Hi Myf Maybe it depends if the carport/garage slab is attached to the main residence? Just brick pave the carport to be safe. We probably need a seperate thread for this discussion.

Ive seen people just use a car bay and put up some shade sails to be safe. Use an external colorbond shed so you can save yourself 4m2 instead of an internal store. I got DA approval for this in Midvale. Yes 2m setback (R codes) or more (depending on council) for primary street.

Double Garage (30-35m2) and store room (>=4m2) are included in site coverage. So if you have 88m2 to build then you have 58m2 of internal living space if single storey. Excl garage, 105sqm is the smallest i would build for a 3x2. If it was me then i would aim for 130sqm living/storeroom and...

Is this for a grouped dwelling (villa,townhouse) or multi dwelling (unit/apartment)? Plot ratio is used only for apartments The site coverage for a grouped dwelling includes the garage.

Include in your O&A contract that the sale is subject to a satisfactory soil test. Then order a quick Borehole Soil test for about $1200 to be sure. Else call them up and get some free advice about other existing soil reports in the area. Free advice is dangerous since one site can have clay but...

Midland and midvale are clay atleast 20k extra site works/slab/footings per lot

You will need to go two story for 3 townhouses on 699, otherwise you will end up with 2 normal and 1 very small townhouse ..... unless its a corner block Pretty close figures assuming the existing house is not asbestos and its a level block. Add in holding costs until you start generating...

What is the address? Thanks

No, your right. I assumed single story and margins will be tight. I will be looking for block sizes >650sqm in which i can battleaxe and put 1 house on the back whilst retaining the existing dwelling. These are getting hard to find and more expensive. Does anyone have any tips in what other...

If all goes well and i sell in a few years then there is a little profit. Land = 360k 3 dwellings = Roughly 550-600k to demolish existing and build = 1,000,000 after stamp duty (not incl holding costs, titles etc) Sell at 400k each (prob 380k after agents fees and discount) Profit =...

They recountered again at 362k and i pulled out the negoiations. Here are the problems 1)Zoning is proposed R60 in 2 years. Both the zoning and date are speculative guesses 2)They wanted a large deposit 3)they wanted a long settlement time 4)They wanted no conditions (pest or building...

They Counter offered at 365k firm and I countered them with a final offer at $359k. Just sending the paper work today. I have only ever done retain and build so speculating on rezoning and demolishing and attempting to squeeze 3 dwellings on 692sqm is making me nervous.

I put an offer of $356k but i was told this would not cut it (we will know tommorow afternoon). I prefer to retain front and build at rear but the idea of multi dwellings has me excited. Can you explain why its not a sure thing for multi dwellings if the zoning is correct? eg R60 on 698sqm

There were a few people at the house yesterday. Its in pretty bad shape. It looked ok from the pictures but that wood floor is actually lino and its peeling everywhere, the A/C does not work and it smells pretty bad. There was one offer put on it last night at close to the asking price that...

There is also a sewer easement running parallel on the rear boundary. Can anyone enlighten me on how this will affect building on the property?

9 one bedroom apartments look great. Is that a 830sqm block zoned R40? If i can get 6 one bed apartments on this 695sqm block then it will be worth it. I would need more car bays since its not near public transport. Update: Owner is overseas and gets back monday. 6 people are coming tommorow...

Thanks, but how did you figure out that house number 6 corresponds to 62 Pointer Way? Also, is there any point paying a premium for this R60 zoned house when i can only fit on 3 units on the site (same as R40) R60 = avg of 180 / 698 = 3. 87 houses. Even if i went multi dwelling with a plot...

If you could find the property on google maps then it's yours. I can't even find it using intra maps.

Thanks MTR Should I call her back tommorow and tell her I want to come to her office to put in a written offer or will verbal do? Shall I put in these 2 conditions 1)subject to finance by lender ... 2)subject to satisfactory pest and build report
