Dual Occupancy Homes, Duplexes or Granny Flats?
While researching your new home options, you might have encountered these terms. Each of these dwelling types offers a distinct configuration for dual living.
From council costs to land subdivision, building titles and separate or shared utilities, our dual occupancy builders can help you weigh up the options and decide which is best for your family, budget and lifestyle.
Here are the features of each of these Home Types
Dual Occupancy Homes
When land cannot be subdivided, a dual occupancy home offers an excellent solution. Ideal for extended families or those looking to provide boarding, a dual living home allows for shared living under a single building title. This option typically incurs lower building and council costs compared to duplexes or granny flats.
Dual occupancy designs can feature either shared living spaces with interior access to both dwellings or separate entries and individual garages. The choice is yours, and we can always customize the plan to meet your specific needs.
Duplex Homes
A duplex development, in contrast, consists of two distinct dwellings with separate building titles. The homes are connected by a common ‘party wall’ and involve additional paperwork with the council, including compliance with relevant zoning regulations.
Ideal for investors, a duplex allows you to rent one unit while living in the other, rent out both units, or even sell one of the homes. Additionally, you avoid the body corporate issues commonly associated with unit developments.
Granny Flats
Lastly, granny flats are self-contained units built alongside a principal dwelling on the same plot of land under a single title. However, there are conditions to consider, including zoning regulations, land size requirements, and local covenants.
Perfect for both families and investors, granny flats offer the flexibility to keep elderly family members close, provide adult children with their own space, or generate extra income by renting out the unit.
