Hey guys just wondering if anyone here has done this or looked into it? Basically I am thinking instead of buying a studio/1 bedroom apartment in Brisbane which is bugger all room and where I would want to live costs nearly 300k, I am thinking just buying a industrial office like a mechanic's one and converting the mezzanine area into a loft style apartment.

So questions for the legal beavers/real estate guys out there. Is this legal and what costs would be involved compared to a normal unit?
