TODAY IS THE DAY ......
Granny Flats Building Consent exemption becomes Law today 💥🏠

The granny flats (small standalone dwelling) building consent exemption commences on 15 January 2026. A new granny flat can now be built without a building consent if:
• it is a single-storey, standalone dwelling
• it is no bigger than 70 square metres
• it has a simple design and meets the Building Code
• all exemption conditions are met
• the work is done or supervised by licensed building professionals (LBPs, plumbers, drainlayers, gasfitters, electrical workers), as it is restricted building work.
Homeowners must get a Project Information Memorandum (PIM) from their council before building work starts. When the build is finished, they must tell the council by providing documents like final plans, Records of Work, and certificates of compliance.
If homeowners are unsure whether their building work needs a building consent, they should contact their local council OR contact New Image Homes and we can help you through.

Excellent news from the Government:
🏠 NO consent needed for 70m2 backyard Granny Flats
🏠 Expected to be in force by early 2026
🏠 Fantastic way to create high yields and add value to your property
🏠 Get in now to avoid the rush on Builders

The proposed building consent exemption will allow small standalone dwellings up to 70m2 in size, commonly known as granny flats, to be built without a building consent. The granny flat will still need to comply with the Building Code and other conditions.

This is a fantastic way to add value to your property, support families with different housing needs and budgets and cut some of the red tape that holds back alot of development in spaces that can be used.

If you would like to discuss what options are available for your site, please contact us.

Great news for home owners ...... finally!!! With the recent interest rate cut of 50 basis points which brings the OCR rate to 3.75% this offers relief to home owners and investors who are refixing their mortgages. Kiwibank have now changed their test rate from 7.5% to 7% which can make a difference if you are seeking funds for a new home or renovation.
