Thinking about building an in-law apartment??

Several years ago we built 8 in-law apartments, additions, for families and their elderly parents.  Many families during the economic downturn decided to combine their assets, communities and return back to a more nuclear family of living together.  Usually the parents will sell their home and build onto their child’s home increasing the value of the child’s home.  An average in law apartment consists of a smaller bedroom, living room, bathroom and small kitchen allowing the parents all the comforts of living in a home.  Recently we were approached by two potential customers who are in the planning stages, fact finding, to build an in-law apartment on their homes in Amherst and Milford.  Many Towns are now allowing in law apartments built onto single family homes but there may be some restrictions, your best approach is to speak to the Town Building Department to make sure they allow this process.
