Knock Down and Rebuild

August 3, 2022

Each year we are finding that more and more people are coming out to a HomeWorld display village because they are considering a knock down and rebuild and they want to see what their options are.

The most common reasons that we hear from people about why they are looking to knock down and rebuild (across Sydney and NSW) are:

Reason 1 – They love where they live but their current home no longer meets their needs (or it is just old and they want an upgrade).
Reason 2 – Are seeking suburbs with established infrastructure and services to build their forever home.
Reason 3 – Vacant land is getting harder to find.
Reason 4 – Renovations are costing so much, that they now think they are better off knocking their entire home down to build something new.

So they decide it’s time to take a trip to HomeWorld, here they can:

• Step inside display homes and see just what they can achieve if they decide to build something brand new.
• Chat with the building companies on site to help answer any questions and to explain the process.
• Custom Builders on site who can help design something bespoke to suit your block of land.
• Sloping block specialists who know how to get the most out of your block with the right design.

One of the biggest benefits we hear from visitors is that the sales teams that are on site understand the process so well, including things like local council requirements. This is important because the local council’s code for new houses in the area can often change. There are also builders who can help people who are looking to knock down one home to build things like a duplex or a home with a granny flat on the block.

A visit to HomeWorld is also a great way to compare your options and costs against doing a renovation. The reality is that for many people the costs involved in renovating are higher per square metre than building a brand new home. So it is definitely worth exploring your options.

If you are currently living in an older home a visit to HomeWorld also allows you to see the latest design trends, in home technology, floor-plans and sustainable living options.

This will help you to start your planning and to identify:

• What is going to be important to you in your new home (think about now and in the future).
• Things you want to keep, or capture, on your current block (eg: swimming pool or are there views you wish to capture).
• What areas of your home you wish to upgrade or allocate more of your funds to.
• Colour schemes you like/don’t like
• Areas you may want to customise

(Note: the more time you can put into thinking through these things up front, the easier it will be when you meet with builders).

Most people we chat to at HomeWorld come back to our villages regularly throughout different stages of their planning process. Many of them continue to visit even after they have decided on the builder and their home, as there is no easier way to get ideas and inspiration for things like tiles, staircases, colour selection etc…
