Property development is an increasingly popular strategy for accelerating your investment returns.
Instead of waiting years—or even decades—for natural capital growth, development allows you to manufacture equity and boost your property’s value within a shorter time frame.
Our buyers agents specialise in sourcing properties with genuine dual occupancy potential, giving our clients a head start on creating higher returns and building long-term wealth.
Single Unit Development Sites
We help clients secure existing dwellings that can generate rental income while you work through the planning and development stages. This approach helps offset holding costs, increases your borrowing power, and provides useful tax benefits along the way.
Every client’s strategy is different. Some want renovation opportunities to add value quickly, while others prefer a turnkey property that’s ready to rent with no extra work. Many investors also choose to buy development-ready land and hold it as a land banking strategy for future growth.
Our buyers agents handle the entire scope of your project—from finding the right site to ensuring it aligns with your long-term goals—so you can move forward with confidence.
Double & Triple Unit Development Sites.
These types of sites are highly sought after by developers and investors because they maximise land use, generate multiple rental income streams, and give you the option to sell each dwelling separately for profit.
The types of properties we target include:
Existing homes that can generate rental income while you work through the planning and approval process
Vacant blocks of land ready for new builds
Inner-city properties suitable for demolition and redevelopment
Our buyers agents help you avoid costly setbacks by ensuring you purchase the right property from the start—one that aligns with council requirements and has real development potential.
With hands-on experience from completing numerous projects themselves, our team understands the complexities and pitfalls that can come with multi-dwelling developments.
These projects often carry hidden costs that can eat into your profits. Our expertise helps you navigate these risks, avoid expensive mistakes, and maximise your return.
To date, we’ve helped clients successfully subdivide and develop multi-dwelling properties across Melbourne.
Our team includes an experienced Property Surveyor, a registered Multi-Development Builder, and qualified Real Estate Agents—giving you access to a complete network of professionals to guide your project from start to finish.
Our buyers agents help you minimise risk and maximise profit with expert guidance
Once you’ve completed due diligence on your chosen property, the next step is to submit an offer to the selling agent and begin negotiations. Your buyer’s agent manages this process on your behalf, negotiating key terms such as making the offer subject to building and pest inspections, agreeing on a final price, and ensuring everything is formalised in a written contract.
Negotiating by private treaty can take several days of back-and-forth, especially if other buyers are competing for the same property. An experienced buyer’s agent knows how to structure contract conditions and use timing to your advantage—helping you secure the best possible deal and stand out in a competitive market.
Buying at Auction
If the seller is open to pre-auction offers and market conditions are right, your buyer’s agent can submit an offer before auction day. If accepted, the purchase proceeds similarly to a private sale.
When a property goes to auction, your buyer’s agent will prepare a bidding strategy tailored to your budget and the level of competition. Their goal is to secure the property on the best possible terms while protecting your interests and ensuring you don’t overpay.
Once we purchase your property and your architect is working on the planning process, we can assist in finding tenants and overseeing the management of your property.

The estimated time frame for the entire process—from obtaining the surveyor involved to receiving council certification—ranges from a minimum of 9 months to an average of 12 to 18 months.
Subdividing land in Australia can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $40,000. These costs typically include council application fees, surveyor’s fees, and civil works. The total expense varies depending on the size and scale of the subdivision, and you may also need to budget for a home loan to finance it.
In Victoria, a plan of subdivision must be approved by your local council’s planning department. They’re responsible for assessing the technical details of your plan, including zoning compliance, overlays, easements, and service connections.
The process of subdividing a block of land involves four key steps:
(1) assessing whether the land is eligible for subdivision,
(2) obtaining necessary permits and preparing the proposed plan,
(3) securing council approval, and
(4) creating the new titles.
