Perth investors: could a granny flat make your rental work harder?

For many investment properties, the backyard is the most under-used asset on the title.

A custom granny flat adds a second rental income from the same block. Depending on build cost, finance and rent achieved, that extra income can help close the gap on a negatively geared property, and in some cases tip it into positive cash flow.

Why investors are adding a second dwelling:
• A second weekly rent from land you already own
• No need to buy another block to grow your portfolio
• A permanent, quality dwelling that adds to the property
• Two homes designed to lease separately, with their own access, privacy and outdoor space

In WA, a granny flat can be leased to a tenant unrelated to the main house, so more investment properties have real potential than owners realise.

At ANWEST Lifestyle, every granny flat is custom designed around your block, your budget and your investment goals, not squeezed into a standard plan.

Adding a second dwelling to your property can be about much more than simply creating extra space.

For some families, it means giving parents or adult children a beautiful, private home while keeping everyone close.

For property investors, it can mean making better use of an existing block and creating an additional rental income stream, without necessarily needing to purchase another property.

At ANWEST Lifestyle, we design and build custom secondary dwellings onsite, tailored to the property, the people who will live there and what you want the investment to achieve.

- Family living, create independence while staying connected
- Investment, unlock more potential from an existing property
- Future flexibility, family today, rental income tomorrow
- Custom designed, not a one-size-fits-all modular solution

With thoughtful design, a second dwelling can feel like a genuine home, not something simply added to the backyard.

Thinking about what your property could accommodate?

Building in the Hills isn't the same as building on a flat suburban block.
Slope. Granite. Bushfire ratings. Septic instead of scheme sewer. A driveway that a concrete truck has opinions about.
For a lot of builders, that list is a reason to quote high or walk away. For us it's just Tuesday.
We build ancillary dwellings right across Kalamunda, Mundaring, Roleystone, Gooseberry Hill, Lesmurdie, Carmel, Darlington and Glen Forrest — and every one of those areas has its own quirks. Middle Helena catchment rules in Gooseberry Hill. Heritage character in Darlington. Elevated BAL zones and granite outcrops through Roleystone.
Our steel frame and Colorbond system is genuinely well suited to bushfire-rated builds, which often means BAL compliance costs less than it would in brick and tile. Slope gets assessed on the first site visit and priced into the fixed contract — no surprise variations later for conditions we already knew about.
If your block is in the Hills, we know what it's going to throw at us.

Currently working on a Backyard transformation for a client wanting to create a Wellness Studio in their backyard that could one day convert to a studio dwelling. With the right design and planning from the outset we can create a base structure that can suit both objectives, with just a few changes down the track to convert the flow from integrated with pool for the wellness studio to integrated with the garden for studio.

Thinking about building a granny flat or sub-dividing?

I recently sat down with Michael from That Backyard Property Podcast for an in-depth conversation about what homeowners in WA actually need to know before they build.

We discuss:

- The new WA planning changes
- Who granny flats are really suited for
- Rental income opportunities
- Common mistakes people make
- Custom-built vs modular

If you're considering unlocking the potential in your backyard, I think you'll find plenty of practical advice.

Think Your Block Is Too Small for a Granny Flat? Think Again.
One of the biggest myths we hear is:
"My block isn't big enough."
The reality is... you might be surprised.
Thanks to recent changes to WA planning rules, many Perth properties that previously weren't considered suitable for a granny flat may now have real potential.
At ANWEST Lifestyle, we look at much more than just land size.
We assess:
- Position of your existing home
- Side access to the backyard
- Sewer & service locations
- Site levels and drainage
- Privacy & orientation
- Your long-term goals
We've assessed blocks where owners were convinced nothing could be built... only to discover they had an excellent opportunity.
We've also advised clients not to build a granny flat because subdivision or another strategy would deliver a better outcome.
Our advice is always based on what's best for you, not just what we can build.
Whether you're looking to:
- Generate rental income
- House ageing parents or adult children
- Increase your property's value
- Make better use of your backyard..it all starts with understanding what's possible.

How Much Does a Granny Flat Cost in Perth? (2026 Guide)
One of the first questions we get asked is:
"How much does a granny flat actually cost?"
The honest answer is... it depends on your block, your design and the level of finishes you choose.
As a general guide for a quality, custom-built granny flat in Perth:
- 1 Bedroom – From $130,000
- 2 Bedroom – From $165,000
- 3 Bedroom – From $210,000
Don't forget to budget for site works.
Depending on your property, you'll also need to allow approximately $20,000–$30,000 for items such as:
✅ Site survey & engineering
✅ Soil testing
✅ Earthworks
✅ Concrete slab
✅ Sewer, water & power connections
✅ Stormwater drainage
Every property is different, which is why there's no one-size-fits-all price.
More importantly... what are you actually buying?
When comparing quotes, make sure you're comparing like for like.
Some builders supply transportable or modular homes, while others build custom homes on-site.
At ANWEST Lifestyle, every granny flat is individually designed to suit your property and your goals. We build on-site using engineered BlueScope steel framing, creating a home that integrates with your existing property and is built for long-term durability.
Whether you're looking to:
✔ Create rental income
✔ House ageing parents or adult children
✔ Increase your property's functionality
✔ Add long-term value..we can help you understand what's possible on your block.
If you're thinking about building, we'd be happy to provide an obligation-free feasibility discussion.

Should I Build a Granny Flat… or Wait to Subdivide?
Many WA homeowners are asking us the same question since the proposed R20 planning changes were announced.
The answer is… it depends.
If your goal is to create rental income quickly, a granny flat may be the best option.
If you’re planning to accommodate family members, a granny flat can provide a cost-effective solution while keeping loved ones close.
If your property may become eligible for subdivision, it’s worth understanding both options before making a decision.
The important thing to remember is that not every 700m² block will automatically be suitable for subdivision, and subdivision often comes with significant costs for surveying, services, approvals and construction.
For many homeowners, a custom-designed granny flat may still provide the strongest return with less complexity.
At ANWEST Lifestyle, we’ll help you understand the pros and cons of both options, so you can make the right decision for your property and your long-term goals.
Thinking about your backyard’s potential? We’d be happy to chat through your options. Send us a message.
