Adding value to your property is something you should try to do, but the trick is to do it in ways you can enjoy right now, before you even think of selling. Granny flats are a great way to add more floor space to your property, create a secondary income through apps like Airbnb and cater to any guests or family who may be visiting. But granny flats can be expensive to install and can take years to get right. Luckily there is a new way to get your granny flat installed for less than the cost of a new car.

A Granny Flat DIY Kit Saves You Money

Granny flat kits are a great way to save money by getting all your materials from one vendor. These businesses are able to offer cheaper rates because they buy in bulk. That means the cost of materials is lower, but the question still remains, how do you reduce the cost of labour? Now you can buy a granny flat DIY kit and do the vast bulk of the work yourself or with a friend. In this way, a granny flat DIY kit cuts down on the two most expensive areas of getting a granny flat and lets you get your hands on one much easier than ever before. 

Option For Professional Installation Still Available

If you are older, less mobile or simply cannot be bothered to assemble your granny flat DIY kit, then you can still get it professionally done for a bit more money. You can assemble these granny flat kits yourself because they don't require council permission to build (although you should always check your state and local laws to verify this is true for your location), but that doesn't mean you are forced to do it that way. Many construction contractors and handymen will do the job for you in a couple of days at the most.

Multipurpose Building

The best part about getting a granny flat is you can use it for whatever purpose you most need. No room to work out? Turn it into a home gym. Can't find any peace and quiet to work? Simply take your work into the granny flat and make it a study. Then, if you ever plan on selling the property, you can quickly adjust it back to a layout that is more commercially attractive, like a guestroom or storage facility. The possibilities really are limited only to your imagination, and the costs have never been lower.
