Could your Perth property be hiding a subdivision or small-scale development worth more than the home itself? Most owners have no idea what their block can really do.
In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Jarrad sits down with Anton Flynn from Subdivision Experts to reveal what's working in the Perth property development world right now.
They cover real subdivision strategies, smart retain-and-build plays, and the hidden options most Perth investors don’t know about.
The Perth property market is shifting fast. Build costs are up, investor numbers are down after the federal budget, and WA's R-Codes now open up new ways to add dwellings to a block.
That mix is creating a window of opportunity for owners and buyers who have the right info.
Tune in to discover:
✅How to spot hidden development potential in your Perth property
✅The subdivision strategies working right now
✅How WA R-Codes and planning concessions can unlock extra yield
✅Why prefab and framed homes are gaining ground in Perth
✅How to compare development options on the same site
✅The biggest mistakes Perth investors make with feasibility
✅How tax and entity structures shape your long-term result
✅Why more dwellings doesn't always mean more profit
