Is a granny flat a good option for the elderly or retirees?
There is no question that home prices as well as rental costs have soared over the past decade in Australia. According to Mortgage Choice, housing prices in Perth have increase more then 80% since 2020 making it the fifth most expensive capital in Australia. Lower-middle income households are struggling financially and often the elderly are at risk of home related financial struggles.
Recently the Western Australia government even launched a loan assistance program for modular homes to fast-track families into property ownership.
When it comes to the elderly or those looking to retire, the question always remains, can I afford living for x more years at a level I am comfortable at. Can I afford all the health care, general living costs and most of all, housing expenses.
Whether you’re looking to retire, sell your house and scale down or want your parents or grandparents to stay on your current property close to you, granny flats are often a very cost-effective solution to consider. Here’s why:

Low maintenance
As you get older, you don’t want to spend your days doing constant maintenance on your house. You want to get out there and live! Our cabins are very easy to maintain and have very little maintenance compared to traditional homes. With a smaller property, cleaning your home is also much easier! We even offer a 6 month maintenance warranty and 6-year structural warranty.

Granny flats offer high value for money compared to traditional homes, leaving money in the bank for you to keep a high standard of living. You don’t need to take out massive home loans from the bank and hope that your pension can cover the payments.
