I live in Sydney, I guess it’s just easier for me to start from NSW. It will have too much travel cost if I am investing in other states plus I won’t know the areas as well.

Hi Jasmind,

The council is not going to commit to anything without plans being submitted.

But what you can do is ask the bulider to go to the property and check to see if the house can be build on to the land. (To win your business they often do that for free)The architect can also do minor mods to the plans to suit the land size and shape as well.

I see, I didn’t know that. That’s a lot better than a residential property.

Thank you everyone for your input.

Hi Paul,

Not that much. From memory it was only about $1200 or so. My main concerns are vendor tax and CGT hence I am investigating whether wrapping could be an alternative.
