Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Adelaide - Info/help needed for my sub-division process 22Feb 05, 2011 2:49 pm Agree with everything everyone has said but would also like to add that after the subdivision, to change the name on the title from the current owners to your name there is also a tax payable on that. Not sure how much exactly or how it is worked out, but I discussed this with a conveyancer and he told me "a few thousand". Keep in mind that not all accountants have experience with these sort of matters so make sure any accountant you do speak to has experience in this area. (I was telling mine stuff he didnt know, which is a worry) Budget approximately $20k for the subdivision but keep in mind there can be unexpected costs. A simple sewer extention might cost you $15k not initially budgeted for. There are companies here in SA which can help with the subdivision process, just do a quick internet search. They charge a small fee for their services but totally worth it. Good luck! Re: Adelaide - Info/help needed for my sub-division process 23Feb 06, 2011 11:32 am Wow! So many little bits and pieces, costs etc. to take into consideration... Plus more and more taxes... I thought it was a relatively simple process because you see so many sub-divisions around the place all the time. I was looking at the SA Water website and couldn't believe that basically half of the money involved in sub-dividing was for water purposes, approx. $10k... Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated. I will definately get some professional help to aid in this process.
