Important pricing note
Dwelling prices and project requirements vary significantly. Delivery, site preparation, foundations, installation, services, consultants, approvals and other costs may not be included in a supplier’s advertised price.
*Pricing is indicative only and may exclude delivery, installation, site works, services, professional fees, approvals and other project costs.
A SMARTER PLACE TO START
Don’t Choose a Home Until You Understand the Property
The advertised price of a dwelling is only one part of the decision. Before comparing builders, it is important to investigate whether the property, intended use, access and potential costs appear to support the project.
Property Fit
We consider factors such as your location, available space, intended use, site access, services and delivery requirements.
True Project Costs
We help you identify cost categories that may sit outside the advertised dwelling price, including delivery, installation, site preparation, service connections, consultants and approvals.
Income Potential
If rental income is your goal, we help you explore indicative scenarios based on potential rent, occupancy, vacancy, management and ongoing costs.

What Could Work on Your Property?
The right option depends on more than the advertised dwelling price. Explore the three areas we assess before recommending your next step.
Start With Your Land, Goals and Intended Use
We consider your available space, property access, location, intended use and preferred dwelling size before exploring potentially suitable options.
- Available space and property layout
- Vehicle, delivery and installation access
- Intended use and bedroom requirements
- Tiny-home, modular-home or granny-flat suitability
Look Beyond the Advertised Dwelling Price
The dwelling price is only one part of the project. Understanding the broader cost categories can help prevent unexpected expenses.
- Dwelling price, inclusions and upgrades
- Delivery, installation and site preparation
- Water, power and wastewater connections
- Professional services, approvals and contingency
Explore Indicative Rental-Income Scenarios
Use realistic assumptions to explore the income opportunity before making a decision or committing to a supplier.
- Potential weekly rental income
- Occupancy and vacancy assumptions
- Management and ongoing property costs
- Indicative gross and net-income scenarios
Get Clarity Before You Commit to a Builder
Choosing an additional dwelling involves more than finding a home you like. We help you understand the property, potential costs, suitable options and next steps before you make a major commitment.
Property-First Guidance
We start with your property, intended use, budget and desired outcome—not with a particular dwelling or supplier.
Clearer Cost Comparisons
We help you identify important costs beyond the advertised dwelling price so you can compare quotes and ask suppliers better questions.
Multiple Dwelling Options
Explore tiny homes, modular homes and granny flats instead of being directed immediately towards one product or solution.
Suitable Introductions
Where appropriate, we connect you with relevant suppliers and qualified property professionals suited to your project.
No-Pressure Next Steps
Use the preliminary assessment to decide whether further investigation is worthwhile. You are not obligated to select a referred supplier.
Transparent Relationships
We clearly explain relevant supplier, referral or commercial relationships so you can make an informed decision.
Helping You Make a Better-Informed Property Decision
Our role is to help you investigate the property opportunity, understand the questions that matter and compare suitable next steps before committing to a dwelling or supplier.
Tiny Home Finder Australia may receive a referral fee, supplier commission or other payment when a customer proceeds with an introduced provider. Any commercial relationship relevant to your decision will be disclosed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Determining if a tiny home is suitable for your property involves more than just considering the price of the dwelling. Key factors include the location of your property, its intended use, available land, site access, utilities, delivery logistics, site preparation, and the necessary approval pathways.
Can you help me compare suppliers?
Yes. Where your project appears suitable for further investigation, we can help you identify and compare relevant suppliers based on dwelling type, location, budget, intended use, inclusions and project requirements.
Does the assessment replace professional planning advice?
No. The assessment is a preliminary decision-making tool. It does not replace advice from a town planner, building certifier, surveyor, engineer, council, valuer, accountant, financial adviser or other appropriately qualified professional.
Does Tiny Home Finder Australia build the homes?
No. Tiny Home Finder Australia is a property-opportunity assessment and supplier-matching service. Homes and professional services are supplied by third-party providers.
What is the difference between a tiny home, granny flat and modular home?
Tiny homes are generally compact dwellings designed to use space efficiently. Granny flats are self-contained secondary dwellings associated with an existing residential property. Modular homes are manufactured off-site in sections and can offer larger layouts and greater customisation.
The terminology, approval pathway and permitted use can depend on the dwelling, property and relevant authority.

How much does the complete project cost?
The complete project cost may include more than the advertised dwelling price. Additional categories can include delivery, foundations, installation, site works, service connections, consultants, applications, approvals, insurance, furnishing and contingency.
Tiny Home Finder Australia helps you identify these categories so you can compare supplier quotes more accurately.
Can I use an additional dwelling to generate rental income?
An additional dwelling may create a rental-income opportunity, subject to the property, dwelling, applicable requirements and local rental demand.
Our assessment can show indicative income scenarios based on stated rent, occupancy, vacancy and ongoing-cost assumptions. It does not guarantee a particular rental return.
