Building multiple houses on a block (WA)

My advice would be to go to the council (physically go in, don't just ring or email) and ask to speak to someone in Planning. Tell them of your intentions…

Using different realestate agent

Not sure where you are, but in WA the norm would be:

To sell or not to sell in Quinns Rocks

Trish, you're right in saying prices have dropped but it's not right to say they're "undervalued". The boom saw prices increase dramatically which led to properties being "overvalued". We've gone…
