Hi,
I have recently purchased an investment property. The property has a fully equipped granny flat. I am going to rent the house and the granny flat separately.
I was told that I need to register a separate address for the granny flat before I can have a separate electricity account. So far I can’t find out what the process for registering a new address is. I have contacted the city council (Melbourne, Bayside) and they could not tell me what I need to do.
Any help on how to proceed is much appreciated.
Thank you, Rita.
Hello Rita
I have built a house with a seperate granny flat but that was in NSW- I had to have 2 seperate electricity meters so I could have 2 seperate electricity accounts which also meant the the granny flat was wired seperately – I would speak with your property manager – you may need to rent out the properties at a higher rent but with electricity included is one solution OR you may have to get an electrician in to rewire the granny flat and put in another meter. That's a couple of suggestions to start you off
