Adding value to a property with a garage conversion

Converting your garage can add significant value as an extra room or a self-contained granny flat. First, assess suitability for ceiling height, size, and alternative parking.

Building consent is typically required to create a habitable space. Adding a kitchen to create a minor dwelling may also need resource consent. Key alterations include replacing the door, waterproofing floors, and ensuring proper ventilation and lighting to meet the Building Code.

A well-planned conversion is a valuable investment that can boost your final sale price.
