A Smarter Way to Turn Your Backyard Into Reliable Income

If you’ve got unused space on your property, you’re sitting on an opportunity that many Victorians are only now taking advantage of.

With rental demand surging and housing affordability tightening, granny flats in Victoria have become one of the most reliable ways for homeowners and investors to generate a steady income without purchasing additional land.

Vic Housing Group helps you unlock this earning potential with compliant, durable, investor-focused second dwellings built right here in Victoria.

We understand what Victorian homeowners want: a simple, compliant, and affordable way to turn land into income. When the state introduced new rules allowing second dwellings under 60m², we saw a chance to give property owners a smarter investment option.

Unlike imported builds, our granny flats are constructed locally using trusted Australian materials and backed by our experience in high-end residential construction. Every home meets the 7-Star Energy Rating and Victoria’s Liveable Housing Standards, ensuring your investment is both profitable and built to last.

Many people assume granny flats are cramped, but our designs prove otherwise. You get a comfortable two-bedroom home with a full bathroom, separate toilet, and welcoming living area — all within a compact footprint that suits most backyards.

Because we build off-site and install on-site, your project runs smoothly and is completed in as little as 15 weeks, helping you start earning sooner. And with our transportable design, you keep long-term flexibility: relocate, rehome, or resell the unit as your needs change.

With the current rental shortage, adding a second dwelling is one of the fastest ways to increase your property value and create dependable rental income — often up to 10% per year.

Since your land is already paid for, your setup costs stay low and your returns stay high. Before we begin, our team assesses your property, checks compliance, and confirms access for installation so everything fits perfectly and legally the first time.

Whether you’re aiming to support family, create rental income, or add long-term flexibility to your property, Vic Housing Group makes the entire journey simple.

We take care of drafting, permits, building, delivery, and installation — all managed by a single point of contact who keeps you updated throughout the entire process. Your backyard holds more potential than you realise.

Let us help you turn it into a reliable income.
