New ep! Two development applications.

Same client.

Same street.

Almost identical plans.

One sailed through council.

The other came back with FIVE pages of objections.

How does that happen?

In the latest episode of the Property Developer Podcast, Anthony Puma from Prestige Plans explains why planning approvals have been one of the biggest frustrations facing developers and how recent planning reforms may finally be changing the game.

Full episode available now.

Final wave good bye to my most challenging project 👋it has taken a long time to get here, longer than I every thought possible. So many issues I had to battle through - COVID craziness, rising build costs, trade shortages, softening market, builder problems, defects and so many more. But through it all I never doubted I would get it done. Couldn't have done it without the assistance and support of , Napier and Blakely QS and .oakley so a big thank you to all of them. As the saying goes, a good sailor was never made on calm seas...😉

Big day today. Settlement on the last unit in my project. What a long and windy road it has been. Started before COVID, caught up in lockdowns, hit with trade shortages and rising costs, hostile builder that stopped work, soft market, defects, you name it... to say I'm relieved is an understatement! But I never doubted my ability and determination to get it finished!

What happens when your builder goes bust halfway through your project?

It’s one of the toughest challenges any property developer can face—and it can totally derail your project. But the good news is, there are ways to avoid it, or at least manage the fallout.

In the latest episode of the Property Developer Podcast, I chat with Dan Holden from Holden Capital about the chaos that follows when a builder collapses, and how you can stay ahead of the game. Dan had a builder go bust during a project he was doing.

I’ve personally experienced this too on my last project we faced major issues when the builder stopped work halfway through. But through these tough lessons, I learned how to navigate the chaos, and we cover that in detail in the episode.

We dive into:
🔑 The impact of a builder collapse on your project
⚠️ How to spot the warning signs early
💡 What to do when the worst happens, and how to recover
🛠️ Tips for selecting the right builder to keep things on track

This episode is packed with insights that could save you time, money, and stress on your next project!

There are many reasons (some very expensive) why a piece of land might not be suitable for doing a property development. Uncovering these deal killers is crucial to ensure you don't get stuck with a dud site.

That's why a thorough due diligence effort is required to identify any showstoppers. And why I have put together a report on the 10 top deal killers that will stop any project in its tracks and how you can avoid them.

If you can sidestep all the deal killers outlined in the report you can then enjoy a streamlined, smooth and profitable property development project.

So, if you are interested in property development and want to know what to look out for when assessing potential development sites so you don't buy a dud, then be sure to read through the report.

The costs of not knowing the pitfalls of a development site could be very costly so grab your copy today at https://www.propertydevelopertraining.com/deal_killer
