Good to know
Nua Living granny flats are fixed-price: €93,900 for a 33 m² one-bed and €126,500 for a 45 m² one-or-two-bed, both + VAT at 13.5% and both usually planning-exempt. A 48 m² two-bed is €134,500 + VAT with standard planning permission, which we handle. Prices include design, build and full project management.
Since 27 July 2026, detached garden dwellings up to 45 m² are exempt from planning permission under S.I. No. 340/2026, provided the unit sits in the rear garden of your main home, at least 25 m² of garden remains, there is a separate entrance, and the owner lives in the principal dwelling. Building Control, fire safety and BER rules still apply in full.
The S.I. No. 340/2026 exemption is designed for family or household use of the same property. Whether and how you can let the unit depends on your circumstances and current rules — we walk through your intended use at the free consultation so the right planning route is chosen from day one.
A Nua Living granny flat is a poured reinforced-concrete structure with continuous insulation on both sides, built to full residential standard with a BER A1–A0 design target. It is a permanent home, not a garden building — the same construction class lenders and insurers already understand.
