As finance is one of the biggest considerations when choosing a knockdown rebuild solution, we believe it’s a good idea to speak to your lender as early as possible in the process to assess how much you can borrow. Your budget will help determine your design and additional features that will fit within your budget.

Remember, apart from the actual build, there are other considerations you may want to factor in, such as where you will stay during the build and additional inclusions you may want. We recommend including a buffer so you can truly finish your home the way you had always dreamed.

Of course, if you don’t already have a lender, we’d be happy to refer you to a highly experienced and specialised mortgage broker to assist with obtaining a pre-approval and guiding you through to completion to help make the process seamless.

When starting your knockdown rebuild journey, there are a few things worth knowing and researching to help you make the right decision. Here are a few important steps to ensure your process runs smoothly.

Step 1: Know the details of your block. Make sure you have your titled documents with all overlays and caveats to help with understanding build restrictions and considerations.

Step 2: Think about the future – take the time to think about how you want to live in the years ahead and what may change. Put your wish list together, considering your family members and even your pets to create your dream home.

Step 3: Know your style – create a mood board of what you like including styling, finishes and aesthetics, and colour preferences to assist at colour selection appointments. That will help match the style choices to your vision.

Step 4: Seek our help when needed – we pride ourselves on helping our clients find the best styling solutions. Call us to make an appointment and we can help you with everything from floorplans to colour schemes.
