What should buyers verify about a guest house or ADU in Pasadena, CA?

Whether it is permitted. Ask for the building permit and final inspection, confirm that a second kitchen and any separate utilities are legal where the property sits, and check the zoning that allows the use. An unpermitted conversion can have to be undone, can block a refinance, and is often not insurable as living space.

Does a guest house or ADU add appraised value?

Appraisers generally treat a permitted, legally rentable accessory dwelling as its own line of value and unpermitted space as little or nothing — sometimes excluding it from the square footage entirely. If the second dwelling is part of why you are paying the price, settle its permit status before the appraisal, not after.
