Hi all,
The project I am looking to undertake is as follows, and would love some feedback from those who have done the same or similar jobs.
We have an existing block of land with an old house in Adelaide. The block measures 16.38m x 45.34m = 742.8sqm, and is in the Port Adelaide/Enfield Council region. We are looking to subdivide right down the middle, and know this should be OK as a sales person at Homestead Homes is doing the same thing (identical sized block, same council area).
I have just received a quote from the "Consultancy Firm" as follows;
Lands Titles Office : $1,280 (lodge of 2x new titles, inc RTU or RTC)
DA Commission : $1,017 (application)
DA Commission : $4,125 (open space reserve fund) !!!?
SA Water : $2,890 (water)
SA Water : $5,231 (sewer)
Consultancy Firm : $4,290 (planning consultancy, surveying, & legal documentation)
Consultancy Firm : $2,220 (for project management of the above)
Total : $21,053
Being that we are currently living in NSW, I'm not sure I can really get out of paying the "Consultancy Firm" the money they're after to take care of it all for me. (Any ideas anyone?).
Other than that, does the rest "seem" about right for a simple 1 to 2 subdivision? The block is straight and level, pretty simple I would have thought.
The consultancy firm also believes it would be about $10K for demolition costs.
Just after anyone else's experience with this topic for reference.
Thanks,
Andrew.
