WHY A KNOCK DOWN REBUILD IS THE BEST WAY TO GET YOUR DREAM HOME

 

When you’re on the hunt for your dream home, buying or renovating often seem like the only options. But, whether you’re just embarking on your home journey or you’re a seasoned owner, it’s worth thinking outside the box to get what you want. A Knock Down Rebuild Home Builders is currently an under-the-radar option, but it’s growing in popularity – especially with those who love their location but not their home.

1.       Cost comparative

Budget and cost are, most likely, always going to be at the top of your list of concerns when considering a new home or renovating. Renovations and re-clads can often cost as much as building new but come without the benefits of a new modern home. Renovations are also associated with financial uncertainty. Unforeseen problems such as leaky pipes, dodgy foundations or undetected asbestos can turn a renovation into a costly nightmare.

Construction aside, moving home means you’ll have to pay stamp duty. One of the big benefits of a knockdown rebuild is that it can be often be more cost-effective than renovating.

2.       Stay in the same location

While knocking down your home and rebuilding a new one can have plenty of financial benefits, it can also have a huge impact on your lifestyle. Does your area have great schools for the kids? Are there solid working opportunities for you? Is there a thriving and friendly community? If the answer is a resounding “yes” to all these questions, then moving away from this doesn’t make much sense.

3.       Build your dream home

The beauty of a knockdown rebuild is that you’re given a blank canvas. You can build the home of your dreams, experiment with style and structure, and add your own unique flourishes. Rebuilding your home also allows you to think ahead and design a home that can adapt to your changing needs. This approach comes in handy if you’re thinking about starting a family down the track.

4.       You maintain your equity

Homes built over 40 years ago may have depreciated, but the land value has continued to climb, particularly in established Melbourne suburbs. If this is you, it makes sense to take advantage of your strong equity and stay in the same locale, with your new home building capital value.

  If you are buying or selling a large parcel of land, consider whether or not subdividing the land can help you maximize your real estate resources. Here are a few considerations for landowners, or those seeking to buy land, who are thinking about subdividing:   Get intimately acquainted with your zoning laws. The first step towards subdividing a property is to understand the zoning requirements that apply to your site. In addition to the Residential Design Codes of Western Australia, most land in Australia is subject to the individual policies of local councils. These set out standards such as minimum lot sizes, and are therefore critical in determining the scope and subdivision potential of your property. Other factors that can influence whether you are allowed to subdivide your block include any state planning policies, local planning policies, the shape of the block and whether or not an existing home is going to remain or be removed in order to subdivide the land.

Renovating Your Existing Home vs. Looking for a New Home Builder

Image
Wondering whether to knock down and rebuild or renovate your existing home?  We at Parkvuehones often get asked by homeowners whether we think they should renovate their existing home or build new. The answer, of course, depends on your unique situation, your financial goals and future plans. The important thing is to consider what each path offers.  You should start by considering the home’s intended use. What sort of living areas do you need to fit your lifestyle? How much room do you need? If you have specific ideas, now is the time to bring them out. Once you have the answers to these questions, dig into the structural soundness and health of the foundation as much as you can. If the foundation is cracked or the frame of the house is compromised, there is little use in spending a lot on renovations.
