Homes in the North West
Across the North West, Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and modern estates all feature, and brick or stone matching is chosen to suit each street.
What does a knock down and rebuild involve?
We assess whether rebuilding is better value than extending and renovating, prepare the planning application for the replacement dwelling, manage the demolition notice and asbestos survey, then build the new home. The process runs much like a new build once the old house is cleared.
- Feasibility: rebuild versus extend and renovate
- Planning application for the replacement dwelling
- Asbestos survey, demolition notice and service disconnections
