Granny annexes soar in popularity as cost of care rockets
Quoting James Greenwood of Stacks Property Finders
James Greenwood, of Stacks Property Search, is a great fan of granny annexes but he advises his clients to buy with care.
‘Your neighbours are very important so consult them before building something like this,’ he says.
‘A good deal of the value of your house may be down to the garden, so consider the site. Will it spoil your view or that of your neighbours?
‘Also, check that you have sufficient access for vehicles coming and going.’
The final problem posed by owning a granny annexe is seldom mentioned — what to do with it when sadly granny passes away?
The 79-year-old Tony Blackburn has the answer.

When making probably the most important financial decision of your life, it pays to have the right advisors at your side.
Retirement or semi-retirement is an exciting stage in life. Finding the right home to live in and enjoy it to the full is important. We know that and will do all that we can to understand what you’re looking for… before starting to search. And search we will, until we find the house of your dreams.
Relocating is time consuming and stressful. We regularly work with clients who live abroad. We hunt, short-list, prepare your viewings, and make the search process as easy as possible. We oversee the negotiations, manage the conveyancing, and deal with the headaches, so you can concentrate on other aspects of your move.
A holiday home is often an interesting mix of investment and heartfelt connection. You want to use it, but you may well also be keen for others to use it too. We can advise you on what factors to consider in making your decision. And we can then find the perfect holiday home for you to enjoy.
Others say, ‘location, location, location’. We say, ‘location, purpose, price, capital growth, rental returns’… the list goes on. Knowing the market is critical. Local knowledge is key. We ensure all aspects of your investment decision are addressed. Finding, analysing, negotiating, and completing… it’s what we do.
