Broadbeach Development Sales | With or Without a DA

📄🏗️ Broadbeach Development Sales | With or Without a DA

Two Smart Paths for Sellers of Redevelopment Sites with Existing Dwellings

Presented by Norton’s Real Estate – Seller-Only Agents for Development Sites and Redevelopment Blocks in Broadbeach

🏗️ The Opportunity: Broadbeach Land Is Limited – And Developers Are Still Buying

Whether your property is:

  • A unit block with multiple titles

  • A large freehold home with zoning uplift

  • A duplex on a combined lot

  • Or an older structure ready for change…

Broadbeach’s land supply is finite, and demand remains steady for well-positioned, developable blocks.

But here’s the key: You don’t need a DA in place to sell for development value — and if you already have one, we know how to market that too.

🔄 Two Paths. One Market. One Agent Who Can Handle Both.

We work with owners who are selling either:

What It Means

📄 Property WITH a DA

📄

You’ve done the planning. It’s shovel-ready.

🏗️ Property WITHOUT a DA

🏗️

Zoned land, existing structure, ready to market to builders

Norton’s specialises in both pathways — and we tailor your campaign based on what you have, and who’s buying.

📄 SELLING WITH A DA – Fast-Track Contracts, Premium Buyer Confidence

If you already hold a Development Approval, you’re holding a powerful asset. Your buyer is typically:

  • A builder or syndicate who wants to start within 6–12 months

  • An interstate developer who doesn’t want planning delays

  • A group of investors seeking low-risk, high-certainty assets

📄 What We Market:

  • DA documents and architectural renders

  • Council approval letters and decision notices

  • Project feasibility summaries

  • Expiry dates and conditions of approval

  • Town planning notes or staged approvals (if applicable)

📄 Benefits for You as the Seller:

  • ✅ Higher buyer confidence = stronger offers

  • ✅ Reduced due diligence timelines

  • ✅ Faster finance approvals (valuers use DA to confirm upside)

  • ✅ Clear negotiation leverage (site value already mapped)

📄 Note: We don’t just "upload a PDF" — we extract the narrative, build a buyer pack, and speak directly to builders who are ready to act.

🏗️ SELLING WITHOUT A DA – Still Powerful, Still Profitable

No DA? No problem.

If your land is zoned Medium or High Density Residential (Broadbeach LDR, HDR, Centre or Mixed Use zoning), it still has major redevelopment appeal — especially if:

  • You’re on a corner or dual-street frontage

  • You have land size over 600m²

  • The building is older, tenanted, or at end-of-life

  • Your property adjoins others in a likely amalgamation area

🏗️ What We Market:

  • Zoning map + overlays

  • Title and lot dimensions

  • Town planning commentary (from certified partner firms)

  • Current lease arrangements (if any)

  • Building condition + rental yield

  • Development precedents nearby

🏗️ Benefits for You as the Seller:

  • ✅ Attract developers who want to shape their own DA

  • ✅ Avoid the cost, risk, and time of preparing approvals

  • ✅ Let the buyer take on town planning risk

  • ✅ Market earlier, and test buyer appetite without outlay

Norton’s works with planners to ensure we position your site clearly — without overpromising on yield or use.

📄 Contract Structures for Each Path

Sale Type

Preferred Contract Terms

📄 With DA

Shorter due diligence (30–170 days), deposit released sooner

🏗️ Without DA

Longer conditional period (6-9 months), subject to council input

Both

Option for staged deposits, non-refundable components, or cash contracts

🏗️ We work with your solicitor to protect your position — not just accept whatever conditions a developer requests.

🏗️ Norton’s Development Site Sales Strategy

Whether you have a DA or not, we offer:

✅ Buyer matching through our developer and builder database
✅ Private emails to syndicates and joint venture groups
✅ Drone and boundary-marked visuals
✅ Planning brief packs
✅ Buyer information decks with overlays and yield assumptions
✅ Private appointment inspections only — no open homes

📄 Our job is not just to list. It’s to clarify, position, and extract the highest value based on your asset’s planning context.

🏗️ Common Seller Questions

Q: Will I get more with a DA?
📄 Possibly — but it depends on timing, land size, and developer urgency. Some buyers prefer unencumbered sites.

Q: Do I need to demolish the existing building?
🏗️ No. Often, developers settle with tenants in place or negotiate possession later.

Q: Can I sell a unit block in one line without individually titled units?
📄 Yes. We manage these deals regularly with strata or freehold titles — DA or not.

Q: Can I test the market before committing?
🏗️ Yes. We offer off-market, pre-list, and EOIs to explore value and structure deals before launching publicly.
