Hi,
Subdividing residential property is an interesting and profitable area of real estate in Australia.
My questions is this ….Lets say I buy a residential property lodge all the forms and pay the fees and the council comes back to me and approves my
subdivision proposal on the following conditions …$15,000 approval fee
$15,000 worth of headworks chargesThen say theres an extra $2000 worth of surveys fees and trivial charges.
Total fictitious cost $32,000
Lets say for example that the property is a block of land worth $200,000 but after subdivision it will be two lots worth $160000 each.
Lets also say that I purchased the land on credit and I put in a $40,000 deposit and borrowed $160,000 so theres no equity in the land.
Can I go to the bank with the approval from the council and quotes for the $32000 worth of costs and borrow that money ?.
How do bank view these kind of deals ?
Thanks,
Mark.
I would also be interested to find out about this.
Hi guys
Regret to say no you cant borrow against soft costs.
There is the loan is being done on a residential basis you need to be a wee bit careful on how you structure the deal from day 1.
Cheers
