AI summary
A garage conversion can significantly boost property value. Key considerations include assessing the garage's suitability (e.g., ceiling height) and securing the correct consents.
A building consent is typically required to create a habitable space. Converting to a self-contained granny flat with a kitchen usually also needs resource consent, offering home and income potential but at a higher cost. A well-planned project is a valuable investment that can increase your final sale price.
