3 Things to Consider When Building a Granny Flat

If you have a great block and you’re thinking of building a granny flat, or you are wanting to purchase a property with the option of adding a granny flat later, you will need to be aware of some of the risks involved in managing the tenants in the main home.

Here are 3 things to consider:

  • the wording in the lease agreement must be sound. Something as simple as a missed sentence can be the difference between a costly mistake or protection for you as an owner

  • get the site fully ready before you even put the tenants into the main home to ensure there is no future miscommunication or issues
