granny flats inclusions FAQs

Can I Expand My Granny Flat With a Carport, Garage, or Alfresco Area?

Yes! In many cases, you can add functional outdoor spaces like carports, garages, or alfresco areas to your Granny Flat without impacting the allowable floor area. This expands the overall functionality and potential rental income of your investment. However, it’s important to ensure your property adheres to local council regulations.

Absolutely! At Vivo Granny Flats, our mission is to deliver the residence you want and to meet your requirements.

Therefore, we offer a multitude of options — allowing you to select numerous elements such as paint finish colours, electrical socket locations, and tiles and splashbacks.

 

Can Utilities Be Individually Metered for Granny Flat?

Indeed! We can ensure your water, electricity, and gas are separately metered. This is particularly important if you are planning on renting out your Granny Flat.

 

Do You Undertake a Checklist After Completion?

Absolutely! To ensure your Granny Flat internal and external inclusions are exceptionally finished — we complete an exhaustive checklist after completion. This delivers you with immense peace of mind — knowing your new build is ready to move into!
