Sydney Trends- Granny Flats in 2013

SYDNEY GRANNY FLATS – A RISING TREND THROUGH 2012 and into 2013?

 

We have seen a rising trend in granny flats being constructed in Sydney NSW, through 2012 and now, as 2013 gets a start, even greater growth is indicated. Investors, mums and dads and teenager’s retreats- across the board, we’re seeing an asymptotic rise in the number of granny flat enquiries in Sydney and even rural NSW through our website and general enquiries by phone.

So what does all of this mean?

1. Granny-Flat-Friendly Properties (see HERE), are becoming more popular, particularly in NSW Western Sydney, where property prices are lower and blocks of land are also larger, have easier access and where rental demand is quite high.

2. Banks are set to lend more money in 2013 and as interest rates drop, we’re seeing more property Owners investing in their existing properties, avoiding stamp duties on new property purchases in the process

3. Popularity of Granny flats is rising as investors recognise that secondary-dwellings are excellent rental-income producing investments. In this sense, many of our investors are protecting their investment by designing and siting their granny flat to be attractive to tenants for today and well into the coming decades. We are extremely sensitive to this and we provide advice in accordance with these objectives. We often advise against development if it wont result in adequate visual and acoustic privacy for tenants.

4. Conversions Approvals (garages or sheds converted into-granny flats) are also on the rise as home owners see the benefit of providing accommodation for their ageing parents, their growing teenagers and even for investment purposes.
