Splitting up your land isn’t as easy as you might think
AI summary
Subdividing property in New Zealand involves splitting land into smaller, individual sections. While potentially lucrative, it's a complex and expensive process often used to sell off part of a large section or redevelop a site.
The process requires a surveyor and lawyer to gain council consent and lodge plans with Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) for new titles. Costs for a simple two-lot split can range from $80,000 to $120,000.
Before starting, assess financial viability and consider placing covenants on the new land.
