Question

George Giannakakis · Accepted Answer

When buying land in Adelaide, check for block slope, orientation and dimensions relative to the home design you want to build, review the certificate of title for easements, encumbrances and covenants (especially estate developer covenants that dictate build value, facade and colour), confirm the zoning and any overlays (bushfire, flood, character, heritage, stormwater) with the local council and PlanSA, request or commission a site-classification soil report to understand site costs, and verify all services are connected or costed. Adelaide land in 2026 typically ranges from around $180,000 in outer northern growth corridors to $600,000+ in inner and coastal suburbs.
