Home Extensions Brisbane

Have you outgrown your Home? – The Good news is you don’t have to move!

Moving house is stressful when you have to prepare home for sale, sell it and then buy a new home all within the settlement periods.

In the current housing boom – Yes you will be able to sell your home – But buying the home you need and love will be difficult.

If you like where you live , then adding an extension makes a lot of sense!

You can simply extend your current mortgage or refinance it to fund a new room and renovate your existing home.

You can modify your home to add what you need.

Even if you decide to buy a new home – there will be things that require change.

When adding an extension or renovation, you can design exactly what you want and need with the new rooms or areas.

It’s more affordable to add an extension

In most cases, an extension is more affordable than a move,

particularly when you take into account real estate fees and stamp duty.

If you have equity in your home, consider refinancing your mortgage to fund the extension.

You can tailor your extension to your budget.

Before we start we have to address the elephant in the room and it is the first question we get asked – How Much Is This Going To Cost?

You won’t know the exact cost of extending a house until you’ve made

plans and know how large the extension is going to be and what will be

included.

As a general rule, an 80 square metre low set extension costs between $160,000 and $320,000.

This works out to approximately $2000/m2 to $4000/m2.

The price variables is due to material costs and labor costs

If you’re adding a second storey then these costs can be 50 percent more

If you want to add a second storey, the average square metre

cost is between $3000 and $3500.

One type of extension we have seen a lot lately is modifying a garage to become and extra bedroom or living area.

This can be a great cost effective way of adding to a home without as big a price ticket of a new room addition

The cost of transforming a garage is typically $7,500 to $20,000,

You may also need to consider adding a carport to provide car parking area.

You do not want to over capitalise and nor do you want to under capitalise!

One formula we found to be useful is to set 2% of your homes value to a bathroom renovation. For example, if you have a house worth $700K your finished bathroom renovation budget would be $14,000.
