What are peoples opinions on purchasing sites with DA approvals to construct townhouses or units? This would be purchased with the intention of building as per the DA.
Some concerns I would have is why is the vendor selling? There are however plenty of people out there who obtain DA's without any intention of building themselves.
Another concern is if the plans don't suit the demographics of the area or rooms are too small etc however this can be overcome via several phone calls to local agents.
There may also be issues such as connections to sewerage or stormwater runoff. These also could be overcome by talking to the architect and the civil engineer.
Are there any other potential issues to look out for relating directly to a DA approval? Does anyone have any recommendations of town planners in Brisbane who are able to assess the feasibility of a DA as part of their services?
Cheers
