Thanks Jamie.

By the look of it, I am going to miss out on this deal. It set on the market for two months before I made an offer.
Now the Agent is telling me that he will get tender on the land because there are multi offers and I need to submit my best and last offer to have a chance!!!

Thanks Waydo77 for the advise. I am planning to rent it out until that period. Hopefully I am doing it right.

@RamkiSydney, Thanks mate. I will let you know about the suburb soon :)

I am going to call Daryl tomorrow. I strolled for a while and didn’t do anything. But now I need to move quickly.

Hi Richard, can you please help me out with your accountant’s details please. I will call him/ her tomorrow as well.

Thanks again Andrew.
Now i have to find a town planner, drafty and an accountant.

I submitted an offer to buy a small development site today subject to 28 days finance.
So far I know that it’s LMR zone, not in flood area, got sewer and water connection.

I don’t have much time left :)

Thanks Andrew.
I have looked into these sites and they are very informative.
This will give me an idea to pick the sites with right zoning.

If I find a site that is a decent size i.e. 700 sqm; don’t have any heritage overlay for demolition, not in flood zone and if the numbers stacks up, is there anything else I need to consider before making an…[Read more]

Matt from MP Renderer: 0431 577 403 another english man. He recently rendered our house. Very prompt and firendly. Did a top job.

I would demolish the existing house and get plans and permits done. $50K
Find a builder that will charge $1200-1300 per sqm and build two 160 sqm town houses. $220000 each.
Plus land purchase cost.
Plus add 5% as a holding cost of the total project cost.

How much can you sell each town house for?
 

Hi Catalyst, thank you for the note. Total block size is 1400 sqm. So I think the side would be at least 450 sqm.
Is there anything else that can be done with the block that I am not seeing?
I am looking for options without demolishing the existing house.

Hi wilko, this is just one 400 sqm block in bushland. Subdivision has completed without any development.
This area is an extension on a established street with houses in it.

Hi Nigel

Thank you for the advise.
I am looking for small residential development.
I know a broker specialized in development.
I need to find a town planner and builder.

If I need to find out what I can or can't build on a block, is that a job for town planner?

With regards to 3 the developer would just be a company which will cease to exist once this project is completed. So this is unlikely to be effective even if they agree.

Hi TerryI got it. Can you advise the right wording or right approch? I am trying to get a positive outcome rather than getting legal advise from my solicitor.Thanks

Thanks Terry.

This is what I am going to email developer:

The developer didn’t mentioned about the drainage pipe before or during the settlement and was not mentioned in the survey plan or in any drawing that were given to us.
Developer contractor installed the drainage pipe after settlement without my approval.

I will agree on running the pipe…[Read more]

They called me asking for approval installing the pipe and next day they emailed me and the building informing that the pipe has installed. I didn’t approve it and no easement recorded.

Solicitor is going to review the contract to see if there is any clause that the developer can do this after handover. He is thinking it’s tresspassing.
