Family Home or Investment Property?
Over the years, townhouses have grown in popularity, with people wanting to live in major city areas where there are more jobs, schools, and social opportunities. From a developer’s perspective, townhouse construction is an ideal way to increase land value, and Melbourne’s northern suburbs is a great place to do so.
At BP Building Concepts, our experienced team of townhouse builders can help you create your dream home. We understand the nuances and legal requirements involved in new townhouse projects and are committed to walking with you every step of the way.
What is a Townhouse?
A townhouse is a dwelling that generally shares a common wall with the dwellings on either side of it, with shared land between. They usually have two to three storeys, as this ensures they provide the space required while still having a smaller footprint.
With young families looking to balance suburban and inner-city lifestyles, townhouses have become the modern standard of living thanks to their ability to offer the best of both worlds.


The Benefits of Townhouse Construction
There are many benefits to building (and living in) townhouses over other types of construction, including:
1. Affordability
Townhouses tend to be a more affordable option than single family homes, particularly if you build multiple units and sell or rent the others while living in one.
2. Lower Ongoing Costs
As the yard space and overall footprint of the home are smaller, you’ll find that the ongoing costs are lower (from using less energy and water to less roofing maintenance and landscaping).
3. Lower Financial Risk
Whether you’re looking for an investment or lack the capital usually required as a first home buyer, townhouses are attractive to banks thanks to their lower price point.

Are Melbourne Townhouses a Good Investment?
Yes! Due to the soaring price of houses and rising rental demand, entering into Australia’s property market can be a challenge for many people. This makes townhouses especially popular amongst two particular demographics:
Young Families
They are typically looking for two to three-bedroom homes in communities that are safe and familiar. They’re often working with a tighter budget, as one parent may be working part-time or not working at all. Townhouses often tick all of their boxes at a more affordable price than a freestanding dwelling.
Retirees
They are typically looking to downsize after their children have all grown and moved out. They may be relying on the sale of the family home to fund their retirement, so they want an affordable property to retire to. Townhouses are also generally small enough for them to comfortably maintain as they age.
Your Townhouse Builders Questions Answered
How much does it cost to build a townhouse?
It’s difficult to provide an exact figure, as there are too many variables in townhouse construction to consider (such as how many storeys the property will be). We encourage you to contact our expert team to discuss the particulars of your project and obtain a quote.
How long will it take to build a townhouse?
While this will also depend on various factors, in general, townhouses through a custom home builder usually take around nine to 12 months to complete (allowing for the size of the project, the builder’s schedule, weather conditions, and other delays that may occur).
Do townhouses offer good resale value?
In the past, many people avoided townhouses because they believed they wouldn’t make any money when reselling. Given Melbourne’s current property market projections, however, the purchase and development of townhouses are set to be profitable for many years to come.
