Coliving conversions in Perth and Melbourne

3x The Rent.

We turn an ordinary house into a fully furnished, fully managed coliving home with rent from every room, usually in 5 to 6 months. Already own the house? We convert it. Don't have one yet? We help you find the right one.

Two ways to start

Already Own A House, Or Need One Found?

I already own a house

Your fastest path. We check the layout, plan the rooms, get the approvals, convert, furnish and fill it.

  • No purchase, no stamp duty, no settlement wait
  • You'll usually need less cash or equity, as the house is already yours
  • We tell you honestly on the call if your house doesn't suit

Help me find a house

We help you find and assess a house that works for coliving, then take it from settlement to fully let.

Around $400k

cash or usable equity is a good guide to buy and convert, covering the deposit, purchase costs, conversion and furniture.

Why convert

Faster Than A New Build.

Conversion5 to 6 monthsfrom start to rooms let
New build12 months +land, contracts and a 10 to 12 month build

Rent starts sooner, so your holding costs stop sooner. You're also working with an established suburb and a house you can walk through before you commit.

The difference

One Rent Or Six.

Rented as a normal house · one tenant
Rented as a normal house · one tenantabout $750/wk
Converted to coliving · 6 ensuite rooms
Converted to coliving · 6 ensuite rooms$2,220/wk

A real Perth conversion. The normal rent is an estimate for the same house; the coliving rent is when fully let and is not guaranteed. We'll run the numbers for your house or budget on the call, including loan and running costs.

Common Questions

Does my house need to be a certain size?

Most of our conversions are 5 or 6 bedrooms. We look at the layout, the block and the suburb on the call and tell you straight if it suits.

Is 5 to 6 months realistic?

That's our typical timeframe from start to rooms let. Council approvals and the condition of the house can move it, and we'll give you a timeline for your property.

Who manages it once it's done?

We do. We find and screen the residents, handle maintenance and compliance, and send you regular reporting.

How much does the conversion cost?

It depends on the house and the number of rooms. We'll give you clear pricing for your property on the call.

Will the bank lend on a coliving conversion?

Usually, yes. Banks generally lend up to 80% of a property's value, so equity in your home often covers your share. We can introduce you to a broker who understands coliving.

Who handles council and compliance?

We do. We handle all the tricky council approvals for your property, plus the fire and safety upgrade and the final sign-offs, in both Perth and Melbourne.

I live interstate. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Most of our investors live interstate, and we handle everything on the ground with regular updates and photos.
