What are the current minor dwelling trends in Christchurch?

After an exciting rebuild and renew effort, Christchurch is a hotspot destination for overseas and domestic holidaymakers. And with current vacation trends leaning towards ‘tiny homes’ for accommodation, more people in Christchurch are building minor dwellings to capitalise on space.
Additionally, competition for affordable Christchurch housing is rapidly increasing and no longer an option for everyone to have their perfect home within their budget.  
With all of that considered, building a minor dwelling is a worthwhile property investment and becoming increasingly popular as a secondary form of income. 
Small by nature, a minor dwelling is also an excellent opportunity to build a space with stylistic design without committing to an expensive full home renovation. You could even consider it a home away from home!
Here at Refresh Renovations, we offer to help with it all. So whether you have renters in mind or want to create an escape pad, our Christchurch Renovation Consultants can assist with your minor dwelling renovation.
