Hi all, I have read heaps of granny flat threads and can't find the answer to my question, but sorry if there is an existing thread.
I was wondering how a granny flat affects the value of the property? Does it add what the granny flat costs, or more, or less? I wouldl love to hear from those who have built one and had the property revalued.
We have just bought a property in NSW that appears to meet all the criteria for the NSW granny flat planning laws.
It is a dead-flat 645-sq-m corner block with a 40m frontage on the side street and an existing house and garage taking up the front half of the block. We plan at some point to fence off a third of the block (back section) for a free-standing granny flat, which would have it's own smallish yard and street access.
The property cost 240k and rent is expected to be $320+ per week for the existing house. Estimated rent for the GF would be $250+. I estimate the GF would cost $80k to $100k to build.
Thanks!
Ali
