Hi everyone, Has anyone lived or invested in Melrose Park (adjacent West Ryde). What is it like during peak times? as i can see there are some industrial factories adjacent Wharf Road. Does the traffic get bad during the week? is it a bad area to invest in? Thanks

Council Fines? Hey everyone, i know that everyone talks about illegal shed conversions, illegal renovations etc, but does anyone actually know what the implications are? Do the council have power to make you remove and demolish the Granny flat after its built? or do they just fine you once and...

Hey nek, definitely do not need council permission of you are cladding over old fibro, I did my place in the coast with vinyl cladding, the austech stuff, seriously have the whole house a uplift, then I was able to revalue and use the equity + some additional funds to build a granny flat, I'll...

Hi Brazen, Can you/anyone recommend any builders who are price competitive yet delivering a good quality product in Granny Flats, on my list i have the following: 1) Granny Flats Australia (Cid) 2) Ian Cubitts 3) ? Any other guys around in the Sydney Region? Thanks

No probs BestInvest, happy to share experiences. It really comes down to the numbers, if you are in an area that is only going to generate $250 for a 2 bedroom granny flat, then yes spending $90-100K on a proper built granny flat may not be worthwhile, especially if you want your backyard back...

Not to sure about these expanda vans, it's pretty much a kit home which can craned of site. I actually was going to go down a similar path but once you realize the total costs (connection of services, trenching requirements, still have to pay section 94 council contrib, crane age costs) you will...

Thats exactly what i wanted to do, but its already built now. I guess i am looking at adding a patio (timber deck, rather than pouring concrete) and building a wall out from the existing perimeter to add another BR, did you need to get anything different in order to have that larger concrete...

Thanks Brazen, I see, the layout reminds me of a Camping Lodge, where the only shared area is the Kitchen, but as you said if the target is Students what more do you need (especially for Rental income). I wanted to ask, if you built a 2BR granny flat, but had the internal design built so that...

Hi Trinity, did you end up getting a property in Westmead? i too am looking for a 2BR unit. Im looking around the Hawksberry Road area, not to close to the Hospital such as Carolyn St. How is your search going?

How about Positive Cash flow? from Depreciation such as Capital works and Plant & Equipment?

Hi Veseli, Having done 2 x 2BR granny flats now, how in the world do you fit in 3 BR's in a 60m2 foot print? have you got a plan showing what it looks like? Somethings gotta give...

Hi, Nek seems like you have had a enjoyable experience with Cid, i too have had a 2 BR Granny Flat built by him and found him very patient and calm. I am currently finishing off my 2nd property with a 2BR granny flat (IMO i would never do a 1BR granny flat, as the amount you pay for the...
