    Hey New to this chat group, and looking at doing a triplex on at 800sqm in the Nollamara area fairly soon, to take advantage of the WA Gov grants, and interested to learn from your experiences.

    Welcome to the forums.

    My first thought was "are you sure its profitable?". All the rough numbers I've crunched there in Nollamara came up too low to be worthwhile for me.

    Nope. Have you seen what development units sell for in Nollamara. I drove down Nollamara Avenue recently looks like lots of others have already started,

    Welcome

    I assume this wont have a subdiv until completion, so you may need deep equity or pockets or a 50 k LMI premium :( or use commercial Private funding, but either way if subdiv on completion, expect a 20 to 25 % haircut on the end vals.

    We have done a bunch of these and the smallest haircut was 18 the highest 28

    Welcome.
    here's hoping you bought the block years and years ago or got it for a steal and your feasibility is looking good.
    Who's your builder going to be?

    and that is the problem with Nollamara, Westminster and Balga. It is 10 to 15km from CBD but all R40 and lots still undeveloped

    A long term gamble?
    Prices now are no better than 2008
    I would do something different 2 2x4 on the block. Something different to others in area.
    City of Stirling has grand plans for area if they eventuate

    These areas have been overcooked. Problem its low entry for developers to buy land and too many jumped in. Last boom cycle 2013/14 developers were offloading stock that they could not sell in 2007. Now we have developers from 2013/14 stuck with this stock, this market went into free fall

    Its a market which is high risk
