Live where you love with a Hotondo knockdown rebuild

If you love the area you live in but not your home, you generally have three options: sell your house and move, renovate/extend your home, or knockdown and rebuild.

Considering a knockdown and rebuild project can be highly beneficial and profitable in the long run.

It can also save you from the stress and costs involved in renovating or extending your existing home.

Local Hotondo Homes builder Peter Scott believes there are some major benefits to building a new home in Torquay and around the Surf Coast.

“A knockdown rebuild project will mean your new home will include the most up-to-date features and technology,” he said.

“Renovating can seem like a good idea, but a lot of people find costs can skyrocket when having to work in and around existing structures.”

When opting to renovate, it is common to run into unexpected costs as you begin to move into the foundations of a home.

A knockdown rebuild project means you will have a better understanding of your costs upfront.

“When it comes to renovating, it’s hard to know what lies beneath the surface until you rip it up,” Peter said.

“If you’re thinking of doing a big extension or renovation, I would be looking at a knockdown rebuild instead; you get a lot less headaches and a brand-new home.

“We have recently completed a custom build in Torquay where we took into account the client’s specific coastal design requirements and constructed a two-storey home complete with six bedrooms with the master room.

“It’s perfect for families with children and teenagers because you have your private areas but can still come together in that beautiful open-plan kitchen/dining/living space.

“This custom build has everything you could need and gives you plenty of space to relax and support a growing family,” Peter said.
