Thanks for the kind offer of your Book and well done after ten years to have it out in investors faces,As its a Right of Carriageway & there's a vehicle parked on it, you need proof. The best way to do this is get in a surveyor to locate the Right of Carriageway / easement & locate the offending vehicle. This way it documented. Willair got this part, so Kudos to you.
Thanks for the kind offer of your Book and well done after ten years to have it out in investors faces,
But as i have ordered your Book a few days ago and it will be here in the afternoon,maybe you could pass it on too some of the other people that have helped you,i'm looking foward to sitting down and reading the book..
Firstly, I'd try to determine what is within my rights and what isn't.
The man, if he isn't approachable, may have a wife who is.
I'd clearly identify myself, and show that I have sufficient authority to decide what goes on. So we may be able to talk - CEO to CEO.
Offer either he can talk, or we can get each other's lawyers to talk.
Talking points:
1. clearly acknowledge that he is not happy.
2. show understanding that he will not be happy that the vacant land behind him is gone.
3. also recognize there will be inconvenience and dust and noise.
4. Point out what happen over the next 18 months is up to him. I'm here not to talk to him but to tell him he has a choice where this is going to lead to. Tell him that the suburb is going to be different, but it is a "better" kind of different. If he succeeds in postponing the development, it is a matter of time before the place gets rezoned for even higher density living. Putting a new house behind his if anything is his best choice. He doesn't own the land, and if I can't build this, someone else with bigger lawyers would buy the land off me.
5. Point out with his cooperation, work will progress quickly and without drama, and the mess will be cleaned up and the street will be not much different again.
6. Reiterate that the land was always meant to be built on sometime, and the time has come.
I have skimmed it on a plane and it's sitting on my "detailed read" list right now. From what I have read I think it's probably better than Ron Forlee's books and may well be the best Australian book on property development currently available.
Perhaps the "teacher arrives when the student is ready", but where I'm at it's exactly what I was looking for.
Well done and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all.
I think it would be really helpful for our forumites (me included ) if you could work through in as much or more detail than your book covers a small development case study.
Things like how to estimate development and construction costs for back of envelope through to detailed feasibility study. Who, how and when to engage various consultants etc.
Again, well done Philip. From my reading so far your book is far better than most of the dross out there.
Hi Philip,
Where would be the best place to order the book online with an overseas delivery address?
Some of the websites i've found so far all have your book "out of stock"?
Cheers

Hey Thanks Philip. Will let you know what I think after reading it.
PS in case you’re wondering, this situation is real.

I am actually about to start building a new home on a block with a shared drive in the New Year.
I have met Boris next door three or four times now. He is in his 80's. The first time I took both my daughters and my dog and made sure he knew we were a family moving in next door. .........
Picked up a copy today Philip, looking forward to reading
