EXPERT OPINION

In our opinion Council would support two dwellings at the rear of the existing house. The existing house will require some building modifications to make it comply with both planning and building regulations. The vehicle accessway to the rear is 3m. The proposed dwellings will be double storey, contain 2-3 bedrooms each and have a floor area of 125-135sqm each. For a medium quality finish, theapproximate  build cost would be around $370-$420,000 for both units including subdivision costs ( to be verified). Renovations to the existing house is not included in this figure. Your accountant and a Quantity surveyor will advise of depreciation benefits which could be around $42,000-$57,000 over five years,subject to  the units areheld as an investment. Council may require an open space contribution.
