Hi, I recently (4 mos ago) bought a property investment in Frankston North.
investment. Being a single mother with single income a bit scared. Good size of block of land (706 sq)with house that have basic renovation inside which is currently tenanted (luckily.) This is my first attemp to this
I want to subdivide or make it as dual accupancy - build a simple 2-3 Br house at the back. Don't know how to start. I Have been given several step to do, bu still confused, scared who can i trust to do this.
The council gave me one land transfer/surveyor in the area and was given this quotations:
Scope of woprk : location of existing bldg, locations of tress, etc., then additional work as: asess adjoining bldgs, fences, solar traverse, street description etc.
Fee proposal: cost plus gst
Feaute Survey $1,100
Re-establishment survey $ 1,320
Site analysis $1,100
Town Planning $3,300
Landscape plan $660
2 Lot Subdivision $1,650

Plus other expense such as :
Town Planning applications $586
Architectural drafting plans $2,000 +gst
Subdivision application fee to council $526
South East Water $1000
Melbourne water $1,500
Title office lodging fee $700
Solicitors ( Unknown)

Does this sound ok (price and work involve wise).

If any builder, or anyone that can recommend , please let me know... I would really like to hear from anyone. or if your are in this sort of business, your advice is much appreciate.

Hi Rof,
Can I suggest you contact Brutal Art Bullding + Design at www.brutalart.com.au. They will do an initial look at what you want to do and do a brief feasability. I think they charge about $200 for this. A good and in expensive way to find out if you are on the right track.

$200 is very cheap for a feasibility study. Is it a full feasibility?

I have a guy I use in Chelsea who will do a feasibililty for $660 inc gst, many are $990.

He would get a preliminary drawing etc and meet you at the coucil to discuss the plan with coucil and get feedback and comments, then he can proceed with getting the plans and permits completed for you.

I use another lady who specialises in co -ordinating the sub division (which is mostly what you had written up there) she charges a management fee of $1000 to get everything done for you.

If you are happy to pay and outrsuorce rather than go it alone I am happy to pass on my contacts to you.
 
LPP, Thanks I will take that into considerations. Can you private message me the contact details. Also Is she local?
 
Its not a full feasibility as I understanding it but an initial asessment of whether a sub-division is possible and they suggest some possible configurations and indicative project costs. Good to save time and money before you spend too much effort on a project which may not work. Obviously they also do more comprehensive services as well.
