As people’s age, their needs for housing can change. Many homes were not built in consideration of older adults, who can be susceptible to falls and social isolation, particularly if children and family live far away. Recognizing this, many communities have turned to a novel solution: the accessory dwelling unit. Also known as the “granny flat”, the ADU helps homeowners add a second unit for their parents, children, or other company.

About Granny Flats?

A granny flat can be defined as a fully self-contained home extension that is built on the same plot of land that the main home is.  Essentially, it is another, smaller home on your property.  Usually, the granny flat is located to the rear of the main home, and it can share the backyard with the main home or have its own section of the yard fenced off.  Local councils will dictate what the maximum size of a granny flat can be (usually no more than 60 square meters).

Who are Granny Flats Suited To?

The beauty of granny flats is that they are so versatile in terms of who can occupy them. They are enduringly popular for ageing people (parents and grandparents) as they are still able to keep their independence while still staying close to family for comfort and support.  However, granny flats are also suited to children that are moving out for the first time, or for family members or close friends. Granny flats are also becoming a popular investment choice as homeowners can easily rent them out for extra income.
