    payment of the required monthly payments of interest in accordance with the
    terms of the mortgage loan.  The Partnership has been operating the
    property utilizing the services of a local management company since the
    date of the foreclosure.  See Note 5 to the Financial Statements
    accompanying this Annual Report for a further discussion of this
    transaction.

     To date, the Partnership has sold or been prepaid on its investments with
respect to three of the original operating properties, including one during
fiscal 1995.  On September 25, 1989, the Partnership liquidated its investments
in a Howard Johnson's Hotel, located in Orlando, Florida.  The transaction
consisted of a repayment of the Partnership's mortgage loan receivable for
$6,400,000 as well as a sale of the related land at an amount equal to the
Partnership's original cost of $1,600,000.  The repayment resulted in a loss on
the mortgage loan investment of $1,799,750 and $750,000 of bad debt expense for
previously accrued but uncollectible interest income.  On July 31, 1992 the
Partnership liquidated its investments in the Exeter Street Theatre Building,
when the borrower sold the operating property to a third party.  The transaction
consisted of a prepayment of the mortgage loan receivable at par, for
$5,100,000, and a sale of the related land for $3,000,000 (prior to closing
costs).  The land had a carrying value of $500,000, equal to the Partnership's
original investment, at the time of the sale.  On February 20, 1990, an
affiliate of the Partnership, which held the mortgage loan and land lease on the
Cordova Creek Apartments, foreclosed on the property due to non-payment of the
required interest payments.  The affiliate operated the property, using the
services of a local management company, for more than five years during which
time the Partnership received a share of the net cash flow generated from
property operations after capital improvements.  On April 12, 1995, the
affiliate of the Partnership sold the property.  The Partnership, which owned a
3.5% equity interest in the operations of the property, received net proceeds of
$311,000 and realized a gain of $61,000 on the sale.

     The Partnership's investment objectives are to:
     (1)  preserve and protect the Limited Partners' capital and related buying
power;
     (2)  provide the Limited Partners with cash distributions from investment
income; and
     (3)  achieve long-term appreciation in the value of Partnership's
investments.

     Through August 31, 1995, the Limited Partners had received cumulative cash
distributions totalling approximately $38,946,000, or $1,100 per original $1,000
investment for the Partnership's earliest investors.  This return includes a
distribution of $224 per original $1,000 investment from the liquidation of the
Howard Johnson's mortgage loan and land investment in September of 1989, a
distribution of $232 per original $1,000 investment in October 1992 from the
liquidation of the Exeter Street Theatre Building investment in July 1992, and a
$42 distribution following the sale of the Cordova Creek Apartments in June 1995
($9 from the sale of Cordova Creek and $33 of excess Partnership reserves).  At
August 31, 1995, the Partnership retains an interest in three of the six
properties underlying its original mortgage loan and land investments.

     The Partnership's success in meeting its capital appreciation objective
will depend upon the proceeds received from the final liquidation of its
remaining investments.  The amount of such proceeds will ultimately depend upon
the value of the underlying investment properties at the time of their final
liquidation, which cannot presently be determined.  The Partnership expects to
finance or sell its investments and have its mortgage loans repaid from time to
time.  Due to the combination of relatively low mortgage interest rates and
increased availability of funds for sales and mortgage refinancings which has
existed over the past two years, the likelihood of the Partnership's loans being
prepaid has increased.  During fiscal 1995, the borrowers on both of the
outstanding loan investments approached the Partnership regarding potential
prepayment transactions.  See Item 7 for a further discussion of these potential
transactions.  While there are no assurances that these borrowers will be able
to finance prepayment transactions in the near term, if such transactions were
to be completed the Partnership would be positioned for a possible liquidation
pending the sale of the wholly-owned Westside Creek Apartments, which is
currently being marketed for sale.  In deciding whether to sell any of the
Partnership's investments, the General Partner will consider such factors as the
amount of appreciation in value, if any, to be realized, the risks of continued
investment and the anticipated advantages to be gained from continuing to hold
the investment.  The proceeds from such sales, financings or refinancings of the
investments will not be reinvested but will be distributed to the Partners, so
that the Partnership will in effect be self-liquidating.

     The property in which the Partnership has an equity interest and the
properties securing the Partnership's mortgage loan investments are located in
real estate markets in which they face significant competition for the revenues
they generate.  The apartment complexes compete with numerous projects of
similar type generally on the basis of price, location and amenities.  Apartment
properties in all markets also compete with the local single family home market
for prospective tenants.  The availability of low home mortgage interest rates
over the past three years has generally caused this competition to increase in
all areas of the country.  The shopping center also competes for long-term
commercial tenants with numerous projects of similar type generally on the basis
of rental rate, location and tenant improvement allowances.  The Partnership has
no real estate investments located outside the United States.  The Partnership
is engaged solely in the business of real estate investment.  Therefore, a
presentation of information about industry segments is not applicable.

     The Partnership has no employees; it has, however, entered into an Advisory
Contract with PaineWebber Properties Incorporated (the "Adviser"), which is
responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Partnership.  The Adviser is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated ("PWI"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of PaineWebber Group Inc. ("PaineWebber").

