Granny Flats and Manufactured Homes
Granny flat and manufactured home arrangements can provide flexible living options for families, but they also carry important legal and financial considerations. At MMLaw, we help you structure agreements that protect your rights and your future.
Keeping family living arrangements safe and secure.
Granny flats can be a great way to bring families closer together, offering older relatives comfort and care, while keeping them connected to loved ones. But because they involve both family and property, it’s essential to have clear agreements in place.
A granny flat arrangement typically involves transferring money or property rights in exchange for accommodation or care. Without a written agreement, it may be unclear who owns what, or what happens if the arrangement ends.

Preventing misunderstanding before it happens
It’s easy to assume family arrangements will run smoothly, but circumstances can change. Disputes may arise if a relationship breaks down, if the property is sold, or if someone passes away. Legal advice helps prevent misunderstandings and protects everyone’s interests.
Clear guidance for manufactured home living.
A manufactured home arrangement usually involves purchasing the home itself while leasing the site it sits on. This creates a unique legal relationship with ongoing obligations that differ from traditional home ownership.
Manufactured home agreements often include:
· Site agreements with regular rental or occupancy fees
· Entry contributions and exit fees
· Rules around use of facilities and park management
· Rights to sell or transfer the home in the future
Without proper advice, these terms may create unexpected costs or restrictions.
