I have property on the radar for personal living.
Its about 15 years old, has a nice outlook, has a purpose built Granny flat on the other side of the Garaging, so attached but separated noise wise. (not just a relocatable minor dwelling) that is 1 bedroom and rents for $350.
However upstairs would be unused by us, downstairs is huge enough for our needs, upstairs has a big bedroom with an ensuite including a big corner jet bath, and another room which was planned as a living/rumpus area, its huge. It has its own deck and is nice and tidy. BUT it isnt Consented as a minor dwelling and it doesnt have a kitchen as yet. Also, Im yet to figure out how to seperate it from the main house, I may have to lose some space by putting up another wall as hallway leading to the stairs.
The main house is rented for $850pw, if I was to live in it I would consider $350 again fair for the upstairs.
How much generally is consent with Auck Council? What would be the minimum cost for a DIY kithen? Getting water would be the main issue but I think if it was on the outside wall of the ensuite that might lower the plumbing costs.
My other option would be to just rent it as a boarder or possibly AirBnb etc, its in a seaside part of Auck with nice beaches and cafes within walking distance.
