Will a Granny Annexe add value to my house?

This is a question we get asked a lot, and the short answer is… yes! For homebuyers these days, access to separate extra living space is a major selling point. And when it comes to driving interest in your property, a garden annexe packs the kind of punch a loft conversion or extension simply can’t compete with. So if you’re looking to expand your own living space right now, while still keeping an eye on selling up in the future, here’s how your granny annexe could help pay its keep.

Why do homebuyers love granny annexes?

Whether you call it a granny annexe, or granny flat, prospective homeowners are going to see only one thing – flexible self-contained living space that offers a solution to their needs.

For the growing number of people daunted by the rising costs of care, access to an already existing granny annexe means elderly relatives, or loved ones with complex needs, can be accommodated close by, yet still enjoy relative independence and privacy.

Other homebuyers put a high value on the prospect of securing a luxury-scale home office away from the hustle and bustle of the house, or extra living space for younger family members who are working to save for a home of their own.

And let’s face it, some homebuyers won’t be able to resist the opportunity to create that hobby or games area they’ve always dreamed about (No, we aren’t going to call it a ‘man cave’ but I’m sure you know what we mean).

As a multi-functional independent space, a granny annexe can adapt to many different uses. And that’s what makes them so irresistible to homebuyers.

How much value could a garden annexe add to my property?
