Ipswich Granny Flats
Our Queensland clients have asked that we help with their Ipswich granny flats particularly with regard to recent legislation changes in this area. As a trusted name and the largest granny flat approvals service in NSW, we are pleased to announce our renowned granny flat services to the Ipswich region. Ipswich granny flats are now allowed to be rented out to tenants, where previously they could only be used to house family members.
The huge Ipswich region has seen a major boom since 2007 and is part of the western corridor, the fastest growing region in Australia. Ipswich City Council has recently allowed the use of granny flats for non family members which has created the opportunity to now maximise the investment potential of your existing rental properties.
Ipswich Council’s Granny Flat Rules (they call them auxiliary dwellings) have recently been relaxed to allow granny flats to be rented out as an investment. This is the only Queensland Council (as we speak) which allow granny flats to be rented out. There are rumours that Logan City Council will soon follow suit!
