Mornington Peninsula Knockdown & Rebuild Experts
Knockdown and Rebuild vs Renovation
You love your community and know all your neighbours by name. Your children play with their children and go to the same school. You’re a familiar face at the local shops, and they’re always happy to see you. The only problem is that you’ve outgrown your home.
For many families yearning for the space and advantages of a larger, modern dwelling, a knockdown and rebuild is a logical choice. The great news is that upgrading your home without leaving the neighbourhood is surprisingly straightforward and pragmatic. It’s not just a practical choice but also a smart financial move.
Knockdown rebuilds have many advantages over renovations. Depending on the number of rooms being added and whether upgrades are needed for things like plumbing and electricity, a renovation can often cost as much as a new build. This is especially true if energy efficiency is a priority for you, as improving the rating of older homes requires significant investment. All Waltara Homes are designed to achieve a minimum 6-star energy rating (in Victoria, the average rating is 1.8 stars).
Waltara Homes is a knockdown rebuild specialist. We deeply understand that many families have a sentimental connection to their existing house, and the thought of demolishing and rebuilding can be overwhelming. Our dedicated design team will collaborate with you to craft a custom-built home that will cater to your growing family’s needs and honour the cherished memories of growing up in the neighbourhood.
Downsize and Capitalize
For those homeowners whose kids have left the nest, a knockdown-rebuild of the old family home is an ideal way to unlock property value and create a more practical and suitable dwelling for the next phase of your life.
Many of the houses in the bayside suburbs of the Mornington Peninsula are on blocks large enough to subdivide or redevelop as dual-occupancy or townhouses. This presents the option of creating a new home for yourself and an additional property to sell or generate an ongoing income.
The Waltara Homes team thoroughly understands local planning regulations throughout the Peninsula and will provide you with reliable information on what is and isn’t possible.
