A weekend getaway or family holiday in Canberra starts with finding somewhere great to stay. Well, what if you never had to search but owned your own studio, granny flat or self-contained unit?

Spring time is fast approaching in Canberra and the barbecues would be coming out of hibernation and with it, there will be conversations about a beautiful new home or two in the neighborhood. That home could well be yours.

There are two options to owning a great home in Canberra – buy a pre-owned home or build one for your family. The former is easier but in a few months you find that you have to adjust yourself to someone else’s house plan. Maybe you would have liked to have the bathroom right next to the living room or a standard sized swimming pool instead of the mini pool and maybe the kitchen is nice but a tad smaller than what you would have ideally liked?
