Lime Mortgage Brokers (0415 761 799) releases a guide on financing granny flats in Perth, covering home equity, construction loans, planning rules, and capital gains tax considerations for homeowners building secondary dwellings.
Kinross, Australia, November 3, 2026 /PressCable/ -- Lime Mortgage Brokers has released a Perth-focused guide to financing a granny flat, outlining how homeowners might use home equity or a construction loan to fund a build. The guide also sets out practical factors to weigh up before committing to a project, giving local homeowners a reference point as interest in secondary dwellings continues to grow.

Granny flats have become a popular option for Perth homeowners looking to generate rental income, house family members, or add value to their property. Industry reporting points to broader momentum behind renovation-related lending: Broker Daily reported that NAB recorded a 21 per cent rise in renovation loans during 2025.
One option set out in Lime Mortgage Brokers' guide involves borrowing against the equity already held in a home. Homeowners with sufficient equity may be able to fund a granny flat this way, though approval depends on the lender's assessment of finances and current property value. The guide notes that combining this borrowing with an existing mortgage can simplify repayments compared with managing a separate loan.
For those without enough equity, a construction loan offers an alternative route, with funds released in stages as building progresses and interest charged only on the amount drawn rather than the full loan balance. However, Lime Mortgage Brokers explains that lenders typically require approved plans, council approvals and a fixed-price contract from a licensed builder before releasing money at each stage.
Beyond the choice of finance, Perth homeowners need to check local planning requirements before building, advises Lime Mortgage Brokers. Granny flats, referred to as ancillary dwellings under the Residential Design Codes, can generally be built on residential-zoned land, though local governments assess and apply the codes to each proposal individually. Site conditions such as slope, drainage and access to utilities can also affect project costs and what gets approved.
Speaking with a broker early can help clarify borrowing capacity, lender requirements and the steps involved in either financing path. Perth homeowners weighing up a granny flat project are encouraged to contact Lime Mortgage Brokers to discuss finance options suited to their circumstances before building begins.
