Can I rent out a garden annex?

This depends on your planning permission conditions. Some approvals restrict use to 'ancillary' accommodation for family only, while others permit independent letting. We recommend discussing your intentions with your installer at the feasibility stage.

How much does a garden annex cost?

Garden annexes typically start from £65,000 and range to £120,000+ depending on size, specification, and finishing level. While this is more than a standard garden room, it's significantly less than a traditional extension or buying additional property.

Garden Annexes in Uxbridge

The varied housing stock from Victorian terraces to new-build estates that characterise Uxbridge make it particularly well-suited to self-contained habitable garden annexe construction. As a Hillingdon's administrative centre with Brunel University nearby, the area attracts university staff, young professionals, and families who increasingly see creating independent living space for family members, guests, or rental income as a practical upgrade rather than a luxury. Every build we recommend here includes full Building Control compliance, kitchen and bathroom plumbing, separate utility connections, and fire-rated construction, meeting the 2026 Part L standard that Hillingdon now expects.

Provide comfortable, independent living space for family members with a self-contained garden annex. Perfect for elderly relatives (Granny Annexes), young adults needing independence, guest accommodation, or even rental income. Our recommended installers build fully habitable homes to building control standards, complete with kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas. They offer a cost-effective alternative to care homes, house extensions, or buying a separate property.
