Your location will impact the cost of building your granny flat, the method of how it is built, as well as which council regulations apply. Different councils have different regulations for backyard granny flats so it helps to do some research into your local council’s laws and regulations or simply ask your granny flat builder.
The access route to your home will also determine whether your new granny flat can be built off-site and transported in or not.

When it comes to affording the things you want for a home, it helps to budget a little bit extra for things you may not have thought about that come after your home is built. These can be items such as furniture, outdoor additions and utility connection costs. This way you don’t skimp on the things that are important and give you a little peace of mind that you have something put aside for anything that may pop up along the way.
