Property Tip: Zoning - the Dealbreaker You Didn’t See Coming
Thinking of buying land or your dream reno project? Wait - have you checked the zoning?
We see it all the time - buyers fall in love with a property, only to discover later that zoning restrictions throw a spanner in the works.
Here’s why it matters:
Residential zoning: Great for living, but may limit sheds, granny flats, or home businesses.
Rural/residential: Often more flexible, but check for building restrictions.
Commercial/industrial: Not designed for living - great if it’s for business.
Environmental zones: Can limit clearing, building, and renovations.
Zoning affects everything from what you can build to how you use the land.
Don’t get caught out.
Always request a zoning certificate
