What are the current granny flat trends in Manukau?

In Manukau and throughout the greater Auckland region, we’re seeing less ‘grannies’ in modern granny flats and more teenagers. Why? Beyond independence, it’s about creative freedom. 
Granny flats have become more than an additional room for accommodation; they offer a fun opportunity to test out interior trends and bold designs that you wouldn’t in your primary home. 
With that said, feature neon lighting is a key interior trend for 2021. It makes for vibrant, eye-catching wall art and is paired well with modern tones like muted navy or deep grey walls. 
Hoping to use your granny flat build as a secondary form of income? You’re best exploring granny flat interior design ideas that will appeal to renters. Design choices such as simple, clean colours in minimalist and scandinavian styles tend to be most popular. These create a more expansive feel while allowing potential renters a neutral background to incorporate their decor and make it feel like home. 
With council restrictions limiting granny flat builds to 60m2, there are also many clever space-saving solutions to consider. Take Murphy beds or loft beds, for example. These fixtures allow for much larger liveable space in smaller studios. 
Unsure of what’s suitable for your granny flat? Our Renovations Consultants would be happy to assist with your renovation project. Get in touch to arrange your consultation today.

How much will it cost to build a granny flat?

The cost of building a granny flat will vary according to the size, materials chosen, and labour required. While some decisions allow variations to meet different budgets, others depend on the existing structure.
For example, while granny flats only require assistance from a couple of construction professionals, other builds require plumbers, builders, and electricians. It all depends on what you’re working with.
However, for a basic guide, expect the cost of building a nice granny flat to start from $120,000*, moving upwards depending on specifications. 
We always recommend that you view your granny flat as an investment in your property’s overall value. So take the time and do it right; it will save you doubt and costs later on down the track. 
*Costs are rough estimates and are subject to change. For a fixed-quote accurate to your specific project, please consult your local Refresh Renovations Consultant.

Will Refresh take care of any required council consent? 

We understand that throughout Manukau, tight restrictions around land development and getting council consents can make the idea of building a granny flat overwhelming.
That’s why when you partner with us, we’ll handle any council applications, consents, and requirements needed for your project. We really do make everything as simple as possible.
