14.01.2022 HOW TO ADD VALUE TO YOUR PROPERTY It's so CRUCIAL to think long-term when building your own granny flat Every choice your make is going to affect the value of your property down the track! Here are 6 FREE TIPS to help you design your secondary home:... 1. Complement the architecture of the existing home Use similar colours, roof lines and styling 2. Embrace a contemporary design If you have a traditional looking home, you can meet halfway! 3. Take advantage of any views or vistas Even if it's small, you can make the most of it 4. Ensure it's both private and social Humans are social creatures, but we don't like people looking in our windows! 5. Make it accessible Ensure the home is easy to access for anybody 6. Don't over or under capitalise This could actually DE-VALUE your property At the end of the day you need a designer/builder who's willing to CUSTOM DESIGN everything you need Want to talk to us about customising your own granny flat?

01.01.2022 HOME LOAN TIPS FROM A MORTGAGE BROKER Did you know buying a kit home or transportable home isn't as straight forward as it might seem? That's because the banks don't finance them like normal traditionally built houses! That's the warning from mortgage broker Ryan Carter... Going for a modular home can seem like a more affordable option, but Ryan says the banks won't give you a typical mortgage until it's already built on site This means you'll need to borrow the cash beforehand to pay for it! Before you go down this route, it's best to find out the facts! Or else you might get burned In many cases, going for a traditional build ends up being a much more simple and less stressful process Want to check out everything Ryan had to say?
