Minor Dwelling builders Auckland

 Whether it’s an investment move, a solution for a teenager needing their own space or a way to look after your parents or in-laws, building a minor dwelling is a win-win solution to a myriad of financial and living situations. Refresh Renovations North Shore can provide you with a design and build which perfectly suits your needs.

A minor dwelling is versatile and can be used for whatever you need. You could work from home in your office or studio, have a detached living space for adult children or older family members, or you could even rent it out.

The introduction of the Auckland Unitary Plan has made it easier to add a second dwelling to your property. In general, you can build a minor dwelling if you’re in the following zones:

  • Residential Single House Zone
  • Residential Large Lot Zone
  • Residential Rural and Coastal Settlement Zone

While each zone has slightly different regulations, the maximum size of a minor dwelling in all three zones is 65m2. Go to Auckland Council’s website to find out which zone you’re in and what you can do on your property.

Add property value

In Auckland’s property market, a minor dwelling is an attractive proposition for many buyers. It gives them the option of multi-generations sharing the cost of purchase or taking on tenants to help pay the mortgage.

Rent it out!

Earn extra income by listing your minor dwelling on Airbnb or renting it out to long-term tenants. If you have an investment property, you could earn two rental incomes by adding a second residence.
