Granny Flats And All the Ins and Outs of A Granny Flat

Today, people are being faced with very tough decisions as to what to do with their aging parents or how to help their children finance their own place. Money is just not as abundant as it once was and it is time to get a little creative to try and solve these problems. Granny Flats may just be the answer that you are looking for.

Basically, Granny Flats are moveable homes that are prefabricated and can be placed just about anywhere. Think of them as real life Barbie houses. They are generally small enough to fit into a backyard and models like the “Willow” will have everything that anyone could ever need to be comfortable.

If the backyard home is going to have several people living in it, upgrades are available that will allow a little more space and some more creature comforts. A model very similar to the “Willow” is available for an additional $7,000 and they continue to go up in price from there. While this is only one model, there are plenty more to choose from.

Granny Flats are available both in pre-fabricated and kit forms. Smaller cabins like the “Willow” are usually pre-fabricated. Larger units with two or more bedrooms are generally kits. All options can be modified to accommodate wheelchair access. Customization to fit specific needs is also available.

For your money, you will be getting a completely ready to move in unit. Windows, kitchen and bathroom will be completely ready to go. While the upfront cost may seem like a bit much, you have to consider that once the home is in place, it is ready with little else to do except move in your own furniture and put some food in the fridge.

For whatever reason that you choose to look into Granny Flats, know that they are not limited to dear old mom. It would also be a great way to give your college aged child a place of their own while still being able to keep an eye on them. Another purpose would be to put one down on a piece of land that you own instead of absorbing the huge costs involved with getting a house built. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.