     The general partners of the Partnership (the "General Partners") are Third
Qualified Properties, Inc. and Properties Associates.  Third Qualified
Properties, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PaineWebber, is the Managing
General Partner of the Partnership.  The Associate General Partner is Properties
Associates, a Massachusetts general partnership, certain general partners of
which are also officers of the Adviser and the Managing General Partner.
Subject to the Managing General Partner's overall authority, the business of the
Partnership is managed by the Adviser.

     The terms of transactions between the Partnership and affiliates of the
Managing General Partner of the Partnership are set forth in Items 11 and 13
below to which reference is hereby made for a description of such terms and
transactions.

Item 2.  Properties

     As of August 31, 1995, the Partnership owns, and has leased back to the
sellers, the land related to the two investments referred to under Item 1 above
to which reference is made for the name, location and description of each
investment.  Additionally, the Partnership owns one property directly which was
acquired through foreclosure proceedings as noted in Item 1.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

    In November 1994, a series of purported class actions (the "New York
Limited Partnership Actions") were filed in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York concerning PaineWebber Incorporated's sale and
sponsorship of various limited partnership investments, including those offered
by the Partnership.  The lawsuits were brought against PaineWebber Incorporated
and Paine Webber Group Inc. (together "PaineWebber"), among others, by allegedly
dissatisfied partnership investors.  In March 1995, after the actions were
consolidated under the title In re PaineWebber Limited Partnership Litigation,
the plaintiffs amended their complaint to assert claims against a variety of
other defendants, including Third Qualified Properties, Inc., and Properties
Associates (`PA''), which are the General Partners of the Partnership and
affiliates of PaineWebber.

    The amended complaint in the New York Limited Partnership Actions alleges
that, in connection with the sale of interests in Paine Webber Qualified Plan
Property Fund Three, LP, PaineWebber, Third Qualified Properties, Inc. and PA
(1) failed to provide adequate disclosure of the risks involved; (2) made false
and misleading representations about the safety of the investments and the
Partnership's anticipated performance; and (3) marketed the Partnership to
investors for whom such investments were not suitable.  The plaintiffs, who
purport to be suing on behalf of all persons who invested in Paine Webber
Qualified Plan Property Fund Three, LP, also allege that following the sale of
the partnership interests, PaineWebber, Third Qualified Properties, Inc. and PA
misrepresented financial information about the Partnership's value and
performance.  The amended complaint alleges that PaineWebber, Third Qualified
Properties, Inc. and PA violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act ("RICO") and the federal securities laws.  The plaintiffs seek
unspecified damages, including reimbursement for all sums invested by them in
the partnerships, as well as disgorgement of all fees and other income derived
by PaineWebber from the limited partnerships.  In addition, the plaintiffs also
seek treble damages under RICO.  The defendants' time to move against or answer
the complaint has not yet expired.

     Pursuant to provisions of the Partnership Agreement and other contractual
obligations, under certain circumstances the Partnership may be required to
indemnify Third Qualified Properties, Inc., PA and their affiliates for costs
and liabilities in connection with this litigation.  The General Partners intend
to vigorously contest the allegations of the action, and believe that the action
will be resolved without material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial
statements, taken as a whole.

     The Partnership is not subject to any other material pending legal
proceedings.

Item 5.  Market for the Partnership's Limited Partnership Interests and Related
Security Holder Matters

     At August 31, 1995, there were 6,262 record holders of Units in the
Partnership.  There is currently no public market for the resale of Units, and
it is not anticipated that a public market for Units will develop.  The Managing
General Partner will not redeem or repurchase Units.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  The Partnership offered Limited Partnership Interests to the public from
October 1983 to October 1984 pursuant to a Registration Statement filed under
the Securities Act of 1933.  Gross proceeds of $35,794,000 were received by the
Partnership and, after deducting selling expenses and offering costs, approxi-
mately $31,410,000 was invested in six operating property investments in the
form of mortgage loans and land purchase-leaseback transactions.  Since the time
that the original investments were made, the Partnership has liquidated its
Howard Johnson's Hotel mortgage loan and land investments at a loss and has
liquidated its Exeter Street Theatre Building mortgage loan and land investments
and the investment in the Cordova Creek Apartments at gains.  In addition, the
Partnership assumed ownership of the Westside Creek Apartments property after
foreclosing under the terms of the first mortgage loan.  The Partnership's
investment in the Cordova Creek Apartments had also been converted to an equity
interest in the operating property as a result of foreclosure proceedings
carried out by an affiliated partnership.  The affiliated partnership which
held the majority ownership interest in the
Cordova Creek Apartments, PaineWebber Qualified Plan Property Fund Four, LP,
sold the property to an unaffiliated third party for $9,100,000 on April 12,
1995.  The Partnership had an ownership interest of 3.5% in the Cordova Creek
property.  The Partnership's share of the net sales proceeds was approximately
$311,000, which represented a $61,000 premium over the Partnership's cost basis.
A special distribution of $42 per original $1,000 investment, or $1,503,000, was
made to Limited Partners on June 15, 1995, which included the Cordova Creek net
sales proceeds and a distribution from cash reserves which were deemed to be in
excess of the Partnership's expected future requirements.

