Most property developments don’t fail because of one big mistake.

They fail because of a series of small costs no one sees coming until it’s already too late.

What looks like a great deal on paper can quietly fall apart once the soil, slope, services and planning rules start stacking against you after the site is already locked in.

In this episode, Peter Kelly breaks down the hidden costs that kill most property developments and explains why beginners consistently miss them. From soil conditions and land gradient to easements, stormwater, services and planning constraints, this video shows how feasibility slowly erodes when due diligence is rushed or incomplete.

This video explains what actually causes developments to blow out, why copying neighbouring projects is dangerous, and how small site differences can carry massive financial consequences.

Whether you’re looking at your first development site or already own land, this episode will help you understand where projects go wrong and how to spot problems before they destroy your profit.
