    Hi guys,

    Has anyone converted a double storey house into two single level apartments?

    No.
    But have learned a bit about the fact that you need to have each apartment fire isolated and you may need a structural engineer to certify the strength of the separating floor.
    Recommend you visit local council and tell them what you are thinking of doing and they will tell you what is required to strata title a building that is two storeys.

    likewise, you have to address the same issues for sites sharing a common wall.

    Guys,

    These are issues I can technically sort out. But how do they stack-up when you do the numbers?

    Do these type of projects ultimately always end up blowing out?
