We’ve all heard something by now about the growing momentum and benefits around tiny home living. The idea might seem immediately appealing to some and slightly impractical to others, but you may be surprised by the range of benefits of investing in a Tiny Home.
Tiny homes, typically between 18 and 85 square metres, represent a social movement away from materialist excesses, promoting flexibility and more importantly, affordability. Portable buildings can provide effective solutions to your accommodation needs, while creating potential revenue streams in your own backyard. And the good news is that city and regional councils are relaxing density and home size regulations due to New Zealand’s ongoing housing shortage, allowing you to build, subdivide, and grow your asset base. So why not make the most of your space?
Whether you’re on the hunt for greater financial independence, teaching your growing kids the responsibilities of home ownership, or you wish to keep your ageing loved ones close to home, tiny homes offer a variety of advantages for Kiwis of all ages. Let’s dive into a couple of benefits of living in a tiny home.
TINY HOMES KEEP FAMILY CLOSE WITHOUT SACRIFICING INDEPENDENCE
Most of us face some big decisions when it comes to our growing children, or how to respond to parents and other relatives needs as they get older.
Tiny homes or Small Homes could be your best answer. They are considerably cheaper compared to ordinary homes and can typically be purchased for less than the down-payment on a full-sized house. Buying a portable building for your children as they near independence can help them learn valuable lessons about home ownership and maintenance, right in the back yard. And when they’re ready to leave the nest, they can take their tiny homes with them and start their careers mortgage-free!
The same goes for those of us with older parents or relatives who may need a little more support with their daily lives. Cabins and tiny homes make exceptional granny flats for ageing parents and relatives. They can be much cheaper than retirement villages or live-in care, while keeping your loved ones closer to their families where they’re happier. Pencarrow Cabin Small Homes can be easily customised, allowing for ramps, wet rooms, and other modifications.
CREATE TINY HOME REVENUE IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD
Tired of constantly mowing that same piece of grass, all the while wondering how you can increase your household income? Purchasing a portable building may be the answer you’ve been looking for! Either as standard rental accommodation or through a quick search for tiny homes in NZ on Airbnb, you’ll be amazed at how many Kiwis are reaping the rewards of investing in tiny homes, providing an affordable option for those keen to maximise return from their current properties.
Not only that, planning rules dictating maximum density and minimum house sizes are being relaxed, making it much easier for infill development in inner-city suburbs. Plenty of people are taking advantage of their land ownership by building, subdividing, and selling, and so should you. So stop mowing the grass and start thinking how you too can generate income at your place!
PORTABLE TINY HOMES MAXIMISE OPTIONS WHEN YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE!
Tiny homes are portable, and portable homes give you freedom and flexibility when your circumstances change. So, when the kids finally leave, or when you secure that beautiful piece of land on the coast, your portable building gives you the flexibility to simply unclip from the services and re-locate your building where it’s needed most. At Pencarrow Cabins, all our buildings comply with New Zealand Transport regulations, meaning that they can be easily moved anywhere in the country.
