A granny flat builder in Canterbury works with the oldest stock in the area — the 1920s to 1960s homes sit on 500 to 700m² blocks that clear the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold comfortably for a 60m² secondary dwelling. Canterbury has its own station and premium pricing, and a well-built rear dwelling lets strongly here.
The ground is moderately reactive, so the slab is engineered off a real geotech to suit — a proper footing calibrated to the actual soil. The pre-war and mid-century stock frequently carries fibro, so a licensed asbestos strip-out leads where any demolition is involved.
The 1920s to 1960s age of the stock means character and heritage controls are a real possibility — on the older houses I confirm early, because they can push a job off the fast CDC path into a DA. The generous blocks themselves leave clean room for a separate secondary dwelling.

Premium blocks, station close
Canterbury's 500 to 700m² lots clear the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold comfortably, so a 60m² secondary dwelling is achievable on most blocks via the CDC path.
The station and premium pricing mean a well-built rear dwelling lets strongly and holds its rent.
