Investment Opportunity

Granny Flats in Johannesburg — The Numbers in 2026

Johannesburg's rental demand is strong year-round. A well-built granny flat generates income and increases your property value indefinitely.

Sandton & Fourways

A self-contained 1-bedroom granny flat in Sandton, Fourways or Bryanston generates R9,000–R15,000/month in the current Johannesburg rental market.

Randburg & Roodepoort

More affordable suburbs still return R6,500–R9,000/month. On a R300,000 build cost that is a 26% annual yield — significantly better than most financial products.

Property Value Increase

A completed granny flat adds R200,000–R400,000 to your Johannesburg property valuation — often more than the construction cost in well-priced suburbs.

CoJ Plans Included

We manage the full City of Johannesburg plan submission. Your granny flat is legally approved and NHBRC enrolled — no demolition risk, no problems at sale.
