Means that there is a 3 storey or overheight building next door.

or is more than 10m from any lot containing a dwelling house.  On bigger lots you can go to 3 storey in the middle when you are more than 10m form the boundary of a house.

It would be not good if the planners put it in plain english, they would be out of a job.

Absolutely.

Had a Brisbane Solicitor on the other side who did not know of proposed lot or off the plan sales for land and told his client it must be dodgy and to not touch it.  Many solictiro's know 2/3rds of stuff all about property.

Hi DaOne

I would go with Terry W,  he knows his stuff.  Is Sydney based.

I figured as much.

I think I should add in my signature  "big phone, bigger fingers" .  Even on a phablet they are still bad for typing on.

To Get DA Approval probably an extra $200 if my drafty can draw it off mapping systems into 2  lots, a bit more for more lots.

If you it is a large subdivision or you have hyrdological or ecological issues, noise or traffic etc, then you need those reports up front

Post approval you will need

Hi

Lawyers are the first point of call, they will assist in setting up your whole structure.  Accountants are not legally allowed to do this and are not covered by their insurance for doing this.  Many however do.

While many Accountants will not like what I say below, I am just stating the technical legal position.  The intention of the…[Read more]

Vendor finance in rural areas is very common

We are anticipating being ready to open on 18 March.

Our prices are same across the state.

Reconfig is $2200 plus GST for up to 3 lots $500 per lot over that.

Mackay RC app  fees are approx $2000 for up to 2 lots and $900 per lot over that.

Hi Richard

I am sure that I can speak for Terry also when I say thanks for the triple recommendation.

Are you having the same problems as I do, big fingers, little phone.

You need a 3 way relationship that works.

accountant 
lawyer
mortgage

And you don't want any of the 3 to be a weak link.

Letters after your name do not mean squat, look I have a huge collection  BApp Sci BEd GDLP LLM Juris Doctor.  Does that mean I know what I am doing? What about if I did all those quals straight out of school and had never…[Read more]

Absolutely 1st Question

Do you invest personally in property.

Many accountants know nothing about property investment, if you find one who actually does it they are going to be all over it.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi

If you just have something quick ask and I will see if I can help or if my CQ guy can

I have a CQ office opening in the next week but guy is still moving at present. 

I would talk to a broker

before, during after

all the time.  Especially if they are outstanding like the ones on here.

NRAS can be great.  NRAS can be terrible.  If the only thing going for a property is NRAS then it will probably turn out to be the latter at some stage.  

Hi Just Jess

Our Sunshine Coast Office has a planner that just does Morteon Bay Regional Council.  

Some things to bear in mind.

You may have to build a road, mains sewer, water and drainage for that number of lots, you may not also, depends on lot layouts and size, access to streets etc.

Town Planners fees are $2200 plus $500 per lot over…[Read more]

From the perspective of someone who does civil litigation, buying in your own name is as dangerous, if not more so, then as not insuring you house against it burning down.  

The flexibility a trust provides for distribution of capital gain on sale should also not be discounted.

BUT there are other perspectives you need to take, which is why it…[Read more]

Asset Protection is a question for your Lawyer, Accountants are not supposed to give such legal advice.  Ideally it should be done in conjunction with 3 people

1. Finance Broker
2. Lawyer
3. Accounantant 

(not necc in that order)

Discretionary Trusts are definitely flexible, but if in NSW is that flexibility worth the extra land tax bill (normally no)

I do not like own name for ownership, accessing negative gearing can be a big bonus though.  See a lawyer and an accountant and a mortgage broker.  Costs some but, as long as they are good, pays for itself and pales in…[Read more]
