Hi all,
We're considering buying an early 90s build, 2-story, brick veneer house in Sydney. It's built on a concrete slab.
The bricks are pretty gross. The window and door frames are also gross and need replacing. Before we knew it was veneer, we were planning on just cladding or painting the exterior. Now we know it is veneer, I'm wondering two things:
1. How hard/expensive is it to remove the veneer and replace it with something else? Is that a better option than just cladding/painting?
2. Is there a good insulation/sound proofing solution for this situation?
Grateful for directions. If/once we buy, we'll engage builders, but would like to get more of an idea of what we're getting into without wasting their time pre-purchase.
Cheers,
Chris
