there is a company called prebuilt…they make new homes however they were saying they were getting a market for secon hand homes. They comply to energy rating conditionds, I do believe.

This thread has prompted me to ask a question. If My partner has a mortg in thier name and I have never purchased a property before, am I still entitled to the $7000 first home owners if it is my PPOR? Apologies I cannot help with the initial question!

I would contact council.
I had a relative develop in the bush requiring road access and electricity and phone etc etc. They were lucky as they worked at the council and was able to obtain all basic cost structures from there – who you know etc. Make an appointment with a planner or project manager from the council which you learning related to. Good luck.

Would reccommend finding out about the neighbouring property owners (front and back and sides)- they could be a problem for the current seller. In addition have a look at what a block in the street behind is valued at, which effectively has the same distance from the beach, I would imagine they would/ should be the similar.
