Opportunity on Worcester Street – 759m² MRZ Land – Renovate, Infill, or Develop

This property offers a versatile acquisition for builders and developers alike. Whether the strategy is renovation or full site redevelopment, the fundamentals here support a range of solid development outcomes.

The site is a clean, rectangular 759m² block (15.1m × 50.25m) with existing southern-side vehicle access. The 3-bedroom dwelling is vacant and sold on an “As Is, Where Is” basis. It was uninsured during the Canterbury earthquakes and carries no EQC/NHC claim history, providing a clear pathway for buyers considering repair and future insurability.

Development Options
• Full Redevelopment: Clear the site for approximately 4–6 townhouses or 2–3 larger dwellings (subject to consent)
• Renovate & Hold: Repair the existing weatherboard home to capture immediate equity or rental yield
• Renovate & Infill: Refurbish the front dwelling and utilise the driveway width to develop the rear section

Site Specifications
• 759m² – 15.1m × 50.25m
• Medium Density Residential (MRZ)
• TC2 – simplifying foundation and geotechnical requirements
• Not identified on LLUR or HAIL registers
• Located in the Flood Management Area (FMA) – typical for the suburb

Offer Guidance
• Offers over $530,000, reflecting a competitive entry point relative to recent sales
• Unconditional or limited-condition offers preferred
• Short settlement period (less than 1 month preferred)

Deadline Sale: All offers to be submitted by 5:00pm, Wednesday 17 December (unless sold prior). The vendor reserves the right to negotiate with selected parties.
