GRANNY ANNEXE & GARDEN ANNEX SPECIALIST BUILDERS
NO PLANNING PERMISSION REQUIRED

Mobile Annexe Ltd is based near Stansted airport on the Essex and Hertfordshire border. We offer a bespoke one stop service across England building Granny Annexes and Garden Annexes to provide independent living in your garden for your family to live in, all without the need for planning permission. 

Additional Granny Annex accommodation for elderly parents who want to stay close to their loved ones and don't want the residential care home costs of around £6000 per month. Or perhaps for health reasons single level accommodation is now necessary. With the cost of housing it’s very difficult for our children to afford their own a property, an garden annex  will allow them independent living while saving for a deposit, with the additional comfort of having family nearby to support you in your future needs.

 

We offer a FREE on-site consultation.

ANNEXE AND GRANNY ANNEX BUILDERS

These garden living spaces can serve multiple purposes and often have creative names that reflect their function or charm. Here are a few common types:

  1. Granny Annexe: Typically designed for elderly family members, providing a comfortable and independent living space.

  2. Garden Annex: Versatile spaces that can be used as home offices, art studios, or cozy retreats, also called garden rooms.

  3. Garden Lodges: Often larger, these can serve as larger accommodation.

  4. Studio Rooms: Compact and multifunctional, perfect for artists or those needing a quiet living space.

  5. She Sheds/Man Caves: Personal retreats designed for relaxation or hobbies.

  6. Eco Pods: Sustainable living options made from eco-friendly materials.

Concise summary of the processes involved in securing a garden annexe for your loved ones:
 

Step 1: Initial discussion

  • Phone Call Consultation: Begin with a phone consultation to discuss your granny annexe requirements and understand your needs.

  • Free On-Site Consultation: Arrange a complimentary on-site visit for a more detailed discussion and assessment of your garden annexe requirements.

  • Design & Quotation: Provide a detailed quote that includes a Price Guarantee to secure the pricing of your granny annexe for six months.

  • Estimated Build Time and Start Date: Discuss the construction timeline for your garden annex, including when you'd ideally like it completed. We can typically start within three weeks of receiving a certificate of lawful development from your council.

 

Step 2: No planning permission required

To build your granny annexe, we need to obtain a Certificate of Lawful Development from your local council. This process is typically easier than applying for full planning permission, as it involves a legal assessment rather than a planning decision. As a result, we have a 99% success rate in securing these certificates. The process can take up to 12 weeks and typically costs around £230.

 

Step 3: Build & Delivery

Our customer liaison and site foreman will guide you through every step of the granny annexe build process from start to finish, which takes around six to ten weeks, ensuring you’re fully supported until you walk through the door of your new annexe. They’ll be available to answer any questions, provide regular progress updates, and offer advice on every decision. Our dedicated project management team ensures that your build is delivered on time, so you can focus on planning life in your stylish new garden annexe.


Step 4: Aftercare & Guarantees

Once your garden annexe is complete and you are fully satisfied, we will provide you with our 10-year guarantee. Additionally, the windows, doors, cladding, and roofing materials come with their own manufacturer warranties. Offering you peace of mind as you enjoy your granny annex from Mobile Annexe Ltd.

All of the tradesmen have been both polite and dedicated to their tasks. In particular a special mention must go to James who often went above and beyond (Top Man).
Then we come to Dean our builder who has led the project from start to finish and given us confidence and support along the way. This man is "Simply the Best".
A big thank you to you all."

Amanda Fox

Excellent service!

"The process was smooth from start to finish and we’re very happy with the build process and finished result. Thank you to Gary for his help with obtaining our certificate of lawfulness and wonderful design. Special thanks to Kevin and Dean for all their help with the building of our new home! The process with our local council wasn’t as smooth as we hoped but Gary was there to reassure us and answer any questions they may have had. We have already had many compliments on our build! Would highly recommend."

Helena Thatcher

Fantastic firm, great workforce. I highly recommend them.

"Mobile Annexe Ltd have provided me with a beautiful new annexe. They have been honest and true to their word. The workforce have been fantastic and nothing has been too much trouble for them - I’ve added bits and pieces on to my original build and they have graciously carried out all the extras I’ve asked for and will still manage to finish within the 12 week timeframe quoted. If you are looking for a beautiful bespoke annexe these are your guys."
