How much value does a granny flat add to a property?

Who has not, at some time or other, longed for a granny flat or studio at the bottom of the garden? Especially whenever the in-laws announce a visit, a teenager's music makes the home foundations vibrate or you're simply not seeing eye to eye with a loved one.
But does the prospect of a ready refuge make sound financial sense?
"It can do – but only as long as it's legal!" says Ron Gedeon, principal of RPG Valier’s. "If it has all the compliance paperwork, then it can add value. Often it'll add a premium of 20 to 30 per cent of what it cost."
Most of that value will be in the convenience of having a self-contained studio to put visitors, members of the family, a home office, the au pair, careers for an elderly home-owner or paying tenants to earn some extra income. Depending on the location, a decent granny flat can be rented out for between $200 and $600 a week.
"That can be quite an attractive return on the investment," says buyers' agent Jacque Parker of House Search Australia. "In some areas, their popularity has really taken off, and they can add value to a property as people like the idea of a second income."
