Sell Your Backyard

You can access cash from your property by selling your backyard, without having to mortgage or sell your own home.

Why should you sell your backyard?

Many homeowners today are faced with

  • Rising cost of living
  • Home maintenance and council rates costs
  • Reduced income and retirement savings

So why not unlock the potential wealth in your unused backyard and put cash in the bank?

Our team of experts will take care of:

  • All the project costs
  • Legal and council requirements
  • Subdivision design
  • Fencing and landscaping
  • Sale of the land

We will ensure the project is stress free for you, while we take care of every subdivision requirement from start to finish. Subdivisions generally will take up to 6 to 9 months; this is dependent on the local council process.

 

Does my property fit the criteria?

Within Brisbane City Council zone, the criteria to subdivide a backyard is:

  • 800m² to 1000m² or larger property
  • 15m – 20m street frontage
  • Location of existing home on the property

For other councils refer to the relevant city plan or phone us for more information.

We can assess your property free of charge to see how a new home may best fit on the land.
