A Beginner’s Guide to Residential Property Pevelopment
“Thinking of redeveloping your house block? You must read this book first!” Marcus Peters, Wilson Pride Real Estate, St Kilda.
- Nineteen short chapters detail the steps required for feasibility, planning and building approval, construction and sale.
- The contributions and advice required from the Real Estate Agents, Surveyor, Architect or Building Designer, Geologist, Demolition Company and Builder are explained with examples of schematics, plans and forms.
- Process, payment terms and timings are included.
- A key element in this guide is the CD containing three linked spreadsheets to allow rapid “what if” calculations.
- The spreadsheets also provide a very effective system for monitoring costs through the whole process including interest costs.
- There are two other spreadsheets – a template for assessing property values and a detailed calculator for negative gearing.
