Importance of granny annexes

Importance of granny annexes

Granny flats and family annexes have always been a practical option for individuals caring for elderly relatives, but the advantages of owning a family annex have been more obvious during the current state of lockdown in the United Kingdom.

In comparison to a traditional 'granny apartment,' family annexes may provide more comfort and seclusion, making them more ideal for the whole household. Whether you are young or elderly, annexes provide freedom and security for families, and they are a cost-effective alternative to owning an expensive UK home.


As an alternative to hiring a space

Because of the increase in the value of the real estate over the years, it is not unexpected that many young people today confront the issue of purchasing a home of their own and moving out. Annexes are a beautiful and uncomplicated method for parents of young people to assist them in obtaining their own place of residence while avoiding the expense of paying rent, which may quickly add up. A divorced son or daughter with children who is unable to afford to get back on the property ladder may find this option to be suitable.

Elderly spaces

The financial benefit of family annexes is obvious when you have an older parent or relative who needs the comfort of being near to home and seeing familiar faces; it may save you money over the long term. Another consideration is the number of persons with impairments who need additional assistance from family members.

Handrails, shower seats, and wheelchair access are some of the features that may be added to annexes, and the needs will vary from family to family and be customized.

Thus, if you want to construct a granny annex in your house, consult TRK construction, which will make your work a lot easier and efficient!

At TRJ Construction Ltd, we take pride in turning our clients’ visions into reality, no matter how complex the project. One of our recent builds presented a unique challenge—there was no direct access to the garden through the house, making a traditional installation impossible. But challenges like these don’t stop us. Instead, they push us to find innovative solutions. Our team, led by Costi, carefully planned and executed the project by craning the entire structure over the house. This required meticulous coordination, precision, and problem-solving to ensure a seamless and safe installation. Despite external factors, such as rising transport costs, we remained committed to our original quote, ensuring transparency and trust with our client. From start to finish, our focus was on delivering exceptional craftsmanship and high-quality materials to create a stunning, fully functional garden room. We paid close attention to every detail, ensuring the finishing touches matched the client’s expectations. The result? A beautiful, modern garden room that exceeded all expectations. Our client was thrilled with the final outcome and shared their appreciation for our hard work, diligence, and dedication to quality: "Costi and his team have done an incredible job at making our garden room vision a reality. Throughout the process, Costi has been very meticulous, hard-working, diligent, and prompt. He had solutions for every construction challenge and delivered a very high-quality garden room which we really love. I was impressed by how Costi remained committed to the original quote despite transport costs going up. He went above and beyond to make sure that the finishing materials I wanted were used and that the workmanship was high quality. I would not hesitate to recommend TRJ for any garden room or annex project." At TRJ Construction Ltd, we believe that every project is an opportunity to create a beautiful and functional space for our clients, regardless of the challenges we face. Whether it’s a garden gym, home office, or guest annex, we bring experience, expertise, and dedication to every build. 📍 Location: Just outside Central London 📞 Get in touch today for a free consultation and let’s create your dream space! #GardenRoom #HomeGym #OutdoorLiving #ExpertCraftsmanship #TRJConstruction #LondonHomes
