Older Christchurch housing stock on under-utilised residential sites. We replace one house with two, three or more new units, on the same title.
A site that worked in 1965 often doesn't work as well for today's needs.
A standard Canterbury residential lot built out in the 1950s or 60s usually has one house on 600 plus square metres. Under current zoning the same site often supports two or three units. The economics frequently favour demolish-and-replace over renovate.
BF Property runs the whole programme: existing dwelling demolition, new resource and building consent, services upgrade, multi-unit build, handover. The title stays in your name throughout.
Particularly common for owners who have outgrown a family home, an investment property approaching the end of its useful life, or an inherited site.
