I've seen Granny Flats valued between 70% to 150% of the build price. The valuation depends on a variety of factors including: - Area (suburb). Generally, the more units in the area, the better - Materials & Build Quality, more if on slab, less on piers - Privacy and Separation, distance...

Yep, yep. I thought about that actually (landscaping, extra letterbox, fencing etc). Its not too bad, as long as you didnt have to do any work yourself.

POWER: Connection comes from front the house to the granny flat. A new meter is placed within the existing meter-box, so the Energy provider measures that every quarter. Sometimes the supply wiring is too thin (less than 3mm I think) and when this is the case, a new wire must be run from the...

That's covered in your build price.

These are ongoing costs, no?

Well I'm glad people are reading my articles :) Im NOT the builder. I use a series of trusted builders and that ensures my clients get treated well and priced fairly. The overall price has to include: 1. Approvals- approx. $5,500 2. Site Preparation- Any excavation? Sewer issues...
