Granny flats are regulated buildings and so there are certain regulations you need to abide by, such as minimum land sizes and maximum floor areas (we’ll get into the nitty-gritty numbers in our FAQs below)!
As with any project, it’s worth considering your budget before beginning.
Granny flats can be as basic or as luxurious as you wish.
The number of bedrooms, the materials used and the finishes can all have an impact on the overall cost.
One of the biggest perks of having a granny flat is including all the eco-friendly features you may not have in the main house.
From skylights and large windows for loads of natural light to double-glazed windows and solar panels, you can make your granny flat as sustainable as you’d like!
While it can be tempting to go full maximalist, with granny flats, often less is more.
Smaller pieces of furniture here can make a big difference!
With a small floor plan, you’ll want everything in the home to have a purpose (or two).
Think hidden storage compartments, kitchen benches doubling as dining areas and study nooks along spare walls.
