GRANNY FLATS

Granny flats have become a very popular alternative to the mainstream housing options usually sought after by first time buyers, property investors or even renters. .

The Sunshine Coast is particularly suited to the granny flat style of liveable space due to its laid back lifestyle and the many rural, semi rural and rural residential blocks of land available.

Quite a number of farm properties are being subdivided and present wonderful opportunities to those wanting a much more basic style of building – which also costs so much less than the more ‘typical’ ways of building a liveable space. Additionally, on the Sunshine Coast there are many existing rural properties with established dwellings and, due to local council by laws, allowance has been made to permit a secondary dwelling (or granny flat).

There is a vast range of freedom in design when we consider that the granny flat structure is basically a large open space inside where there is freedom of choice regarding the layout of rooms, without the need to consider internal walls being required for the strength of the building.
