Discover how Granny Flat investments are helping clients achieve huge yields and build long-term wealth.
Amidst the current housing crisis, where construction timelines have blown out and access to finance is challenging, hearing of the wins by some are even more precious than ever before. At BCC Homes
there's nothing we love more than our clients reaching out to tell us how happy they are with their new home, it makes us feel grateful for the amazing clients we seem to attract but also validates that we really are helping people achieve their goals – either building their dream homes or providing smart investment outcomes.
Each client has a different objective, and it is our job to work out the desires and concerns of our clients right from the first phone call, making sure we understand their needs, taste, budget and what their intended usage is. When we collaborate effectively, from concept to handover, we are creating Granny Flats that fit perfectly into the lives of our clients.
We’ve had a few clients who have decided to build a Granny Flat for investment purposes and have been floored by their incredible rental yields! This shows that the quality, design and delivery of each home is exceeding our clients' expectations!
As mentioned, we love to hear the success stories, and we’ve had two amazing examples from interstate investors share their outcome with us recently and the following yields that have been achieved:
The first client who recently built a 60m2 2 bed/1 bath Granny Flat in a central Gold Coast location has achieved a 17.5% rental yield, and
Another client who built a 74m2 2 bed/1 bath Granny Flat near the beach enjoy just over 20% yield.
When we hear that some of our completed projects are attracting higher rents than some traditional housing (e.g. 4 bed/2bath) in the same neighbourhood, this indicates that our level of finish and inclusions is attractive to tenants and is creating value in the marketplace.
A high rental yield is so important for investors, it shows that the property is a sound investment and actively contributing to the client's future wealth. It thrills us to know that we are helping our clients achieve their financial goals!
In addition to the high rental yield, our clients aren’t paying agent’s fees, stamp duty, nor are they competing with other buyers in the current ‘sellers' market’ – they are making use of the land they already own. The investment is small, and the gains are almost historic!
There are tenants out there who see value in our quality and workmanship, and we all know there is an incredible shortage of decent rentals in the SEQ market. We have proven to our clients that we can help them create, or further develop, their property portfolio with the humble Granny Flat.
Don’t waste your time getting into the market. If you want to invest, and a high rental yield is your strategy, look no further than building your Granny Flat with BCC Homes. Call us now on 1300 109 329 to see how we can help.
If you've started collecting quotes for your Granny Flat, you've probably noticed prices can vary by tens of thousands of dollars. So how do you know which quote represents the best value? Here's the thing: not all quotes are built the same way. Two builders can quote the same project, but what they include can be completely different. Understanding these differences is the key to making a confident, informed decision. Let's break down what to look for. 1. Ask for a Detailed Inclusions List Some builders quote only the basic structure, while others include everything from design and approvals to quality finishes and fixtures. The difference can be significant – sometimes $20,000–$40,000 worth of items. Always ask for a detailed inclusions list so you can see exactly what's covered. If something isn't written down, make sure to ask about it. The more detail you have upfront, the easier it is to compare your options fairly. Tip: If something isn’t listed, it’s probably not included. 2. Understand Your Site Conditions Every site is unique. A flat, easily accessible block will have different requirements than one that's sloped or has access challenges. Generic quotes based on "typical conditions" might not reflect your actual situation. At BCC Homes, we never offer a fixed-price quote until Sam has assessed your site. This way, you get an accurate number based on your specific property – giving you confidence in the price from day one. 3. Clarify What's Included in Design and Approvals Some builders charge separately for design work, plan revisions, and approvals, while others include these as part of the process. At BCC Homes, we include design and approvals with 3 plan revisions built in. Understanding what's covered here not only saves you time and potential surprises later but also helps you budget accurately and ensures your design will meet all council, energy efficiency, and bushfire requirements before construction begins. 4. Look at the Builder's Track Record Beyond price, consider the builder's communication style, reviews, and completed projects. A builder who's clear and transparent during the quoting process will give you confidence throughout the entire build. Look for someone who answers your questions thoroughly and helps you understand what to expect. At BCC Homes, we’re happy to walk you through our inclusions and help you compare your quotes line by line, so you know exactly what you’re getting. The Bottom Line The goal isn't necessarily to find the cheapest quote – it's to find the best value. That means working with a builder who's transparent, includes everything you need from the start, and helps you understand every step of the process - no hidden extras, no guesswork. At BCC Homes, we're here to help you understand your quotes and make informed decisions. We're happy to walk you through our inclusions line by line, so you can compare your options with confidence.
