What Is Dual Occupancy ?
Dual Occupancy is similar to Multi Unit Development. As the name suggests, it means building two houses on a land. Building a second house at the rear of the existing dwelling or knocking down the first house to build two side by side dwellings. The layout options available as it depends on various factors such as the size of the property, zoning laws, building codes, and individual design preferences.
Generally, dual occupancy design can range from two separate buildings on a single lot, to one building with two separate living areas. Within those broad categories, there are countless layout options, such as having a mirror image design where each living areas is identical, or having asymmetrical designs where one living area is larger than the other.
Ultimately, the number of available options will depend on the specific requirements and limitations of the property, as well as the budget and design preferences of the owner.
Dual occupancy development requires a Town Planning Permit. Most of our clients choose this option to live in one house and lease or sell the other. You also have the option to sell both of the houses to make profit.
