Sorry just noticed this old post. TO clarify - yes the setbacks from side do count towards the open space building % required? It appears the local design plan (which seems to be the DAP/Estate Design Guidelines you mentioned) is varied anyway... as speaking to Tano it appears that for a R 25...

Westminster, the contract attached a few posts back up (post #6 i think i referred to it) - the second last page or whatever has the local development plan's provisions... and the 4.5m rule from footpath to garage door is specified on there.... the garage also has to be 0.5 m behind the main...

That much for a larger 4x2? I guess that's the issue. I went into the discussions asking about costs of a similar sized 15 frontage vs the smaller12.5m lot and obviously the 15 m frontage worked out better. Like you said though if going with the 12.5m block perhaps you wouldnt even have to...

I might add - correct me if im wrong given this is a stage 1 subscriber release and not publicly advertised until next week... - But one thing my brother didn't like was qube didnt seem to have anythinf about it or going for the estate. Obviously stocklands calleya, satterlys heron park etc, all...

Crikey God hopes rates arent daylight robbery. Arent they merging with Shire of serpentine etc? Economies of scale? Tano - is that 180m2 inclusive of garage?? Including garage i was thinking of maximising space to 210-220 take depending on lot 16 vs 9... But obviously the fences and yard...

Hi Tano, Home now... thought id' reply to your post... probably have a few more hours before i have to plug back a decision to them, so hopefully you will see this before then! Aveling homes guy reckoned that new developments these days run the major easements that used to impede into...

Hi Tano, REplying to your other big msg currently in another post. My idea was perhaps get an offset loan out... chuck as much as i can close to 100k in it ( don't know if theres a restriction on how fast you can offset/repay off your loan - i plan to demolish it so this would be essential...

Tano.IM out now so will msg a further response when home but go with page 13. The page 22 where zoning is ia incorrect numbering. Go with the stage 1 plan numbering. Why no g3mill? I had a productive convo with a sales guy Brad at aveling which really struct me. ClAimed to be a designer for...

I might also add lot 9 is 12.5 m frontage but has identical sides. Lot 16 has one slightly longer side. Does this add much to building costs or lack of flexibility? Gemmill homes - the advice i got there was a smaller 375sqm block with the same living area would rent just as well as a 398 sqm...

Thanks Tano - some great advice. I am in a rush to get out to see the builders today so Will comment further when I have time. Currently the planning process still appears in draft approval with the council hence I cannot get any easements noted on the stage plans... I think the contract as...

Rep claimed none. By law would the council require the developers contract to state BAL or noise clauses due to fire or jandakot airport? Or are there cases of no such clauses and owners eventually finding the noise levels quite unsettlin? Do most people pay to get an independent expert for...

@ausprop - my feelings too. Saw 2 side by side houses for rent in piara waters.... wondering if this will flush out though... Interest rates are also on the trend down, not a great look for the economy (i take the counter cyclical view while investors are cheering at low rates). I can probably...

Hi guys... getting late...had to work overtime and call the real estate agent. Will reply the rest of your posts tomorrow.. but just wanted to say I got allocated a lot... at about 400 sqm. $295,000. I have until Sunday to decide. MTR you mentioned 250,000 to build, but I thought a basic 4 x...

@MTR: I understand the homework part. Nothing comes free/easy. I guess it's just needing to be pointed in the right direction. Somehow the first step is always really daunting.... I feel the same way when people are asking about shares and until I bring myself back down to earth to see things...

Sort of... my next question being new to property is I really wanted to get some good resources and insider knowledge as to 1) Best place to research for statistics, pricing, current rental prices 2) I'm not familiar with property and therefore basics such as whether a land and house package is...

Hi Aaron, Being new to property completely, what would you advise I look out for? There is a contract with the local development plan, zoning etc, but I'm completely lost where to start. If you have some links or guides on just understanding and knowing what questions to ask in terms of...

Hi guys, New, first time (no property owned). I'll be honest, I'm making a snap decision here and I know wiith any investment things take time, so I'll ask you to not judge on that forefront (I get it - I'd slap someone taking a similar plunge into shares). But really, I saw the realse for a...
