    PPOR + Granny Flat at Orange NSW

    Smart Space Granny Flat NSW Version

    Someone mentioned the Smart Space granny flats that Bunnings sell. They looked really good but the sizes were a bit awkward for the NSW 60sqm limit under the Affordable Housing SEPP. I see they have now released (unless I missed it before) a NSW version which is 60sqm...

    Ryde Granny Flat Seminar

    I went to the seminar run by Ryde Council about granny flats under the Afordable House SEPP. I thought I'd share a few things I thought were interesting. Some is applicable to Ryde but some would apply to any council in NSW. -Approval is now 20 days not 10 days (not really a big deal)...

    Land Leasing for Granny Flat

    What do people think about this idea. I live in Ryde, an inner west suburb of Sydney. A 1 br granny flat was on offer the other day for $400pw. The location wasn't even that good. I don't know if they got it but I would think so. This week there's a pretty nice 2br up for $480pw...

    Strata Title Motel

    I'm looking at buying a motel in a small rural town in NSW. It's 10 rooms that have 1 double & 1 single. Is it likely the council will let me strata title them? If so, what costs might I be up for? I suspect they would benefit from having kitchenettes installed. They would be...

    Improving Main Road Property Value Through Rear Access

    Hi, I live in the Ryde area. The average 3 bed house price is around $700K. I've noticed however that houses on busy main roads sell for up to $100K less than houses in quieter streets. I suspect that it is the difficulty/safety of getting in & out of the driveway that reduces value...
