Building a Granny Flat
Looking for an affordable solution to the other members in your family? Thinking about some extra income? Or for that much needed extra space?
Building a Granny Flat, also known as a ‘Secondary Dwelling’, offers several benefits - they provide a self contained living space for others in your family; they can be used as a rental for that extra income; or for yourself as a private retreat or studio.
A Secondary Dwelling can be a more affordable alternative for first home buyers, who have access to land. They are then able to offset the build cost with the First Home Owners Grant.
A Granny Flat can also be a more affordable option than building an investment property as they generally offer higher % yields.
Due to their smaller scale, Granny Flats are quicker and cheaper to build, and this has been helped along with the relaxed planning regulations. Plus your council may even waive other fee’s typically associated with these developments. All helpful in todays housing market.
Some things we need to know before we can build, but don’t worry we can establish this for you.
Your land zoning
Your land or block size
Your block street frontage
How far from the road
Any other affects like bushfire risk, flood risk etc.
