But if the house was an investment prior to demolishing and after completion, does that not prove it to be an IP. In a nut shell, if you were to knockdown an IP and rebuild and rent it again, it still remains an IP.

TO explain this better, lets take this scenario PPOR bought in 2009 - Rented out to family member in Feb 2011 ( monthly basis) for 2 months. ( PPOR to IP) Get valuations done, Convenacyor reports, rental appraisal, hand-wrriten reciepts ( Cash) In a nut shell prove it to be an IP Knock...

Toony Appreciate you sharing ur circumstances. But at the moment I am really unsure whats lifestyle would townhouse give as oppose to a house on a full block of land. Yes I know it'll increase my mortgage but i guess I'm still not over-capitalising if i build a new house

The house structure has underpinning issues. We cannot slide the house as if & when we plan to build townhouses, it'll be side-by-side. The dimensions of the land are 15.5 X 38.5. Can you suggest another option ;->

Me and my wife are confused whether to Build a house now or 2 townhouses.

all, thanks for your inputs/suggestions. After 7 long months of fighting with the council, i have managed to gain permit to knock down the tree. It took buy-in from neighbours, insurance, health and safety related issues on the letter etc to finally get a permit.... i am very very...

My question is what if the value does not come out to be $750K+. What are my options.

I am getting an arborist report too. I was told by people who applied in the past to Kingston Council that they take it seriously, if it's ruining your relationships with friends, families & neighbours and that if they are supportive of the fact that tree is an obstacle, include that in that the...

I love the suburb and would love to stay here for a very long time. The tree is rotten and i'm not too sure how many admirers would I find. It's not taking over my life.... i'm drafting the letter in a way that it comes out like it is eating a lot of time in my life.
