If you’ve found yourself on this page then it might be because you’re looking for alternatives to buying new land to get your new home. With the real estate market being so competitive right now it can be difficult to lock down that dream home you’ve been desiring.
Someone might have mentioned knock down rebuilds or knock down new builds as another option. Today we’ll explain what a knock down rebuild is and how it could be the solution to getting your brand new dream home without having to move your entire life.
What Does Knock Down Rebuild mean?
Knock Down Rebuild is a common term in housing & building, it means to knock down the house on your land and rebuild a brand new one. Perfect for people who love their location but have an outdated house, or for families who are settled into their area but have outgrown the capacity of their home.
Deciding to demolish not only raises the value of your new property and saves you from paying stamp duty and selling costs, it also gives you the added benefit of tailoring a new home suited to your block and your lifestyle.
If you’ve got the perfect block of land but need the house to match then a McCarthy knock down rebuild can breathe new life into your block with a brand new custom-designed home.
Rebuild or Renovate?
Depending on how tailored you want your home to be to your lifestyle, sometimes a small renovation will be enough, while for others a comprehensive rebuild gives you precisely what you want in a home.
Advantages of a Knock Down Rebuild
More and more people are choosing to knock down and rebuild their homes because the cost can work out cheaper than renovation. In terms of dollars per square metre, Knock Down New Build’s are frequently a more cost-effective option.
With a knock down rebuild project you can walk into a brand new home without going through the inconvenience of selling or the risks of renovating. Especially in competitive areas like Brisbane and the Gold Coast, a knock down rebuild can be the perfect solution.
- Knock Down Rebuilds deliver a home that matches your desired lifestyle perfectly
- The homeowner controls the project from start to finish without having to accommodate previous design features that no longer work for you
- Your builder will know every detail of the construction process without having to make educated guesses about the quality or soundness of the original builder’s work
- Budgeting can be managed thoroughly as every element of the project begins with the homeowner
- Depending on the project it can also sometimes be faster to rebuild than to remodel an old home
