More and more Sydney residents and investors are looking to duplexes as great alternatives to conventional houses.

What is a Duplex?  

A duplex is a residential building that contains two separate homes.

These two homes share a common wall, but the inhabitants enter through separate entrances. They are completely different spaces occupied by different people.

Both families have their privacy. They don’t need to feel bothered by people in the home next door. Duplexes come in various shapes, sizes, and styles. You can find out more about their appeal below.

The Advantages Of Duplexes

Here’s why you should consider building one and what advantages are associated with them.

A Full Sized Home

There’s no compromise with a Duplex. Modern designs mean they are still just as spacious as a stand-alone house, boasting the same features. There’s no limit to what you can achieve with a duplex.

You Can Find Tenants

Many people who choose to build duplexes live in one of the units and rent out the other unit.

This gives them the advantage of becoming a landlord, while also having their own living space that they can continue to occupy. You also have the option of finding two lots of tenants and filling both of the homes.

Not only will this boost your income, but it will also help you pay off your mortgage quicker. As a result, you can pay off your mortgage must faster than usual. This will also help make sure you’re ready for retirement.

Make Extra Room for Extended Family

With life becoming increasingly busy, its hard to find time to visit family and loved ones. With a duplex, you can be closer to your family, and have them right next door. This is a great idea, especially if you have elderly parents or any one who needs extra care and support. It gives you peace of mind to know that they are not far away if they need anything. They are able to have their own private space, but are still close by.

It can be as Simple or as Luxurious as You Wish

Why build a Duplex in Sydney? 

There are many reasons why Sydney is a good location for building duplexes right now.

Land in Sydney is Harder to Find Than Ever Before

Sydney is a city that continues to grow at an extraordinary rate. It shows that it’s a great place to live and work. The city is becoming more vibrant, with more dining, retail and recreation areas.

It also means land is harder to find as they are in high demand. Therefore, the price of land is increasing, and lot sizes becoming smaller. That’s why homeowners are turning to duplexes to help them get more out of their space than they normally would. A Duplex maximises your return on investment for the land it is on.

Get More Out of Limited Space

Getting more out of that limited space is a definite advantage.

It’s about being more efficient with space and ensuring the land space available is used to its maximum potential. It’s the main reason why duplexes are growing in popularity around Sydney at the moment. 

Sydney Remains a Very Attractive Place to Live for Many

If you’re looking for reasons to create a rental opportunity on your land in Sydney, you can be reassured by the appeal of the city.

Many of the major parts of the Australian economy, including trade, manufacturing, finance and education are centred on Sydney and its surrounding areas.

It means there are lots of job opportunities and many people move here to work and enjoy local life. 

The Most Important Considerations to Make

Before you push ahead with any plans, you need to understand the key consideration to make when building a duplex. These are all important matters that can’t be ignored.

The Location of the Duplex

The location of the duplex will obviously have an impact on its value and long-term potential.

You should try to aim for an appealing neighbourhood with more to offer. That way, it will have a higher value on the rental market.

The location also matters if you want to appeal to commuters, so remember to think about transport links if you’re choosing a location that will offer maximum rental value in the future.
