ok so i went to the local council and learnt a few things, firstly i need to finds a draftperson to design me a unit. Secondly, the lady at the desk told me that the council is currentl rejecting and applications for double story units in back yards, which is a shame because thats what i was planning. In regards to design and costs, id imagine the architect would be able to give me a good indication of where im at and what i can do.

Now to find a designer that has worked in my area!

cheers[thumbsupanim]

yep understood but how does the tax office determine who is a property trader and regular developer ?

i dont like paying tax so i would try and save that tax money

maybe this is a silly question ?[blush2][blush2]

montrose sent you an email and pm hear from you soon. what about im not too sure, but curious

hmmm thats an option i have thought of but i always seem to stumble when i think about selling the property. I seem to think of the longer term advantage of having the property, and not the fast money of selling.
Id much prefer to borrow against the property and use that money to reinvest.

maybe im just being silly but thats just the way i see it .

your post was helpful dirtcheap
thankyou
