Indeed. Certainly getting closer to the 'tempting' mark, however these are just ballpark figures, on the phone the agent said "take around $15k off if you loose the skillion", but I'm yet to get a proper full quote so I guess I'll khave a better idea when I sit down with the builder.

As an update for anyone interested: I have gotten a third quote for the build, which came in at approx $238,000 fully finished with the skillion roof, or around $225,000 without. I'm going to meet with them this week and discus a few things, but at $20,000 cheaper for a similar spec it is...

I'd love to get a family in there, but I know a few people in the area have been finding there is a market for sharehouse living. One other point I've been tossing up: whether to put an electric gate on the front (rather than a roller door on the garage) so the entire front/back outdoor area...

Some great points so far guys. I am definitely steering towards having the skillion roof removed from the plans now. As for the other points I'll have to get the tracing paper out tonight and have a look. Might as well make a few changes now if I have to get the roof re-drafted Any more...

Ok so I have never actually lived in the laundry! Well, not since my London gap-year days anyway... ;)

My thoughts entirely Sanj. The street/area is full of older homes on big blocks but it is rapidly becoming a bit of a duplex hotspot (for better or worse!), so plenty of new rear dwellings going up which seem to be generally of a good standard of style and quality. In the scheme of Bayswater...

Interesting to note INVSTOR, I'd assumed that if anything the skillion would improve saleablility (if not sale price). Architectural uniqueness aside, a light, bright, high-ceilinged and passive solar (if correctly oriented) house must count for something, right?

A few more quick details on the property/house that should be considered: *It is located in Bayswater, WA. *Median house price (for Bayswater) is $535,000 but many of these are large blocks, not subdivided duplexes like the property in question. *Median weekly rent is $300. *I am...

So, my first duplex development is progressing (slowly!) and I'm at the point of engaging a builder for the rear IP dwelling. The quotes have come back from two builders and I'm shocked to say they are $60k more than I'd anticipated (I'm looking at $265,000 for an average spec 4x2)!! It seems...
