AI summary
Multigenerational living is a growing trend in Aotearoa, driven by financial benefits and the desire for family support. Families are pooling resources to buy or build shared homes.
Popular solutions include large houses with separate living areas or flexible home and income properties. The government's Granny Flats proposal may also make these arrangements easier in the future.
Before committing, it is crucial to seek independent legal advice to create a property sharing agreement and consult a mortgage broker.
