I am seriously considering this and want to hear your thoughts.
NRAS eligible ancillary dwellings for Disability or Aged Dependents from Questus.
I went to see the Module yesterday, although small 45sqm it does have the advantage of being pre-built and it is possible to extend to a larger unit with a second bedroom and ensuite (obviously at a higher cost). The package is turnkey, can be delivered within 12 weeks after approvals and is $100,000 plus site costs.
It's a bit on the high side for 45sqm but the NRAS incentive makes that point moot (would you agree?), also the bathroom and general design is suitable for disabled access, wheelchairs and mobility aids, the steel joists can take a hoist (extra cost for hook to be installed) these are features that would add cost to any unit.
Basically the incentive will pay for the unit within 10 years.
This is great news for us as we already earmarked part of our PPOR land for a granny flat which we would rent to a person with a disability and we already have a 4x2 townhouse under NRAS so we are comfotable with the process.
Would other developers be interested in placing a unit on their land to rent to person with a disability, there is a huge shortage of affordable housing for people with disability and they are great tenants (I know that because I work for a disability support organisation and frequently make home visits).
So what do you think?
