Scenario 3: Divide and conquer
The process
You are living the ‘quarter acre dream’. You
have a house and garden and room to spare.
You want to make the most of the space but
you can’t because your house is in the wrong
place.
Older homes with larger land parcels are not
always positioned optimally. If you own or are
planning to buy a site that is sub-dividable, with
the intention of adding a second, or even third,
dwelling, the existing house may be hindering
your plans.
Remove and Rebuild gives you more options.
Before we even think about removing an
existing dwelling, a full evaluation is carried out,
taking into account all the possible pitfalls. This
includes everything, from site zoning, existing
use rights and access for heavy machinery, to
which trees you would like to keep. Once this
initial assessment has been completed, the real
planning can begin. Working together, we build
a clear picture of your new home, before going
to the design, and then build phase. Before you
know it, you have a new home, without leaving
the street.
Out with the old
Older houses can be cold, draughty and
a lot of work to maintain, whereas new
houses are designed with comfort in mind.
Replacing an older house with a new one
can have many benefits, including:
• A warmer living environment due to
double glazing and robust insulation
• Improved energy efficiency
• Minimal maintenance
• Fantastic water pressure
• Life-enhancing technology
• Maximum resale value
• A blank canvas on which to make
your mark... a Landmark
