Two Misconceptions About Granny Flats
Modular homes or prefabricated homes such as granny flats are relatively new introductions to the housing industry. A lot of people look over its potential and go for traditional housing because of the misconceptions surrounding this kind of residence.
To avoid making the same mistake as most homeowners, it’s crucial that you understand just what exactly granny flats are supposed to be like before dismissing it as just another cultural fad.
1) Granny Flats Are Not Real Houses
The granny flat is not a fad—it’s a modern solution to increasing costs of basic living. A granny flat is a standard home, complete with all the spaces for living, built in a more compact space. It is no way designed to be a house 2.0. Everything that you need—from a bathroom to a bedroom, to even a laundry and a patio—can be included in your own granny flat.
These spaces are often extremely customizable. With companies like us offering hundreds of designs, you are bound to find one that can include as many home innovations as you like. The point of owning a granny flat is to live exactly the way you would in a traditional housing, but in a more sustainable way.
2) Granny Flats Are Not Permanent Houses
Part of the reason why sceptics tend to think granny flats aren’t real houses is that the cost of making them is so much cheaper than a traditional home. For a fraction of a cost (hint: just less than AU$100,000), you can have your own granny flat.
This disbelief is understandable. A lot of so-called granny flat specialists capitalize on affordability rather than quality. Instead of building permanent homes, they fashion houses from the cheapest materials possible. They treat it as a temporary home and not a lasting one. As a result, these companies create granny flats that don’t stand well, which is damaging to the reputation of granny flats in general.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][fusion_text]
