When is it better to demolish than renovate
Meier Paul Real Estate - Demolish and build or renovate?
hello my name is Suzanne inform my
four-wheeler says welcome back to MPTV
and it's my pleasure to introduce Jason
Gao from my builder friends he's a
director of my builder friend and
specializes in consultancy and helping
clients people looking to build to look
out for any pitfalls in building a house
welcome thank you
now today I'm going to go straight in to
a number of scenarios that we've
actually come across and the clients
have asked us or come to us and we
thought that we were presented to you
and you could sort of help us in terms
of giving them some ideas and what to do
and what not to do so one of the areas
that we're finding a lot of people are
facing these days is basically they
enjoy where they lyrics they enjoy you
know the area neighborhood the suburb
but they just don't like the house doing
so their questions are for example
should we sell and move some of those or
should we just demolish build or
renovate so I guess in terms of your
specialties what do you think today
demolish and then or renovate what if it
depends on the house I gotta see the age
of the house if um if that house is a
lot older it sometimes is better just to
demolition to get rid of it but if the
house is still in really good condition
you can renovate point and extend public
that you've got remember that most of
that the plumbing electrical is still
going to be older than one day to be
renewed and later date as well so you've
got to take all that into consideration
so if you taste it you know the big step
and actually decide to demolish and
giving you home what are this that were
the first things we need to think about
obviously we've got the cost of
everything because obviously when you're
when you're demolishing you've got
things that Acosta demolish you also go
think of relocating to you're going to
be moving out and having rent for a
period of time as well and then
obviously the cost of building the new
home let's believe that the main three
things what about the council's like
what do they need to be you know be the
council's a demolition they need to be
involved obviously with a few plans they
need to be involved as well yeah dealing
with councils can be difficult some
councils are raises and others but if
you are anything my experience I'll fan
if you work with the council's there are
a lot more lenient so there's always
would go into the council and have a
like a pre-meeting and sit down and say
this is what we're looking to doing this
these are the plans that we want to
build might be every concerns and we can
work together at that early stage
instead of just trying to go to
counseling I want to get this past and
maybe we're arrogant about it because
they will deliver you now thank you so
much it's been really used to really
appreciate it thank you for listening to
another and session on MPTV and we look
forward to speaking to you again
you
