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.

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.

What
are the benefits of including a second building on a property?
People
choose to build minor dwellings for a variety of personal and financial reasons.
Minor dwellings provide a straightforward solution for families who require
more space and accommodation. They also serve as a cost-effective option for
first-time homebuyers. There is a growing interest in small houses and
minimalism, so some people may be drawn to the idea with this in mind. For
many, the decision to build a second dwelling is an investment choice. They may
choose to subdivide their property and rent out the second dwelling to enjoy a
passive income.
