Adding value to a property with a garage conversion

Converting your garage can significantly boost property value by creating an extra room or a self-contained granny flat.

Before starting, assess suitability, ensuring a minimum 2.4m ceiling height and considering alternative parking. Building consent is typically required to change the space to habitable. Creating a granny flat with a kitchen often requires resource consent as well. Key alterations include waterproofing floors, replacing the door, and ensuring proper ventilation, creating a valuable asset for potential buyers.
