Yes, in most cases, you’ll need planning permission or a demolition permit from your local council before knocking down an existing property. It’s always best to engage us early on so we can understand what’s needed for your specific site.

While every project is different, a knockdown rebuild is often more cost-effective than purchasing a new block of land due to the rise in costs of renovating an older home, especially if the existing property has structural issues or outdated features. Rebuilding also gives you a brand new, energy-efficient home with lower ongoing maintenance costs.

From planning and approvals to demolition and construction, a knock down rebuild typically takes anywhere from 8 to 12 months. This can vary based on factors such as the complexity of the build, weather conditions, council approval times, and the availability of materials or trades. We can provide you with a more accurate time frame for your site after our initial meetings.

Generally, no. If you already own the land and are simply rebuilding on it, you won’t have to pay stamp duty again. Stamp duty is typically charged only when you purchase a property, not when you demolish and rebuild an existing one. However, stamp duty will apply to the purchase if you’re buying a property specifically to knock down and rebuild.
