    There has been a nice large 809m block near me as vacant land for some years now and I thought i would do an RPDATA search and I discovered it was owned by the Dept of Housing and has been since 98. The block is in a great position and the area is just starting to pick up so I am thinking it will be a nice little block to build a house on and on sell down the track. I was just wondering if anyone has gone about approaching the Dept of housing to buy a house or land that wasnt on the market.

    Cheers

    Hi EZN,

    Im on SA and Housing SA (Govn agency) as it is known here tend to work in circles in my opinion. I am in the same boat. You contact the Govn agency, they say they dont know and send you to the Council… Council say they dont know and put you onto the real estate agents and they put you back onto the Govn Agency!! Confused??

    Im not the most experienced person here by any means, but I have found that if you put your name down with the Real Estate Agents acting on behalf of Govn Agency, they generally contact you when sales of land are approaching.

    From my experience they land parcels are large and swallowed by developers, but no harm in trying, right??!

    Best of luck!