  Operations of the properties securing the Partnership's two remaining
mortgage loan investments remained strong during fiscal 1995 and continue to
fully support the debt service and land rent payments owed to the Partnership.
During the year ended August 31, 1995, the Partnership received additional rent
of $47,000 under the terms of the Woodcroft Shopping Center ground lease because
cash flow from the property was in excess of certain base amounts specified in
the lease agreement.  Leasing levels at the Appletree Apartments and Woodcroft
Shopping Center were 98% and 97%, respectively, as of August 31, 1995.  The
mortgage loans secured by the Appletree Apartments and Woodcroft Shopping Center
bear interest at annual rates of 11.00% and 11.25%, respectively.  As previously
reported, since current market interest rates for first mortgage loans are
considerably lower than these rates, and with the increased availability of
credit in the capital markets for real estate transactions, the likelihood of
the Partnership's mortgage loan investments being prepaid has been high since
the time that the terms of such mortgage loans allowed for prepayment.  The
Appletree loan became prepayable in April 1994.  However, the Appletree loan
includes a prepayment premium for any prepayment between May 1994 and April 1998
at rates between 5% and 1.25% of the mortgage loan balance.  The Woodcroft loan
became prepayable without penalty in December 1994.  As discussed further below,
the borrowers on both of the outstanding loan investments have approached the
Partnership regarding potential prepayment transactions.  While there are no
assurances that these borrowers will be able to finance such transactions in the
near term, if these transactions are completed the Partnership could be
positioned for a possible liquidation pending the disposition of the wholly-
owned Westside Creek Apartments, which, as discussed further below, is currently
being marketed for sale.

  During the last quarter of fiscal 1995, the Partnership received notice from
the Appletree borrower of its intent to prepay the Partnership's mortgage loan
and repurchase the underlying land.  The amount to be received by the
Partnership under the terms of the ground lease as its share of the appreciation
of the Appletree property has not been agreed upon to date.  The terms of the
ground lease provide for the possible resolution of disputes between the parties
over value issues through an arbitration process.  Presently, the Partnership
and the borrower continue to try to resolve their differences regarding the
value of the property.  If an agreement cannot be reached, the borrower could
force the Partnership to submit to arbitration during fiscal 1996.  In addition
to the amount to be determined as the Partnership's share of the property's
appreciation under the ground lease, the terms of the Appletree mortgage loan
require a prepayment penalty which would be equal to 3.75% of the outstanding
principal balance of $4,850,000.  If completed, the proceeds of this transaction
would be distributed to the Limited Partners.  However, the transaction remains
contingent on, among other things, a resolution of the value issue and the
borrower obtaining sufficient financing to repay its obligations to the
Partnership.  Accordingly, there are no assurances that this transaction will be
consummated.

  Subsequent to the end of fiscal 1995, the Partnership received notice from
the owner of the Woodcroft Shopping Center of its intent to repay the
Partnership's first mortgage loan and purchase the underlying land in
conjunction with a sale of the operating property to a third party.  The
proposed terms of the transaction would result in the full repayment of the
Partnership's mortgage loan of $4,335,000 and the receipt of $1,220,000 as
payment in full for obligations owing under the ground lease, representing the
repayment of the $500,000 land investment and $720,000 as the Partnership's
share of the appreciation in value of the underlying property.  The terms of the
Partnership's ground lease require that the Partnership agree with the
borrower's determination of  value for purposes of calculating the Partnership's
share of the appreciation in value due under the lease before a sale of the land
can be completed.  Management believes that the amounts due to the Partnership
under the proposed terms reflect the fair value of the underlying property, as
supported by the borrower's extensive marketing efforts which resulted in the
potential sale transaction and the Partnership's most recent independent
appraisal.  Accordingly, the Partnership has tentatively agreed to the terms of
this transaction.  However, the transaction remains contingent on, among other
things, the satisfactory completion of the buyer's due diligence and the
consummation of the sale transaction.  Consequently, there are no assurances
that this transaction will be completed.  If completed, the proceeds of this
transaction would be distributed to the Limited Partners.

  In January 1995, the Partnership executed a purchase and sale agreement to
sell the Westside Creek Apartments to an unaffiliated third party for
$6,775,000.  Subsequently, the prospective purchaser, which is a national
pension fund, encountered internal tax regulation compliance issues related to
the sale which prevented the sale from closing.  Accordingly, management has
begun to remarket the property to other potential buyers.  However, there are no
assurances that a sale transaction will be completed in the near future.
Management will base its hold/sell decision with respect to Westside Creek on an
assessment of the impact on the overall returns to the Limited Partners.
Management continues to believe that the Partnership will realize a substantial
gain over its original investment of $4,850,000 upon the eventual sale of the
Westside Creek property.
  At August 31, 1995 the Partnership had available cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $790,000.  Such cash and cash equivalents will be used for working
capital requirements and for distributions to the partners.  The source of
future liquidity and distributions to the partners is expected to be through
cash generated from the Partnership's real estate investments, repayment of the
mortgage loans receivable and the proceeds from the sales or refinancings of the
underlying land and the investment property.  Such sources of liquidity are
expected to be adequate to meet the Partnership's needs on both a short-term and
long-term basis.  However, to the extent that the potential loan prepayment and
land sale transactions discussed above are completed and the net proceeds are
returned to the Limited Partners, the Partnership's quarterly distribution rate
on remaining invested capital may have to be adjusted downward to reflect the
reduction in cash flows which would result from such transactions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
1995 Compared to 1994

