Transforming your unused property equity into real value is completely risk-free. Mr Backyards covers all upfront costs, handles council subdivision approvals, and manages construction from start to finish.

How The Subdivision & Building Process Works

When you contact us with your interest in selling your backyard or having a new home built for you for FREE, the first thing we will ask is your property address. We ask for your address so we can perform an initial, obligation-free assessment of your block and council zoning rules.

Once you let us know which option you prefer—whether a cash payout or a brand-new home built on your land—our property specialists conduct deep preliminary research with local councils and relevant authorities to verify feasibility.

Zero Financial Risk & Covered Subdivision Costs

Subdividing a backyard requires significant capital investment, planning fees, surveying, soil testing, and council application costs. On average, applying for council approval and completing a backyard subdivision costs between $60,000 to $70,000.

Our 100% Risk-Free Guarantee: Mr Backyards absorbs all financial risk. If an application for approval is unsuccessful for any reason, we cover 100% of all expenses incurred. You will never have to pay any out-of-pocket costs at any stage.
