BC’s new density rules quietly rewrote what an everyday single-family lot can become — and that changes what it’s worth. Here’s a real Oxford Heights example.
What could my lot support?Not long ago this lot would have held one house. Under the new small-scale multi-unit housing rules, it’s becoming six self-contained homes on a single RS1 lot — working with the creek setback, not against it.
The same lot that’s worth one house may now support four, five, or six homes. That changes its value and your options.
Well-located infill sites are the whole game right now. If you’re looking for lots that pencil under the new rules, I can help you find them — and tell you which ones actually work once setbacks, grade, trees and servicing are accounted for.
Your property’s value and options may have changed more than you think — whether you want to build, partner with a builder, or simply sell to one who understands the potential. Worth knowing before you decide anything.
Every lot is different, and the rules are still settling — size, shape, grade, trees, watercourses and servicing all affect what’s genuinely buildable. That’s exactly what a lot assessment is for.
Tell me a little about your lot and I’ll walk you through what’s likely feasible, what comparable sites are trading for, and what a project like Jervis actually involves.
Thanks — I’ll be in touch personally to walk you through what your lot could support and what the numbers look like.