  The Partnership's net income increased by $52,000 for the year ended August
31, 1995, when compared to the prior year.  The primary reason for the increase
in net income is the gain realized by the Partnership from the sale of the
Cordova Creek Apartments on April 12, 1995.  As discussed further above, the
Partnership held a 3.5% interest in Cordova Creek and realized a gain of $61,000
from the sale of the property.  The gain from the sale of Cordova Creek was
partially offset by a decrease in the income from the operations of the Westside
Creek Apartments of $6,000 and a decrease in the Partnership's operating income
of $3,000.  Income from the operations of the Westside Creek Apartments
decreased primarily due to an increase in capital improvement expenses over the
prior year.  Capital improvement expenses increased in connection with preparing
the property for a possible sale, as discussed further above.  Due the
Partnership's policy of accounting for its assets held for sale, capital
improvement costs are expensed as incurred.  Rental revenues at Westside Creek
were up slightly compared to fiscal 1994.  The Partnership's net operating
income decreased slightly, despite an increase in revenues of $43,000, due to an
increase in professional fees.  Professional fees increased mainly as a result
of legal expenses incurred in connection with the proposed Westside Creek sale
transaction which failed to close during fiscal 1995.


1994 Compared to 1993

  The Partnership's net income decreased by $35,000 for the year ended August
31, 1994, when compared to the prior year.  The decrease in net income was
mainly the result of a decrease in interest earned on invested cash equivalents
and a decrease in income from operations of the investment property held for
sale.  Interest earned on invested cash equivalents decreased by $21,000 during
fiscal 1994 as a result of a substantial decrease in the average outstanding
balance of cash held by the Partnership.  During the quarter ended November 30,
1992, the Partnership held the proceeds from the sale of the Exeter Street
Theatre Building investment.  These proceeds, of over $8 million, were invested
in short-term interest bearing instruments prior to being distributed to the
Limited Partners in October 1992.  Income from investment property held for sale
represents the net operating income of the Westside Creek Apartments property
reduced by capital improvement expenses.  Net income from the operations of
Westside Creek decreased by $17,000, mainly due to an increase in administrative
and capital improvement expenses.  The increases in administrative and capital
improvement expenses were partially offset by a slight increase in rental and
other income at Westside Creek.  A decline in Partnership general and
administrative expenses of $6,000 partially offset the reduction in interest
income and income from Westside Creek during fiscal 1994.

1993 Compared to 1992
  The Partnership's net income decreased by $3,081,000 for the year ended
August 31, 1993 when compared to the prior year.  The decrease was primarily due
to the gain recognized in fiscal 1992 of $2,479,000  from the liquidation of the
Exeter Street Theatre Building land and mortgage loan investments on July 31,
1992.   In addition, the Partnership's operating income decreased by $619,000
during fiscal 1993, primarily due to a decrease in revenue from land rents and
interest from mortgage loans of $766,000, which were also attributable to the
liquidation of the Exeter Street Theatre investments.  The decrease in land
rents and mortgage loan interest  was partially offset by decreases in
management fees and amortization expense.  Management fees decreased by $29,000
during fiscal 1993 due to the decrease in the adjusted cash flow distributed to
the Limited Partners subsequent to the sale of the Exeter Street Theatre
Building investment and the return of the capital proceeds to the Limited
Partners.  Amortization expense decreased $147,000 as a result of the write-off
of deferred expenses associated with the Exeter Street Theatre Building
investment in the prior year.

  Net income from the operations of the Westside Creek Apartments increased by
$16,000 in fiscal 1993, primarily as a result of an increase in revenues of
$51,000 due to an increase in occupancy from 94% at August 31, 1992 to 96% at
August 31, 1993, along with a slight improvement in rental rates.  The increase
in revenues was partially offset by an increase in expenses of $35,000 due to
the roof replacement of three buildings, parking lot repairs and various
landscaping improvements.

Inflation

  The Partnership completed its eleventh full year of operations in fiscal 1995
and the effects of inflation and changes in prices on revenues and expenses to
date have not been significant.
  The impact of inflation in future periods may be offset, in part, by an
increase in revenues because the Partnership's land leases provide for
additional rent based upon increases in the revenues of the related operating
properties, which would tend to rise with inflation.  In addition, the
Partnership's wholly-owned apartment complex has leases which are short-term;
generally 6 to 12 months.  Rental rates on such leases could be adjusted to keep
pace with inflation, to the extent market conditions allow, as the leases turn
over.  Such increases in revenues would be expected to at least partially offset
the increases in Partnership and property operating expenses resulting from
inflation.

Exchange Act of 1934 requires the officers and directors of the Managing General
Partner, and persons who own more than ten percent of the Partnership's limited
partnership units, to file certain reports of ownership and changes in ownership
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Officers, directors and ten-
percent beneficial holders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the
Partnership with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

     Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, the
Partnership believes that, during the year ended August 31, 1995, all filing
requirements applicable to the officers and directors of the Managing General
Partner and ten-percent beneficial holders were complied with.

Item 11.  Executive Compensation

     The directors and officers of the Partnership's Managing General Partner
receive no current or proposed remuneration from the Partnership.

