Granny Flats

Q: What is a granny flat?

A granny flat is typically a self-contained housing unit located on the same block as a single-family dwelling. Whether you’re an investor looking to drive additional income from your property, a parent wanting a separate space for their growing teenage family or a retiree thinking about their future – smart people come to Acrow Investments to get their granny flat project off the ground. Investing in a granny flat is a smart, cost-effective way to drive additional income from your investment property or create additional value for your home.
