Hello,
I'm new here - thought I'd share why I'm here!
My partner and I are looking to extend our 3 bedroom 1 bathroom house next year sometime, adding on a lounge room and a master bedroom with ensuite.
We are in an area with a few gov't houses in the street so we don't want to overcapitalise, but we don't want to move as house prices are just crazy - we would have to at least triple our current mortgage to buy a 4b+ens house in Canberra, and we do like the area and the block. Slowly the houses around are being done up or sold off.
We have just started to talk to builders and have the details of a draftsman who has evidentially "never had plans knocked back" - he sounds like someone we want to know!
We're looking at up to about 120K for the extensions, but will talk to a few different builders.
Looking forward to sharing thoughts and hearing thoughts on here!
Cheers, Loco!!!
