Hi all! Love the new forum format by the way..........
Just wanted some experienced people's words of wisdom on how exactly you go about converting a garage or office into another residence. I am looking at buying a property that has the potential to build a self contained unit either underneath the house (in the present double garage) or in a separate garage.
Exactly how do I go about getting council approval for such a project?
How do I know, before I buy the place, that such an proposition will be passed?
Many times houses are advertised with "potential for granny flat under" etc but how does it work on the one title? Are separate water and electricity meters needed? So many questions.....
Hoping someone can help me out here. BTW, I am looking to buy in Brisbane.
