Hi guys,
Can some of the more experienced or knowledgable offer some advice here.
Say you have 2 blocks the same size, 900sqm.
One block is 20m wide x 45m deep, and the other one is 15m wide x 60m deep.
The wider block may be good for a side by side attached duplex, and the narrower longer block may be good for 2 separate dwellings in a battle axe block situation.
I imagine the free standing duplex units would cost more to construct, but may value better by not having any common walls and separated front/back yards.
They could also be a bit more unique or have more design flexibility and functionality than the side by side duplexes.
Overall, what situation would be better, assuming same conditions for both blocks.
What would be the difference approximately, if you can measure by percentages.
Or, if you were searching for a duplex block, what would you look for, apart from minimum land size, aspect and drainage.
Thanks