     The Partnership is required to pay certain fees to the Adviser, and the
General Partners are entitled to receive a share of cash distributions and a
share of profits and losses.  These items are described in Item 13. The 
Partnership has paid cash distributions to the Unitholders on a
quarterly basis at rates ranging from 5.35% to 6.5% per annum on remaining
invested capital over the past five years.  However, the Partnership's Units of
Limited Partnership Interest are not actively traded on any organized exchange,
and no efficient secondary market exists.  Accordingly, no accurate price
information is available for these Units.  Therefore, a presentation of
historical Unitholder total returns would not be meaningful.

Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

     (a)  The Partnership is a limited partnership issuing Units of Limited
Partnership Interest, not voting securities.  All the outstanding stock of the
Managing General Partner, Third Qualified Properties, Inc., is owned by
PaineWebber.  Properties Associates, the Associate General Partner, is a
Massachusetts general partnership, the general partners of which are also
officers of the Adviser and the Managing General Partner.  Properties Associates
was the Initial Limited Partner of the Partnership.  No limited partner is known
by the Partnership to own beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding interests
of the Partnership.

     (b)  Neither the directors and officers of the Managing General Partner nor
the general partners of the Associate General Partner individually own any Units
of Limited Partnership Interest of the Partnership.  No director or officer of
the Managing General Partner nor the general partners of the Associate General
Partner possess a right to acquire beneficial ownership of Units of Limited
Partnership Interest of the Partnership.

     (c)  There exists no arrangement, known to the Partnership, the operation
of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the
Partnership.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

     The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is Third Qualified
Properties, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PaineWebber Group Inc.
("PaineWebber").  The Associate General Partner is Properties Associates, a
Massachusetts general partnership, certain general partners of which are also
officers of the Adviser and the Managing General Partner.  Subject to the
Managing General Partner's overall authority, the business of the Partnership is
managed by the Adviser pursuant to an advisory contract.  The Adviser is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated ("PWI"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of PaineWebber.

     The General Partners, the Adviser and PWI receive fees and compensation
determined on an agreed-upon basis, in consideration of various services
performed in connection with the sale of the Units, the management of the
Partnership and the acquisition, management, financing and disposition of
Partnership investments.

     Distributable Cash, as defined, of the Partnership will be distributed 98%
to the Limited Partners, 1% to the General Partners and 1% to the Adviser as an
asset management fee.  Residual proceeds resulting from disposition of
Partnership investments will be distributed, generally, 85% to the Limited
Partners, 11.99% to the Adviser as an asset management fee and 3.01% to the
General Partners after the prior receipt by the Limited Partners of their
original capital contributions and a cumulative annual return of 10%-12%,
depending upon their date of admission into the Partnership, as defined in the
Amended Partnership Agreement.

     In connection with investing Partnership capital, the Adviser earned
acquisition fees, paid by both the borrowers and sellers and the Partnership,
aggregating not more than 3% of the gross proceeds of the offering.   
The Adviser received total acquisition fees of $1,073,820, of which $305,926
was paid by the Partnership.  The Adviser may receive a commission, in an
amount not yet determinable, upon the disposition of certain Partnership 
investments.

     Under the advisory contract, the Adviser has specific management
responsibilities to administer day-to-day operations of the Partnership and to
report periodically the performance of the Partnership to the General Partners.
The Adviser is paid a basic management fee (6% of adjusted cash flow distributed
to the partners) and an incentive management fee (2% of adjusted cash flow
distributed to the partners, subordinated to a noncumulative annual return to
the Limited Partners equal to 9% based upon their adjusted capital
contribution), in addition to the asset management fee described above for
services rendered.  Basic and asset management fees of $89,000 were earned for
the year ended August 31, 1995.  No incentive management fees have been earned
to date.

     All taxable income or tax loss (other than from a Capital Transaction) of
the Partnership will be allocated 98.989899% to the Limited Partners and
1.010101% to the General Partners.  Taxable income or tax loss arising from a
sale or refinancing of investment properties will be allocated to the Limited
Partners and the General Partners in proportion to the amounts of residual
proceeds to which they are entitled; provided that the General Partners shall be
allocated at least 1% of taxable income arising from a sale or refinancing.  If
there are no residual proceeds, tax loss or taxable income from a sale or
refinancing will be allocated 98.989899% to the Limited Partners and 1.010101%
to the General Partners.  Allocations of the Partnership's operations between
the General Partners and the Limited Partners for financial accounting purposes
have been made in conformity with the allocations of taxable income or tax loss.

     The Managing General Partner and the Adviser are reimbursed for their
direct expenses relating to the offering of Units, the administration of the
Partnership and the acquisition and operations of the Partnership's real
property investments.

     An affiliate of the Managing General Partner performs certain accounting,
tax preparation, securities law compliance and investor communications and
relations services for the Partnership.  The total costs incurred by this
affiliate in providing such services are allocated among several entities,
including the Partnership.  Included in general and administrative expenses for
the year ended August 31, 1995 is $178,000 representing reimbursements to this
affiliate for providing such services to the Partnership.

