Put a Second Dwelling on Your Property.
Griffin Concepts has recently launched ACT Granny Flats, specialising in smart additional second dwellings
The ACT changed its Granny Flat rules in 2014. Changes to the rules now allow for flats up to 90m2, removed the need for occupants of the secondary residence to be related to the occupants of the primary dwelling, and opened up options for rental on the open market. Many of the older suburbs in Canberra have larger blocks which are ideal in terms of accommodating a second dwelling, whether to supplement retirement income, assist with early repayment of the loan on
the primary residence, or to allow for elderly parents or University-aged children to stay close to family. ACT Granny Flats is in the business of providing secondary dwellings, which can turn your spare land and existing equity into a place for
family or rental income. ACT Granny Flats is passionate about improving the lives of Canberrans, and wants the process of
building a granny flat to be fulfilling for everyone in the community. Our team have the skills and experience to manage the process from beginning to end. With an ACT Granny Flat, you can either keep loved ones close while maintaining a level of independence, or you can take the opportunity to provide rental income which not only pays for
itself but will eventually offset the cost of your primary residence. ACT Granny Flats provides the following products and services designed to help you efficiently establish a second dwelling on your property. These include:
- general advice about how to add value to your investment and capitalising on smart options
- practical advice about the best way to site your additional dwelling to maximise independence
