Re: Knock down rebuild - where to live? 17Nov 29, 2021 10:01 am simongrunwald Hey guys, I'm looking to do a knockdown rebuild very soon and im just preparing where to live during the building process. My main question is. - I have a completed granny flat on my property that will be out of the way of the actual area of construction. Would there be an option for me to live there during the construction period? I have even come up with the idea I could actually make an access point in my neighbor's fence so I can leave the area without having to go near the construction area. If i was able to get all the relevant connections made to keep the flat up and running and avoid the construction site would this be possible? Rather than me having to move and pay for another property for the duration? If anyone can guide me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Simon. Simon Just to chime in - you can absolutely live in your granny flat - I am doing exactly that as I type! I just negotiated it with my builder. In today’s market with extended delivery times it’s the best decision I have made during this whole building journey!

There are so many builders out there, there will probably be many who will agree. Re: Knock down rebuild - where to live? 19Apr 02, 2022 10:52 pm Have finally chosen a builder and they have said I can't stay on the property. It really sucks as the granny flat will be totally blocked off from the build and I also have the neighbour allowing me to use her property to get to and from my flat. Is there any options left? Thanks in advance. Re: Knock down rebuild - where to live? 20Apr 03, 2022 1:26 am simongrunwald Have finally chosen a builder and they have said I can't stay on the property.

Thanks in advance. Have they told you why? I can honestly think of no reason why they wouldn’t so there must be some reason they’re saying no. As I said, we live in our granny flat and our house is being built not 2 meters in front of the granny flat. We've had the offer of a short term tenant whilst waiting for CDC/DA home approval and demolition for our knock down rebuild. It would achieve a pretty low rent as it's… 0 13752 Hi I live in a 100yr old semi and my neighbour added an additional floor last yr and our architect has advised that we can knock down our semi and build a free-standing… 0 37714 5 6813 |
