Hey Guys
Names James, im 21 yo,
I have recently been thinking about building a 60m2 2 bedroom minor dwelling behind my parents house in Howick.
I am waiting for a call from the council in regards to the size of the land and existing property, although i have been given a rough figure of 800m2 for the land.
I have also found out the following through the Manukau city district plan map:
It is situated in the main residential zone, in an area where drainage infrastructure is very limited. It is also situated in the special (front yard) policy area 3 which means yard table rule 13.11.1.5.1 applies, although i do not think this effects me as the dwelling will be built behind the existing house.
I have read through some previous threads about Minor dwellings, and gathered that the total cost to build the minor dwelling including council costs etc would surface at around $150k, these were old threads though, would this still be an accurate figure?
I am planning on living in the 2 bedroom house paying rental rate until the build cost is paid off, then hoping to make a small profit when my parents sell the property.
Couple of questions,
Is this a good idea?
How much will the addition of a 2 bedroom minor dwelling add to the value of the property?
Look forward to hearing from you guys.
Cheers
James
