Proposals

Option 1: Two Lot Subdivision: It is proposed that the site is to be subdivided into two
separate lots, each having approximate areas of 275m2 and 240m2 respectively (refer
Proposed Subdivision Plan on page 7). Proposed Lot 1 to be created around the existing house;
proposed Lot 2 to be created on the southern portion of the existing parent lot, which will be
vacant. After completion of the subdivision and the issue of separate titles we propose either
selling the newly created lot or constructing a dwelling on the lot to be sold or rented.

Option 2: Three Lot Subdivision: It is proposed that the site is to be subdivided into three
separate lots, each having approximate areas of 275m2, 105m2 and 110m2 respectively (refer
Proposed Subdivision Plan on page 10). Proposed Lot 1 to be created around the existing
house; proposed Lots 2 and 3 to be created on the southern portion of the existing parent lot,
which will be vacant. After completion of the subdivision and the issue of separate titles we
propose either selling the newly created lots or constructing dwellings on the lots to be sold
or rented, or a combination of each.

Option 3: Five Lot Subdivision: It is proposed that the site is to be subdivided into five separate
lots, ranging from 90m2 to 110m2 (refer Proposed Subdivision Plan on page 13). All proposed
lots to be created as vacant lots. After completion of the subdivision and the issue of separate
titles we propose either selling the newly created lots or constructing a block of townhouses
on the lots to be sold or rented, or a combination of each.

What are the Benefits of Working with We Subdivide?

Our Clients Only Deal with Us


You only have to deal with one company throughout the entire process – We Subdivide! We can
manage the entire process from subdivision concept through to separate titles and build you a new
home if that’s the plan. Of course we will keep you up to date on progress, but sit back and relax, We
Subdivide has everything covered.

Dedicated Sales
We have partnered with Wallace and Stratton Real Estate in Auckland so we can sell your newly
created land through a house and land package or as a finished build.

Knowledge Base
We have established relationships with architects, planners, surveyors, engineers, land development
specialists and construction companies. The result is an efficient process.

Minimise Financial Risk


If you want to cash out we will market your new lot as soon as subdivision resource consent has been
approved. We will work hard to get an unconditional agreement in place with a buyer subject to
separate titles being issued. This helps with keeping your bank manager happy and your stress levels
to a minimum.

Trust and Confidence


We work for our clients. Simple as that. We see our job is to maximize the return and minimize the
expense incurred. If we can save you money along the way, fantastic – that’s more in your pocket.

Tailored Package
Your property is your most valuable asset and we appreciate that. In most cases you only have one
chance to capitalise on the land you hold. We will sit down with you before you commit and gain a
real understanding of what you want to achieve by subdividing your property. We will then formulate
a specific plan and timeframe to best achieve your goals. Regardless of the end goal you will maintain
control over what happens on your land from the subdivision plan to the proposed new build.

Transparent Policy
We will agree a fixed fee for us to facilitate the subdivision for you. All contractors and consultants
required throughout will be quoted and agreed upon prior to any work being commenced. After
completion of each contract the invoice will be sent direct to you for payment.

Next Steps…

If you are comfortable with the findings in this feasibility report and working with We Subdivide then
the next steps will be:

▪ Select the option that will best achieve your goals so we can tailor a package specific to you.

▪ Project funding. Subdivisions are a significant investment. We work closely with a number of
registered financial brokers and banks who would be happy to sit down with you discuss how the
subdivision will be funded and ways of structuring a loan if required.

▪ Talk to an accountant. There are often tax implications when profiting from subdividing. We would
recommend getting advice from a chartered accountant prior to starting so you have a clear
understanding of your financial obligations moving forward.

▪ After the above issues have been resolved and you are comfortable with subdividing, the next stage
would be to formally engage us to manage the subdivision project for you. We would then arrange
a formal pre-application meeting with a planner and development engineer at the relevant council
to talk through the proposal. Following this meeting we will be able to gauge whether council will
support our subdivision proposal. It will also raise any issues that may occur so we will be in a better
position to be able to overcome and mitigate these issues.

▪ The next steps will be preparing to apply for subdivision resource consent. This typically involves a
survey and scheme plan, geotechnical investigation, CCTV inspection of services, engineering
report and resource consent report.
