1. Increase Property and Resale Value
Increasing the value of your property is the most common reason homeowners build an ADU. The property value overall will benefit massively from the amount required to construct the ADU making an ADU an amazing investment for your property.
An ADU is extremely attractive to a potential buyer when you come to sell your property, it can be the cherry on top for the potential buyer to want to put in a higher offer knowing that they will be able to offset their mortgage payment with income given by the ADU.
2. Work space
If you find your home too noisy or too many distractions to work, a great idea can be to build an ADU. Enhance your productivity and be able to focus more on your business with your own personal space. An ADU can be transformed into an office, workshop or even an art studio. With the right landscaping, design and site planning you could even go as far as creating a separate entrance and parking for a more professional appearance for when clients or meetings are held at your new office.
Instead of wasting money on your office rent each month, consider building an office a few steps away from home, also eliminating traffic allowing you extra time with your loved ones.
3. Guest Accommodations
If you have out of towners coming to stay with you for a while or even just a weekend, having separate accommodation outside of your own home will ensure everyone will be able to have their own privacy and will not interfere with your daily routine.
An ADU is also perfect for if you have elderly grandparents or parents as it allows you to keep your freedom along with being able to spend quality time with them which they may prefer to a nursing home.
4. Benefits for your children
The cost of living nowadays is exceptionally high and it is much harder to get on the property ladder. Having an ADU on your property can be a great place for your children as they grow up but need space/privacy. Your children will benefit as it is a great stepping stone for them to gain independence and a chance to save their money for their future.
There two different types of ADU’s:
The first is called Prefab ADU, where the ADU unit is delivered to your home already built and is just placed where you choose (very simple) or the second type of ADU is Build ADU which is where you design from scratch your ADU using an architecture and engineer to help you plan which can take roughly 6-8 months to complete.