     The Partnership uses the services of Mitchell Hutchins Institutional
Investors, Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins") for the managing of cash assets.  Mitchell
Hutchins is a subsidiary of Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management, Inc., an
independently operated subsidiary of PaineWebber.  Mitchell Hutchins earned fees
of $4,000 (included in general and administrative expenses) during fiscal 1995
for managing the Partnership's cash assets.  Fees charged by Mitchell Hutchins
are based on a percentage of invested cash reserves which varies based on the
total amount of invested cash which Mitchell Hutchins manages on behalf of PWPI.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS




The Partners of
Paine Webber Qualified Plan Property Fund Three, LP:

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Paine Webber Qualified
Plan Property Fund Three, LP as of August 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements of income, changes in partners' capital and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended August 31, 1995.  Our audits also included
the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a).   These
financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedules based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Paine Webber Qualified Plan
Property Fund Three, LP at August 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
August 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly
in all material respects the information set forth therein.

1.General

     Paine Webber Qualified Plan Property Fund Three, LP (the "Partnership") is
a limited partnership organized pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware in
June 1983 for the purpose of investing in a diversified portfolio of existing
income-producing real properties through land purchase-leaseback transactions
and first mortgage loans.  The Partnership authorized the issuance of units (the
"Units") of Partnership interests, of which 35,794 (at $1,000 per Unit) were
subscribed and issued between October 14, 1983 and October 13, 1984.

     The Partnership originally owned land and made first mortgage loans secured
by buildings with respect to six operating investment properties.  To date, the
Partnership has sold or been prepaid on its investments with respect to three of
the original operating properties, including one during fiscal 1995.  As of
August 31, 1995, the Partnership's mortgage loan and land lease investments on
two of the original properties were still outstanding and the Partnership owned
one operating property directly as a result of foreclosing on a mortgage loan.
As discussed further in Notes 4 and 5, during fiscal 1995 the borrowers on both
of the remaining loan investments approached the Partnership regarding potential
prepayment transactions.  While there are no assurances that these borrowers
will be able to finance prepayment transactions in the near term, if such
transactions were to be completed the Partnership would be positioned for a
possible liquidation pending the disposition of the wholly-owned Westside Creek
Apartments, which is currently being marketed for sale.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Investment property held for sale represents an asset acquired by the
Partnership through foreclosure proceedings on a first mortgage loan.  The
Partnership's policy is to carry this asset at the lower of cost or estimated
fair value (net of selling expenses).  The Partnership's cost basis is equal to
the fair value of the asset at the date of foreclosure.  Declines in the
estimated fair value of the asset subsequent to foreclosure would be recorded
through the use of a valuation allowance.  Subsequent increases in the estimated
fair value of the asset would result in a reduction of the valuation allowance,
but not below zero.  All costs incurred to hold the asset are charged to expense
and no depreciation expense is recorded.

     The Partnership's investments in land subject to ground leases are carried
at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  The net realizable value of a
real estate investment held for long-term investment purposes is measured by the
recoverability of the investment through expected future cash flows on an
undiscounted basis, which may exceed the property's current market value.  The
net realizable value of a property held for sale approximates its current market
value.  None of the Partnership's land investments were held for sale as of
August 31, 1995 or 1994.  The Partnership has reviewed FAS No. 121 `Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed
Of', which is effective for financial statements for years beginning after
December 15, 1995, and believes this new pronouncement will not have a material
effect on the Partnership's financial statements.

     Mortgage loans receivable are carried at cost.  The Partnership's policy is
to provide for any valuation allowances for its mortgage loan investments on a
specific identification basis, principally by evaluating the market value of the
underlying collateral since the loans are collateral dependent.

     Deferred expenses consist of legal fees incurred in connection with the
organization of the Partnership and acquisition fees paid to PaineWebber
Properties Incorporated (the "Adviser") as compensation for analyzing,
structuring and negotiating the Partnership's real estate investments.  These
expenses are being amortized using the straight-line  method  over sixty-month
and twelve- to fifteen-year periods, respectively.

     For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Partnership considers all highly
liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash
equivalents.

     No provision for income taxes has been made as the liability for such taxes
is that of the partners rather than the Partnership.


3.The Partnership Agreement and Related Party Transactions

     The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is Third Qualified
Properties, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PaineWebber Group Inc.
("PaineWebber").  The Associate General Partner is Properties Associates, a
Massachusetts general partnership, certain general partners of which are also
officers of the Adviser and the Managing General Partner.  Subject to the
Managing General Partner's overall authority, the business of the Partnership is
managed by the Adviser pursuant to an advisory contract.  The Adviser is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated ("PWI"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of PaineWebber.

     The General Partners, the Adviser and PWI receive fees and compensation
determined on an agreed-upon basis, in consideration of various services
performed in connection with the sale of the Units, the management of the
Partnership and the acquisition, management, financing and disposition of
Partnership investments.

     Distributable Cash, as defined, of the Partnership will be distributed 98%
to the Limited Partners, 1% to the General Partners and 1% to the Adviser as an
asset management fee.  Residual proceeds resulting from disposition of
Partnership investments will be distributed, generally, 85% to the Limited
Partners, 11.99% to the Adviser as an asset management fee and 3.01% to the
General Partners after the prior receipt by the Limited Partners of their
original capital contributions and a cumulative annual return of 10%-12%,
depending upon their date of admission into the Partnership, as defined in the
Amended Partnership Agreement.

