Know When to Renovate or Knock Down Rebuild (KDR)

Renovating or knocking down and rebuilding is always a hard decision. You don't just have to consider your finances and conveniences. You are deciding on a home that you've probably spent decades in. You may have feelings of attachment. It is hard to let go with something you've gotten so used to.

Of course, if the features and fixtures of your home no longer conform to current standards, you need to update it, one way or another. How do you decide between a renovation or Knock Down Rebuild Brisbane? Ison Homes helps you out with an easy guide.

Age

The age of your home could either be adding character to it or giving you a lot of headaches. If age adds value to your home, it might pay off to just keep it as it is and just renovate. If, on the other hand, you are getting headaches instead of profits, then KDR may be the better option.

Lifestyle

You also have to consider your current lifestyle. This has bearing during construction work and your living requirements after.

Renovation means there will be a lot of disruptions in your regular day-to-day. Are you and your family adaptable to this? Or will throw off your rhythm and render you unproductive? KDR requires you to move out during construction period and just come back when everything's in place. The approach is simple and may just be what you need.

When you move in, are your needs going to be the same? A familiar story in our Knock Down Rebuild Brisbane experience is that a family's children has moved out and parents now need less room. After all a big home is costly to maintain. What they sometimes do is opt or a KDR to turn their big home into a duplex. They live in one unit and rent out the other.

Location

Many places in Brisbane experience a lack of land. When people want a new home, they have to build over their old one. This is typical in places close to the beaches and cities.

Cost

Of course, you need to consider your costs. Renovations need to work around your current features and fixtures. For instance, a bathroom renovation will require a design that works with your current piping and the like. KDRs allow you to start over, presumably with a more efficient home layout.

Budget

Finally, the biggest consideration is budget. While renovation may seem like the cheaper option, it isn't always the case. Renovation can give rise to problems caused by typical wear and tear. It can end up costing a lot more than just starting over with KDR Brisbane.
