Splitting up your land isn’t as easy as you might think
AI summary
Subdividing property in NZ involves splitting land into smaller, saleable sections. While potentially lucrative, the process is complex and can cost $80,000 to $120,000 or more for a simple two-lot split.
The process requires a surveyor to manage council consent and lodge plans with Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) for new titles. It's crucial to assess profitability and consider adding covenants, or rules, to the new land before committing to the project.
