Rooming Houses

Staunch Pty Ltd converts existing homes and secondary dwellings into compliant rooming houses across South East Queensland — Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich and Logan. We handle the approval path, the renovation, and the compliance work that makes the property lettable.

Typical work includes distressed or tired stock, hoarder clear-outs where needed, main-house guts that stay non-structural where that fits the approval, and secondary dwellings brought to code with kitchens, bathrooms, stairs and fire compliance.

Bethania rooming house — 88 Federation Drive, Bethania (Logan area, QLD)

Completed in late 2025, this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom project took a distressed hoarder property through approval and renovation into a compliant rooming house, with a secondary dwelling brought to code. Acquired for $400,000 and recently valued at approximately $1,000,000 in less than two years. Works took about three months; approval took longer than the works.

Scope included a hoarder clear-out and installing doors before settlement; a main-house gut; a 12m × 4.8m secondary mining-camp donga split into two halves, with code stairs, kitchenette and bathroom to each half and fire compliance; external remediation; and a crushed-rock driveway. Owner-only outcome; not an Investor Pool ROI claim or guarantee. Text only; photos later.