     In connection with investing Partnership capital, the Adviser earned
acquisition fees, paid by both the borrowers and sellers and the Partnership,
aggregating not more than 3% of the gross proceeds of the offering.   The
Adviser received total acquisition fees of $1,073,820, of which $305,926 was
paid by the Partnership.  The Adviser may receive a commission, in an amount not
yet determinable, upon the disposition of certain Partnership investments.


     Under the advisory contract, the Adviser has specific management
responsibilities to administer day-to-day operations of the Partnership and to
report periodically the performance of the Partnership to the General Partners.
The Adviser is paid a basic management fee (6% of adjusted cash flow distributed
to the partners) and an incentive management fee (2% of adjusted cash flow
distributed to the partners, subordinated to a noncumulative annual return to
the Limited Partners equal to 9% based upon their adjusted capital
contribution), in addition to the asset management fee described above for
services rendered.  Basic and asset management fees of $89,000, $90,000 and
$90,000 were earned for the years ended August 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.  No incentive management fees have been earned to date.  Accounts
payable - affiliates at August 31, 1995 and 1994 consists of management fees of
$18,000 and $19,000, respectively, payable to the Adviser.

     All taxable income or tax loss (other than from a Capital Transaction) of
the Partnership will be allocated 98.989899% to the Limited Partners and
1.010101% to the General Partners.  Taxable income or tax loss arising from a
sale or refinancing of investment properties will be allocated to the Limited
Partners and the General Partners in proportion to the amounts of residual
proceeds to which they are entitled; provided that the General Partners shall be
allocated at least 1% of taxable income arising from a sale or refinancing.  If
there are no residual proceeds, tax loss or taxable income from a sale or
refinancing will be allocated 98.989899% to the Limited Partners and 1.010101%
to the General Partners.  Allocations of the Partnership's operations between
the General Partners and the Limited Partners for financial accounting purposes
have been made in conformity with the allocations of taxable income or tax loss.

     The Managing General Partner and the Adviser are reimbursed for their
direct expenses relating to the offering of Units, the administration of the


Partnership and the acquisition and operations of the Partnership's real
property investments.

     Included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended August
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 is $178,000, $159,000 and $155,000, respectively,
representing reimbursements to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner for
providing certain financial, accounting and investor communication services to
the Partnership.

     The Partnership uses the services of Mitchell Hutchins Institutional
Investors, Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins") for the managing of cash assets.  Mitchell
Hutchins is a subsidiary of Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management, Inc., an
independently operated subsidiary of PaineWebber.  Mitchell Hutchins earned fees
of $4,000, $5,000, and $8,000 (included in general and administrative expenses)
during fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, for managing the Partnership's
cash assets.

4.Mortgage Loan and Land Investments

     The following first mortgage loans were outstanding at August 31, 1995 and
1994 (in thousands):

                                                                     Date of

                             $ 9,185     $ 9,185



     The loans are secured by first mortgages on the properties, the owner's
leasehold interest in the land and an assignment of all tenant leases, where
applicable.  Interest is payable monthly and the principal is due at maturity.

     In relation to the above-mentioned mortgage loans, the following land
purchase-leaseback transactions had also been entered into as of August 31, 1995
and 1994 (in thousands):


                                    Cost of Land
                                 to the Partnership             Annual
           Property               1995          1994           Base Rent

  Appletree Apartments          $   650         $  650         $ 72

  Woodcroft Shopping Center         500            500         $ 56
                                 $1,150         $1,150


     The land leases have terms of 40 years.  Among the provisions of the lease
agreements, the Partnership is entitled to additional rent based upon the gross
revenues in excess of a base amount, as defined.   For the years ended August
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, additional rents of $47,000, $33,000 and $36,000,
respectively, were earned from the Woodcroft Shopping Center investment.  The
lessees have the option to purchase the land for specified periods of time at a
price based on the fair market value, as defined, but not less than the original
cost to the Partnership.

     The objectives of the Partnership with respect to its mortgage loan and
land investments are to provide current income from fixed mortgage interest
payments and base land rents, then to provide increases to this current income
through participation in the annual revenues generated by the property as they
increase above a specified base amount.  In addition, the Partnership's
investments are structured to share in the appreciation in value of the
underlying real estate.  Accordingly, upon either sale, refinancing, maturity of
the mortgage or exercise of the option to repurchase the land, generally, the
Partnership will receive a 33% to 50% share of the appreciation above a
specified base amount.

     During the last quarter of fiscal 1995, the Partnership received notice
from the Appletree borrower of its intent to prepay the Partnership's mortgage
loan and repurchase the underlying land.  The amount to be received by the
Partnership as its share of the appreciation of the Appletree property has not
been agreed upon to date.  The terms of the Partnership's ground lease provide
for the possible resolution of disputes between the parties over  value issues
through an arbitration process.  Presently, the Partnership and the borrower
continue to try to resolve their differences regarding the value of the
property.  If an agreement cannot be reached, the borrower could force the
Partnership to submit to arbitration during fiscal 1996.  In addition to the
amount to be determined as the Partnership's share of the property's
appreciation under the ground lease, the terms of the Appletree mortgage loan
require a prepayment penalty which would be equal to 3.75% of the outstanding
principal balance of $4,850,000.  If completed, the proceeds of this transaction
would be distributed to the Limited Partners.  However, the transaction remains
contingent on, among other things, a resolution of the  value issue and the
borrower obtaining sufficient financing to repay its obligations to the
Partnership.  Accordingly, there are no assurances that this transaction will be
consummated.

