Development

House Behind House

Recent zoning changes in Perth have made house-behind-house developments a smart, profitable reality for many homeowners. Big, often unused, backyards are delivering big returns with a lot less risk than other forms of property development.

As the name suggests, a house-behind-house development involves subdividing land into two separate titles. Often, the new dwelling will be developed behind an existing house. This approach has many advantages for first-time developers.
