When to Develop?
Spacer
 
Interested in developing a single home on a strata title lot or a multi-unit development? 
Thinking of subdividing your block and building a new house behind your existing home?
 
BuildingWA.com.au spoke to Leo Callisto, Sales and Marketing Manager of apg, about the things you need to know to get started.
 
 
"It's important to know that the property development process is a lot more complicated than just building a home on a standard suburban block."

"Before you call the bobcat, it's vital to do your homework to ensure you maximise the success of your development."

First things first. How do you know when is the right time to develop or subdivide?

According to Leo, "It's never been a better time to consider property development. Subdivisions will become more and more common due to higher land prices and low vacancy rates within the rental markets. When you have strong demand for housing but are faced with lack of land supply and increased price of land, many Western Australians are turning to property development."
 
The Western Australian State Government is currently developing blueprints for future urban direction within the wider Perth metropolitan area. These plans are based on projections which show a huge growth in population as well as an increase in aged and single person households.

There are a number of different ways to subdivide your block. You need to decide which of these options best fit your situation.

  • Battleaxe: A division of the existing block, creating a rear property with side driveway access.

  • Side-by-side: A length-wise division allowing two homes to have street frontage.

  • Multi unit: House behind house, anything over two dwellings including triplex, quadruplex.

Next step is to bring in an expert.  Property development is not for the fainthearted.

"It can be easy to misinterpret Residential Planning Codes (R-Codes), and the variances between the town planning schemes of local authorities can be even more confusing", says Leo.  "A professional company will assess the viability of your project and then their design team can create the best possible development solution for your block".

When you lead a busy lifestyle, juggling work and family, the last thing you have time for is spending hours poring over confusing documents and worrying about the fine print. A specialised property developer can deal with the annoying red tape and push through your necessary permits and approvals.
