Werribbe, Geelong is Victoria’s hottest untapped area now with State Govt new vision. Cranbourne, Narre Warren are good too.

I can help you find development property around Melbourne , obtain permits at a competitive fee.

500K could get you started in Melbourne- the place to invest in.

Adding value is the best way to grow. Find a property with a big backyard where you can build one or more additional houses. Or find a corner site or one with a wide frontage where the local council may allow a side by side duplex. Its great fun as long as you know what to look for. Feel free to contact me direct or read the other posts on…[Read more]

Hi, I asume you are looking at property in the Melbourne area. If that is the case the SBO in simple term means there is a chance the site may flood. Usually that information was imposed by Melbourne Water and I have found local councils have their own SBO which unfortunately may not be on the Land CHANNEL MAP!!!

if there is a SBO it means the…[Read more]

Hi Laverton is good and if you are looking for a house with backyard, buy one which can be developed through a dual occupancy- you had value and get two incomes. Hobsons Bay Council will require you build before a subdivision permit is issued for separate titles. The same will not apply in St Albans(hot and untapped area for dual occs) or…[Read more]

Hi I have a lot of experience with Geelong Council and there is hardly a town planner there who does not know me. Feel fee to directly send the property addrss so that I can check the schedule to the zone. Usually Belmont requires more open space than some of the oter suburbs in Geelong. and thats why Belmont is desirable to home buyers.

Hi, Your 17m width is a great help for 2 units. The suburb and Council makes a difference. Would like to assist if your property is in Victoria.

Which state and city are you looking to demo and subdivide. Some Councils in Victoria may require a development application before you can subdivide and register the titles.
Generally allow at least 15K upwards for subdivision costs- driveways, utilities connections etc. Demolition costs can vary again depending on building materials deployed.…[Read more]

I love the South Coast- from Stanwell Park all the way down! I guess the financier needs a high level of comfort for some developments but 20% is a reasonable margin in Melbourne. Thanks for reading my post.

That is good news.If you need any help feel free to contact.

look for a property you can add value to- like dual occ or triple occ to ensure positive cashflow. Werribee, Geelong are good areas for high rental returns.

Another way of going about it is for the house plans being designed as a preliminary first, and get builder and building surveyor involved as early as practical best from post RFI stage.

My prices are not in the post. Its simply advising that writer that whoever is proposing to charge $100K is a high fee and I offered to do a site analysis first at no cost to ascertian what can be built on the writers property in Croydon , Victoria. so that he is on course.
My town planning fees is fixed for design and management at Council. I…[Read more]

100K is a huge bill! there wont be any profit left for you. Croydon is Yarra Ranges Council or are you in Maroondah. Each council has its own set of guidelines when it comes to approving a planning application for medium density. If the site has a veg overlay or a SLO you need to be mindful of trees. your site looks solveable. get a free opinion…[Read more]
