Can I sell the second dwelling separately?
Secondary residence: No. It is subordinate to the main dwelling, remains on the same title and cannot be sold separately. Dual occupancy: Potentially yes, if the dwellings are separately titled.
A secondary residence (granny flat) cannot be sold separately because it is a smaller dwelling that is subordinate to the main dwelling and remains on the same title.
A dual occupancy may be sold separately if the dwellings are separately titled, such as through an approved unit-title subdivision. Simply building a dual occupancy does not automatically mean the dwellings can be sold separately.
