Everyone wants to know how they can get the most out of their property when looking to sell. Whether it is doing up their house really nicely, adding in some new features like a pool or even totally remodelling, there are many ways you can add value to your property. However, there are also ways to add value to your property with much less work. These are especially useful for properties on the larger side, which can make a whole lot of money through a process called subdivision.

What Is Subdivision?

Subdivision is a method of turning one big piece of land into several, smaller pieces of land. Essentially you are dividing up your property into a multitude of smaller properties. This is a little more complex than it might seem at first, and there is a lot more that goes into it than just deciding you want to split up your property. That is why you should always find a land surveyor to help guide you through the intricacies and help you file the correct paperwork so that it goes as quickly as possible. 

What Does A Land Surveyor Do?

A land surveyor is an expert in all things property and property development. Subdivsion is a major part of their work, and they are great at:

  • Applying to the correct departments
  • Meeting local and state regulations for subdivision
  • Filling the forms out correctly and duplicating them to the required amount (yes, you do need to duplicate paperwork!) 
  • Formatting the subdivision so that the property sizes are correct going forward
  • Meeting any challenges that might occur and forging the correct path forward

All in all, a land surveyor is perhaps the most important person to contact when you are looking to subdivide your property. Without them, it becomes an almost herculean task, and it is simply not worth it.

Why Should You Subdivide Your Property?

Subdivision is a growing trend in Australia because more and more property developments are being sought after by apartment and real estate developers. As the population grows, the need for space does too, and the only way to fit more people into the already-bustling landscape is to subdivide property and make it more accessible for everyone. Through subdivision, you can make the same piece of land become worth tens of thousands of dollars more. In some cases, the financial benefit is even greater, and people have made millions due to subdivision.
