Don't Sell Yourself Short: Smart Strategies Against Developer Tactics
The property and development market is currently experiencing a surge in activity due to the introduction of NSW Housing Reforms this year, which are aimed at addressing the housing crisis.
The NSW Government Housing Reforms include rezoning of land across Sydney especially around train stations. Developers and their agents are knocking on property owner doors in those areas.
Case study
An investor owned a property in Epping and agreed to sell his property with the adjoining owner and split the proceeds 50:50. We analysed the properties and found the investor’s property was 47% of the combined land area but small differences in the shape of the two properties meant the investor’s property contributed 71% of the combined development floor space.
The 50:50 agreement with the adjoining owner would have meant the investor would have effectively given the adjoining owner an unintended gift of $6.5 million.
