We’ve put together a great FAQ section on granny flats! At Credible Homes, we recognize that building a granny flat comes with a myriad of questions - from investment potential and costs to regulatory requirements and design possibilities.

Whether you're a first-time builder or a seasoned investor, our aim is to demystify the process, addressing your concerns and guiding you towards making the best decision for your property in NSW. Let's explore the essentials of building your ideal granny flat.

  • Granny flats can be an excellent investment, offering potential rental income and increasing property value. They're also a cost-effective solution for expanding living space.

  • The cost varies based on the design and size. Because we are also building designers, we’ll work to find a solution that meets your budget.

  • This depends on local council regulations and your land size. Generally, a granny flat can be up to 60 square metres. We can help design a flat that maximizes your available space.

  • Yes, under certain conditions like land size, zoning, and council regulations. We’ll take the stress out for you navigating these rules to ensure your build is compliant.


    Here’s a few things we consider:
    While designing your granny flat, it's not typically necessary to plan for added parking. However, it's important to consider space for a patio and landscaped area, which are essential for creating a main private open space for residents. You'll need to ensure a setback of 0.9m from side fences and 3m from the rear fence.

    Building setbacks, which can vary based on subdivisions, are determined by land developers and local planning and zoning authorities. These setbacks are crucial for ensuring structures like granny flats receive adequate sunlight and ventilation.

    We’ll ensure your granny flat is not only beautiful but also compliant with all regulations and local laws.

  • Council approval is necessary for granny flats to ensure safety and compliance with local laws. We handle all approval processes for you.

  • Typically, a 12-metre frontage is required, but this can vary. We'll confirm specific requirements for your property.

  • This depends on your existing property and needs. Both options have benefits, and we can advise you on the best choice.

  • The added value depends on the quality of the build and local market conditions. A well-designed and constructed granny flat can substantially increase property value.
