What is Knock Down And Rebuild?

by Andrew Kapinga

Knock down and rebuild is just what the name suggests. You knock down your house and build another one on the same site. The only thing you cannot do is live in the old home while the new one is being built, so accommodation costs must be figured into the equation. There are companies that specialise in rebuilding on the site of a home to be knocked down. They have many innovative, new designs to satisfactorily replace your old home. The benefits of knock down and rebuilt are that you can stay in the same suburb where all your friends are. And you don't have the cost of buying more land. So if your home does not meet your needs and lifestyle any more, you might consider knocking it down and building one completely different.

New styles of homes are often better designed to make use of available space, giving a growing family more living space - and more privacy. Building a new, modern home can increase the value of your property more than renovating the old one. You can build up and out without having to worry about incorporating the old home's aging structure into the plans. And in many cases the old home just isn't worth renovating. You could spend a lot of money and still have nothing like what you want.
