Building your own home is a big move.

Building a home with a granny flat? That’s strategy.

A house and granny flat package gives you two dwellings on one block, a primary residence plus a self-contained secondary home. That could mean extra income, space for family, or flexibility for the future.

The opportunity is exciting.
That’s where we come in.

What is a house and granny flat package?

A house and granny flat package includes:

  • A primary residence (your main home)
  • A self-contained granny flat (2 bedrooms)
  • Shared land on one title
  • Separate living, kitchen, backyards and bathroom facilities

Depending on your design and council requirements, the granny flat may be attached or detached.

In simple terms?
You’re building flexibility into your property from day one.

Why buyers are choosing granny flat builds

Extra rental income

One of the biggest reasons buyers choose this strategy is cash flow.

You can live in the main home and rent the granny flat, or rent both dwellings (if zoning allows), or use the rental income to help support your mortgage repayments.

Done right, this can significantly reduce your holding costs and improve long-term returns.

We’ll help you understand what’s realistic, not just what looks good on a brochure.

Multigenerational living

Parents moving in.
Adult kids staying longer.
Guests who need space.

A granny flat gives everyone independence — while keeping family close.

It’s one property, but with breathing room built in.

Future flexibility

Life changes.

A granny flat can start as a rental, then become: a home office, a studio, a teenage retreat, a downsizer space later in life.

You’re not just building for today.

You’re building options.

The part most buyers don’t see

Granny flat packages can look simple on paper.

But here’s what many buyers aren’t told upfront:

  • Not all blocks allow a secondary dwelling
  • Council requirements vary
  • Site costs can increase with dual plumbing and services
  • Some builders exclude key items in “from” pricing
  • Rental return estimates are often optimistic

This is where having an advocate matters.

We don’t just compare floorplans.
We compare inclusions, builder track records, construction methods, timelines and total cost, so you’re seeing the full picture.

We work for you, not the builder.
