As land becomes increasingly scarce in certain suburbs, more and more people are opting to knock down and rebuild their home, rather than buy a new block and build.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wanting to stay in your existing area is no surprise when you live in such a beautiful region as the Surf Coast.<\/p>\n

Local Hotondo Homes builder Peter Scott believes the benefits of choosing to knockdown and rebuild are wide ranging. \u201cMore often than not people come to us wanting to build a home that will suit their existing lifestyle, family and budget requirements,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want to build their dream home, a home that is in-line with current market needs and wants.\u201d<\/p>\n

The most common reason a family will opt for a knockdown and rebuild project is they don\u2019t want to move away from their family and friends, change their local supermarket or local schools.<\/p>\n

But the benefits go far beyond that, from building to suit your lifestyle needs and removing the need to find land, to no stamp duty, less maintenance and an increase in home equity; there is a lot to consider.<\/p>\n

When weighing up a knockdown and rebuild with renovating an existing home, Mr Scott believes that constructing a new home will ensure home owners don\u2019t have to compromise on their needs, comforts and quality that today\u2019s building innovations can offer.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew homes are smarter homes, they are built using the latest technologies in structural integrity and energy efficiency. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou really can\u2019t compare the benefits of rebuilding as opposed to renovating,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimilarly, a knockdown and rebuild project can often be cheaper than extending or renovating an existing home due to the builder having to work in and around existing structures.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople will choose to renovate if they love the existing structure of their home and the block of land they\u2019re on, however, in my experience building something new to suit the person or family\u2019s current needs is often the preferred option.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to major renovations, quite often you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re dealing with until you get in there, that\u2019s where the costs can spiral.\u201d<\/p>\n
