A first look at yield
Size, frontage, zoning and nearby approvals give a first read.
Development sites
Is your block worth more to a developer?
New Victorian rules make more suburban blocks developable. Builders may pay more than families.
What makes it hard
You are not the only one
- Not knowing if your block suits townhouses.
- Developers knocking with low offers.
- Sell as is, or get a permit first?
- Planning jargon.
How we help
Options first, then a plan
Sell as is or permit first
A permit can add value but costs time and money. We compare both.
Reaching the right buyers
Marketed to builders as well as families, so you see the real top price.
Before we talk
Useful to have handy
- Your address and land size
- Any title restrictions or covenants you know of
- Any offers or letters you have received from developers
Questions
What owners ask us
How do I know if my block is a development site?
Zoning, size, frontage, slope, easements and covenants. We take a first look; a town planner confirms.
Should I get a planning permit before selling?
Sometimes. It can lift the price but takes months and costs money.
