I have an investment property which I intend to develop by demolishing the existing house and building 3 new units on the site.
The existing house/land is mortgaged to (by?) a bank.
To minimise borrowing costs I will be demolishing the existing house, subdividing the land and obtaining titles for the subdivided blocks prior to applying for finance (with the same bank) to construct the new units.
My questions are;
Do I need to get the permission of the bank holding the current mortgage in order to to;
a) Demolish the existing property (As the existing house/land has been offered to the bank as security for the existing loan)
b) Re-title the land into three subdivided blocks?
At what stage would the bank usually get involved?
Thanks for your help
