ᐅ One large house or three smaller houses?

Created on: 26 Sep 2022 12:08

Hello,

this whole subject is still very new to me, so I apologize in advance if I have any naive assumptions here and there.

The situation is as follows: three children have inherited a 500 sq m (approximately 33 m x 15 m / 36,000 sq ft (approximately 108 ft x 49 ft)) plot of land ready for construction. The basic question is: should they build a three-family house, or three small houses? The second option must be significantly more expensive, right?

I would appreciate any opinions.

5 meters (16 feet) wide, floor area ratio not taken into account.
In short: Forget it!

And what about a housing group (three terraced houses)? That would actually be quite wide.

However, these need to be built within the property, which means site development will be required. Most likely, at least 3 parking spaces will be necessary. 27 x 9 meters (89 x 30 feet), if you only consider the 3-meter (10-foot) setback... those are just fantasies 😉.

Thank you for all the responses!

The option of “3 small houses” is therefore off the table.

So the question remains whether to go for 3 townhouses (terraced houses) or one house with 3 separate floors. Is this purely a matter of personal preference, or are there objective factors to consider as well? Parking spaces are not a must-have.

First, check with the building authority to see what is allowed or review the zoning plan. Constructing three full floors could very well be rejected...

Maybe not for you, but the zoning plan usually says otherwise.
