Maximise your block with house behind house developments

This development option is great if you have a large block and would like to retain the existing home and build behind for investment or other purposes, or you can demolish the existing and rebuild two brand new homes. As you already own the land, your investment risk is reduced greatly, and you can have peace of mind knowing that you are able to go through the development process in the comfort of your own home if you choose.

Subdividing your existing block and building a new home is generally a more straightforward project and process in regards to sourcing finance and getting through council approvals, it is also a great way of getting into property development.
