Is building a second dwelling or granny flat right for you?
Rental Income
One of the primary benefits is the potential to generate rental income. Homeowners can rent out the second dwelling or granny flat to tenants, providing a steady source of additional revenue.
Increased Privacy
Homeowners can provide their adult children with a place to live while they save for their own homes or establish their careers.
Increased Property Value
Adding a second dwelling can increase the overall value of the property. This can be especially beneficial if homeowners plan to sell in the future, as it can lead to higher resale values.
Affordable Housing Solution
In areas with high housing costs like the Sunshine Coast, a second dwelling can serve as an affordable housing solution for those who rent it.
Accommodating Family Members
Homeowners can use the second dwelling to accommodate family members, such as adult children, elderly parents, or relatives. This provides a sense of independence while keeping loved ones close.
Flexibility and Versatility
Homeowners have the flexibility to use the second dwelling for various purposes, adapting it to their changing needs over time.
