Hi Barlow,

If you’re looking at sourcing your own property, make sure to undertake proper due diligence with regards to any limitations and constraints that may face the property. Understanding the development potential of your land will save you a lot of heartache and inform your investment decision.

You don’t want to buy a property intending to demolish and subdivide only to find out that you can’t demolish the existing buildings on site due to some form of character or heritage significance. Best to contact a local town planner or buyers agent who will double check everything for you (Zoning, Overlays, land constraints, etc.). Otherwise, you can find the information yourself from the council’s website.

Best of luck with your endeavours!
