Granny Annexes / Garden Annexes

It’s a Family House on Your Land

Granny Annexes & Garden Annexes

Garden Annexes / Granny Annexes have become increasingly popular with home owners across the country. Annexes are a great cost effective choice not only to keep elderly parents close by, but also for young adults and young families struggling to get onto the property ladder.

All the Granny and Garden Annexes we build are permanent buildings which comply with building regulations and will also add value to your property along with providing that independent living accommodation, family members can call home.

When it comes to size shape and layout, we have produced a number of designs clients can either choose from, alter or draw inspiration from. Sitting down with one of our building designers will give you the opportunity to design the perfect annexe which Advanced will custom build for you.

Our Annexes are essentially ‘smaller houses and homes’ classed as an annexe under planning laws. You can choose to have your annexe constructed in either block work or construction grade timber frame. The finish can be brickwork, render, tile, cladding or even stone work to match your existing building, blend in with your garden or become a stand out show piece.

The service we offer is a complete turn key service, from idea to handing over the keys to your new annexe property. Every project has a dedicated project manger who will oversee, organise and manage the entire project from start to finish. Access to your dedicated project manager is available to clients 7 days a week from 8am to 7pm everyday whilst a project is in action.

Our buildings will require building control and so will any building that plans to be slept in or holds sleeping accommodation. We handle the entire building control process for all our clients as part of our service.

Costs – is a granny annexe / garden annexe a good investment?

Our Granny Annexes & Garden Annexes are excellent value for money, annexes with a 28m2 footprint start from only £50,000 completed and ready to move into. The average price for a one bedroom apartment in the southeast is currently £120,000 or a £600 monthly rental. In this example an annexe as an alternative would save at least £70,000. Compared to a one bedroom bungalow, the savings are even greater.

By also taking into account legal fees, property valuations, mortgage applications and other costs associated with purchasing a property it’s clear to see why annexes have become the sensible option.

Will an annexe increase my house value?

Yes it will add value to your house. By Constructing an annexe not only will you increase the value of your property, you will also make it more attractive to potential buyers in the future especially to those families with teenage children, adult children and large families.

All in all… in monetary terms, annexes are a great investment that make sense financially. Upon survey of your property, area and details of your annexe, we’ll be able to give you a more thorough indication and numbers of how investing in an annexe will positively increase your particular house value.
