Should You Add a Granny Flat to Your Property?

Granny flats are in high demand, offering investors an excellent way to boost rental yields and maximise property value. But before you dive in, there are key considerations—especially when it comes to access, financing, and bank valuations.

Key Points in This Video:

Access Matters – Poor access makes leasing harder and limits tenant interest.

Using Equity to Build – Many investors can fund a granny flat using existing equity with no extra capital required.

Tax Benefits – New granny flats come with depreciation benefits, reducing taxable income.

Bank Valuations – Lenders assess properties differently based on rental income, access, and title structure.

Financing Challenges – Some banks may limit borrowing capacity or undervalue the property if the house and granny flat share a title.
