SUBDIVISION
Overview
​
We team up with property owners properties which are capable of having the land
sub-divided, most of the time these properties have existing houses on them. Sometimes the houses are lifted and moved, but more often the house remains in the same position and a portion of the yard is divided off which can be sold separately.
Common Questions We Will Research and Answer
​
-
Does the zoning and other council overlays allow What is the land size, what slope exists on the land
-
Is there any flood risk
-
Where can stormwater run to and where can other services be run from
-
Does the existing house need to be moved to allow for sub-division
-
Are there any trees may be in the way and not able to be removed
-
Do any power-poles, bus stops, Telstra pits or electrical boxes cause access issue
-
Is any retaining and/or cut and fill needed
-
Is there potential to amalgamate with neighbouring properties to maximise sub-division potential

CASE STUDY
“My brother and I are both very thankful for the assistance they provided us to help our mother sell off an unused portion of her land. This allowed the funds for us to modify Mum’s home and hire a carer to visit regularly, meaning we didn’t need to move her in to a retirement home.
​
Thank you Brendan and Nigel!”
Dorothy had been living in the home which she and her husband built back in the 1940’s. She loved living there as it was within closet proximity to her doctor, hairdresser, local shop and all her friends. She had been in the home on her own since losing her husband in the early 2000’s and managing well up until about 5 years ago.
​
Her kids reached out to us to explore the possibility of sub-dividing off half of her block to then sell. The funds from the sale would allow them to modify the current house to make it more accessible for Dorothy as she got older.
​
We researched the options and identified a certain zoning law which allowed us to subdivide off part of her backyard. The $380,000 sale from this sub-divided block provided the funds needed to convert Dorothy’s current house to a dual living set-up; allowing a live-in carer to reside upstairs and installing the appropriate accommodation modifications for Dorothy downstairs.
