Well..
Went to the council and found out the front must be at least 17 mtrs wide (5 metres driveway plus 12 metres) and the back 12 metres wide, to get another house at back.
The driveway must be at least 5 metres wide from the roof gutter to the fence.
The DA application is just over $300 with the money adding up after that with the plans, building aps, inspections and so on.
We took out the tape..
We can do the 17 at the front, just miss the 12 at the back, miss the driveway by 1 metre and they say we can still put in the app but 99.99% it will be rejected.
So, the upshot of this is..
We are left with a house and no options.
A realtor told us the market around this area has really really quickly dropped, 2 of his sales crew are about to quit.The house he got a buyer for $420k next door to us a month ago, would maybe not get to the $400k now with it taking maybe up to 8 weeks instead of the 3 or so a few weeks ago. Buyers are just not around as much!
Also he said, the next door guys will need 1500sq mtrs to build 5 units and while they may have hoped for 8, they will not get them. They only have about 1450.
The council also had no record of their plans as yet..
This area seems to have struggled getting the prices to rise at the rate of most other areas, I guess due to many new areas opening up with new homes everywhere. We learnt last week 90,000 homes going to Bringelly within 7 years, 7,000 to Hoxton Park airport in 7 years, 8,000 at Leppington and 2,000 behind Flowerpower near Milperra Bridge. Talk about supply!!!
Yes Coffs looks great.. so does Coolangatta, but we have to be in this rat hole of Sydney, you know kids, work, friends.
Still looking around Glenwood in the Blue Mtns, just hope prices drop there like they are here.
Yes, I’d like to hear responses to my ramblings..
Thanks all!
at least we are healthy.. so far!!Well..