     Subsequent to the end of fiscal 1995, the Partnership received notice from
the owner of the Woodcroft Shopping Center of its intent to repay the
Partnership's first mortgage loan and purchase the underlying land in
conjunction with a sale of the operating property to a third party.  The
proposed terms of the transaction would result in the full repayment of the
Partnership's mortgage loan of $4,335,000 and the receipt of $1,220,000 as
payment in full for obligations owing under the ground lease, representing the
repayment of the $500,000 ground investment and $720,000 as the Partnership's
share of the appreciation in value of the underlying  property.  The terms of
the Partnership's ground lease require that the Partnership agree with the
borrower's determination of value for purposes of calculating the Partnership's
share of the appreciation in value due under the lease before a sale of the land
can be completed.  Management believes that the amounts due to the Partnership
under the proposed terms reflect the fair market value of the underlying
property, as supported by the borrower's extensive marketing efforts which
resulted in the potential sale transaction and the Partnership's most recent
independent appraisal.  Accordingly, the Partnership has tentatively agreed to
the terms of this transaction.  However, the transaction remains contingent on,
among other things, the satisfactory completion of the buyer's due diligence and
the consummation of the sale transaction.  Consequently, there are no assurances
that this transaction will be completed.  If completed, the proceeds of this
transaction would be distributed to the Limited Partners.

5.Investment Property Held for Sale

     On March 23, 1989, the Partnership foreclosed under the terms of the
mortgage loan secured by Westside Creek Apartments due to nonpayment of the
required debt service.  The Adviser has employed a local management company to
operate the property on the Partnership's behalf.

     The Partnership complies with the guidelines set forth in the Statement of
Position entitled "Accounting for Foreclosed Assets," issued by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants, to account for its investment
properties acquired through foreclosures.  Under the Statement of Position, a
foreclosed asset is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value,
reduced by the estimated costs to sell the asset. Cost is defined as the fair
value of the asset at the date of the foreclosure.  Declines in the estimated
fair value of the asset subsequent to foreclosure are recorded through the use
of a valuation allowance.  Subsequent increases in the estimated fair value of
the asset result in a reduction in the valuation allowance, but not below zero.

     The Partnership recognizes income from the investment property held for
sale in the amount of the excess of the property's gross revenues over property
operating expenses (including capital improvement costs), taxes and insurance.
Summarized operating results for the years ended August 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993
are as follows (in thousands):


                                              1995        1994         1993

      Income from investment
        property held for sale               $  545       $ 551       $ 568


     During the quarter ended February 28, 1995, the Partnership executed a
purchase and sale agreement to sell the Westside Creek Apartments to an
unaffiliated third party for $6,775.000.  Subsequently, the prospective
purchaser, which is a national pension fund advisor, encountered internal tax
regulation compliance issues related to the sale which prevented the sale from
closing.  Accordingly, management has begun to actively remarket the property to
other potential buyers.  There are no assurances that a sale transaction will be
completed in the near future.  The Westside Creek investment was originally made
by the Partnership on July 1, 1985 and was structured as a ground lease and
first leasehold mortgage.  The total investment by the Partnership was comprised
of the land, purchased for $215,000, and a $4,635,000 mortgage loan secured by
the improvements.

6.Investment in Operating Property


     On February 20, 1990, an affiliate of the Partnership, which held the
mortgage and land lease on the Cordova Creek Apartments, foreclosed on the
property due to nonpayment of the required interest payments.  The Partnership
had held a 3.5% interest in the mortgage loan and land investments through an
agreement with this affiliate.  Subsequent to foreclosure, the Partnership
recorded its investment at the net combined carrying value of its previous
interest in the land and mortgage loan of $250,000.  The Partnership's
investment, which consisted of a 3.5% equity ownership in the operations and
eventual sales proceeds of the Cordova Creek property, was accounted for on the
cost method.  Accordingly, distributions which were received from the operations
of Cordova Creek were recorded as income when received, to the extent that they
represented current earnings.  The Partnership received distributions from the
current earnings of the Cordova Creek property totalling $24,000, $25,000 and
$21,000 in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Such amounts have been
recorded as other income on the Partnership's statements of income.

     The affiliate which held the majority ownership interest in the operating
property sold the Cordova Creek Apartments to an unaffiliated third party on
April 12, 1995.  The Partnership's share of the net sales proceeds was $311,000,
resulting in a $61,000 gain over the Partnership's cost basis of $250,000.  A
special distribution of $42 per original $1,000 investment, or $1,503,000,  was
made to Limited Partners on June 15, 1995, which represented $9 from Cordova
Creek net sales proceeds and $33 as a distribution from cash reserves which were
deemed to be in excess of the Partnership's expected future requirements.



7.Subsequent Events


     On October 13, 1995 the Partnership distributed $292,000 to the Limited
Partners, $3,000 to the General Partners and $3,000 to the Adviser as asset
management fees for the quarter ended August 31, 1995.

8.Contingencies

     The Partnership is involved in certain legal actions.  The Managing General
Partner believes these actions will be resolved without material adverse effect
on the Partnership's financial statements, taken as a whole.
