Knock down that old home for a better lifestyle
There is no doubt the family home is your castle where you can enjoy the lifestyle of your choice. It’s a place where you can feel safe and enjoy a sense of achievement.
But according to Jandson Homes many families are still living in a home that no longer suits the dynamics of their family and is well past its use-by date.
“One option is to renovate but that still means that many parts of the home are still going to be old including the plumbing and wiring and the foundations. In fact it is more cost effective per square to knock down the old house and replace it with a fresh new design that includes all the features you have always wanted.
“Sometimes it’s just the little things like more storage space but more often than not it’s the desperate need for a more functional, stylish kitchen, more bedrooms and lifestyle choices such as alfresco dining areas and rumpus rooms,” said Terry Sullivan.
According to Terry there are two different types of knock down rebuild families.
“We have families who are perfectly happy with the location of their family home and simply want a better, more functional place for the future. Then we have clients who want to live in a particular area and buy an old home with the intention of knocking it down.
“Whatever the reason, at Jandson we have a range of designs to suit all blocks of land. When building in an established suburb there are issues such as shadowing, building to land ratios and disruption to surrounding neighbours. There is also the approval process to go through and this can vary from council to council.
“Our team is experienced and highly skilled in the knock down rebuild field and our selection of designs ensures that a result that is both eye catching and changes your lifestyle for the better. The team works through all stages of the process with you so that you are fully informed on progress of the approval and construction stages
“It is important to remember that the family home is a great investment, the biggest for most of us, and does not incur capital gains tax. With low interest rates still applying, despite the recent increase, it’s a great time to get started.
“It’s not hard to image living in a brand new home, with your choice of smart colour scheme, the entertaining and family space features. At last, each of the kids can have their own bedroom and you won’t be hiding your stylish new Jandson kitchen,” Terry Sullivan continued.
