Granny flats have officially entered a new investment era with the new budget.
An opportunity to increase income with a second income on same block. If its your PPOR there is no CGT no inheritance tax.
Today’s granny flats are modern, high-demand spaces quietly generating serious extra income for homeowners.
With rental demand rising and housing affordability changing the way people live, more Australians are turning unused backyard space into a smart long-term asset or they are becoming luxury little homes for mum or dad to downsize to.
A well-designed granny flat can create an additional rental stream, boost overall property value and give you more flexibility with how you use your property.
And the best part?
You’re making your block work harder without buying a second investment property.
If you’ve been looking at your backyard wondering whether it could be doing more for you financially… this is your sign.
