What is a Granny Flat?
Most people would love to be able to rent out a room in their house or have an extra space for family members or guests. So, considering building a granny flat is a very productive idea. But building a granny flat is expensive, time consuming and complicated. It’s also hard to find someone who can do it right.
Wondering what is a granny flat? A granny flat is a small, separate living space that can be added to an existing home. Granny flats are great for the homeowner and the tenant because they offer extra income and more space without adding or moving into another house.
