So can you build a granny flat on a duplex? My name is Colin Fragar from Council Approval Group. So if you’re asking this question, you’ve already come a long way. You probably already either own a duplex or you’re about to purchase a duplex. The answer, sadly, is no you cannot.
Alternatives to a Granny Flat On a Duplex
However, the answer probably depends on a few things. So generally, no a granny flat cannot be built on a duplex because you already have two properties on one title. So a granny flat adding a third property to one title is not going to work.However, there are some kind of workarounds that we can do for you, but it does depend on your property. For example, if the duplex was subdivided, so you only have one property now on one title, then there may be an opportunity for you to have a granny flat. It will again depend on how that duplex is set up, if there’s enough room, and if the local planning law allows it.
You are probably pushing the envelope a little bit, but that’s what we specialize in.We help property owners like you to maximize rental return. And you never know maybe there’s something even better we can do than just a granny flat for you.
