Subdivide or Develop
Fund the DA and build.
For homeowners with a large block in the right location, subdivision or small-scale development can unlock significant value — but the funding flow is more complex than a normal refinance. Development finance often has staged drawdowns, different LVR rules and construction contingencies.
Things to consider
- Council development approval (DA) is a project of its own — costs, timing and complexity vary hugely by council.
- Development-grade lending is a specialist product — not every retail lender does it well.
- Cost overruns are the norm rather than the exception; budget a proper contingency.
- Get accountant advice on GST and CGT implications of subdivision and sale before committing.
