What we assess on site

  • Building fabric — structure, materials, condition
  • Site orientation, slope, access and drainage
  • Planning controls — zoning, FSR, height limits, setbacks
  • Heritage status and any overlay constraints
  • Potential for extensions, second storeys or granny flats
  • Realistic scope for the renovation you have in mind
  • Rough cost indication for the work envisaged

What you get

After the visit you'll have a clear picture of the property's potential and its limitations. We'll tell you honestly if the renovation you're imagining is achievable, and flag anything that might surprise you after purchase.

This is also a good opportunity to ask any questions about the design and approval process — what's involved, how long it takes, and what it typically costs.
