Two-apartment homes across Newfoundland & Labrador

Buying a two-apartment home

What to know before you buy

A two-apartment home has a main unit plus a self-contained second apartment, usually in the basement, so you can live in one and rent the other. They're found all over the St. John's metro area, from Mount Pearl and Paradise to Conception Bay South, and they're popular with first-time buyers and investors alike.

Is the second apartment approved?

Ask whether the apartment was built with municipal approval and is recognised as a separate unit. It matters for insurance, financing and resale, and your lawyer can confirm it before closing.

Can the rent help you qualify?

Many lenders count part of the expected rent from an owner-occupied two-unit home toward your mortgage qualification. How much varies by lender, so get pre-approved with the rental income included before you shop.

What should the inspection cover?

Separate entrances, fire separation and working smoke alarms between the units, proper egress windows in any basement bedroom, and whether heat, power and laundry are separate or shared.

Is there a tenant already?

If the apartment is rented, read the lease and the Residential Tenancies Act rules for Newfoundland and Labrador before planning any change to who lives there.
