If the problem can be solved and the purchase price leaves enough margin, difficult sites can sometimes produce the biggest development opportunities.\nIn this episode:\nWhy site access can make or break a subdivision \nHow easements and road-access restrictions affect development potential \nContaminated, reactive and rocky soil and the costs they can create \nWhy geotechnical testing matters before going unconditional \nHow extreme slopes and retaining costs can destroy a feasibility \nFlooding, bushfire, wildlife corridors and other environmental constraints \nWhy underground mining can become a major development problem \nHow neighbouring properties and surrounding land uses affect buyer demand \nWhy high-voltage power lines, cemeteries and industrial uses can shrink your buyer pool \nHow experienced developers distinguish a deal killer from a solvable problem\nIf you're assessing land for your next subdivision, this episode gives you a practical framework for spotting the problems that could cost you before you commit.\nLearn more from Andrew Wright Property","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/AWve3fdnlO5RFVojAFxQgn5FISMIjquKk-WfEFUMIg4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jNWEw/ZTA1YTI2ZjQ0OGQ1/NmE0OGU3MzA0NTc5/MTBkMS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
