Annexe Specification
All of our annexe designs are made to suit the individual occupant, we take time to fully plan the layout and internal specification to give you a truly bespoke annexe. Our standard options are detailed in our specifications page to give you a starting point, however our standard options are of an exception quality so most of our customers will simply customise the colour choices.
Planning Permission
At Family Annexe we provide a free planning consultation service in which we assess the viability of an application. Applying for a certificate of lawfulness to site your new annexe is a simple, but crucial step. Our experts have a wealth of knowledge in UK planning law and work directly with your local planning authority to try to ensure a successful decision.
Our Process
Our process begins by having a chat over the phone and sending out our brochure. We can then speak more to how a granny annexe can help your situation by conceiving designs and floor plans to find the best fit for both your relatives and your garden. The next stage is to meet on site to discuss the finer details such as internal and external finishing options in order to provide a detailed quotation.
The first step towards your new garden annexe is our free in-depth phone consultation. Our team will guide you through design options, planning process and all associated costs.
After our phone consultation you will receive your detailed quotation. This will include a detailed price breakdown, payment schedule, elevation drawings and footprint design of the proposed annexe.
Once you are happy with our proposal, our surveyor will visit you to survey the site. This checks for utility connections such as drainage and electrics as well as taking garden measurements for the planning forms. We will also check that the annexe will not affect your neighbours.
Our garden annexes come with everything you need to move in straight away. From a fully fitted kitchen, laminate flooring and even the final coat of paint. We have a great range to choose from, including window styles and colours, kitchens, flooring, door handles, bathroom suites and much more.
A key part of our service is obtaining planning permission from your Local Planning Authority to build your new home. For many, this step can be a daunting prospect, however we take care of the whole process for you.
Once planning has been granted, our team will commence with the groundworks. In week two we will be building the structure of your annexe, and within 6-8 weeks your annexe will be completed.
A member of our team will give you a tour of your new annexe to explain how to use appliances and make sure you are happy with everything. We also allow a period for you to check all minor details in your own time to make sure that you are happy with the finish.
Thank you to all the team. Our annexe is gorgeous and it is much bigger inside than we thought from the plans. The finish is spectacular! We will definitely recommend you to our friends.
We are delighted with our annexe. We found Family Annexe on Google and from first consultation they were great. Questions answered for any worries and we were able to view a finished annexe. The build was quick and the site kept tidy and a couple of minor snagging issues were quickly dealt with. The finished annexe is probably better than we hoped for and I would definitely recommend Family Annexe to others.
We’d been thinking about an annexe for quite some time looking at all the available suppliers via Google trying to decide best value for money. We kind of stumbled across Family Annexe after several pages on Google and aren’t we glad we did. Firstly their range of annexes fitted in with our available budget and from first contact through the website everything came together very quickly. The company’s planner arrived as planned and discussion soon led to best size and location for the annexe. The quote arrived at the level expected with stage payments available for each stage completed. After planning was approved using the Caravan Act as its basis (a less stringent form of planning) we were off pretty well immediately. The annexe team arrived as planned and pretty well within a week the ground was cleared and the structure erected and water tight. Then over the next 3 weeks or so we watched the annexe being completed. We were able to choose our own kitchen and flooring and everything was finished as we required. In fact nothing seemed to be too much bother from location of sockets, wiring for tvs up on the wall and even a socket in the floor to power our reclining sofa. My wife particularly wanted a built in eye level oven and this was supplied within the quote along with matching built in microwave. Yes when they describe the finished annexe as ‘Turnkey’ this company means it and all we had to do was move our furniture in. Obvious to say we’re both pleased as punch with the finished annexe and would readily recommend this company to anyone looking for something similar.

Phil and the lads were very helpful and they couldn’t do enough to help us. We are very pleased and the annexe was completed on time. We have now been in the annexe for 7 months and we are very happy. All minor issues have been resolved on snagging visits by Scott and Dave. We love our new home. Thank you.
