Granny flats (secondary dwellings) have become one of the popular ways to maximise property value, create additional income, and provide flexible living arrangements. With increasing demand for adaptable housing solutions, more homeowners are choosing to make better use of their existing land rather than upsizing or relocating. Whether used to accommodate extended family, generate rental income, or create a private guest retreat, granny flats offer a practical and cost-effective response to evolving housing needs. Their relatively compact scale also means they can often be delivered faster and with fewer constraints than larger developments, making them an attractive option for many property owners.
