Rooming Houses

More than one income from a single title.

A rooming house puts several private rooms, each with its own bathroom, under one roof around a shared kitchen and living area. We design them to Victoria's rooming house standards from the first sketch rather than retrofitting compliance at approval stage.

What’s involved

  • Private rooms, each with its own bathroom, around shared kitchen and living space
  • Designed to Victoria's rooming house standards, including the fire, egress and amenity requirements that come with them
  • Planning, council registration and compliance requirements mapped out before the design is locked
  • Built to be handed to a licensed operator, so the day-to-day running need not sit with you

For Investors

Why investors build this

  • Several tenancies from a single title — rooms are let individually rather than the house being let as a whole
  • One empty room is not an empty house: income sits across a number of rooms rather than resting on one lease
  • Day-to-day running can sit with a licensed rooming house operator rather than with you
  • Built to the standards the use requires from the outset, rather than converting an ordinary house afterwards

A real example

The owner reports this property generating $150,000+ a year in rental income.
