Hi all,
My wife and I just purchased our first house (1954 3brm) and it came with a very out of the ordinary extension to the original home. The foundations are connected and walls are connected, but roofs are separated by a very poor attempt at an internal gutter between the eves (all consented – 25yrs ago).
We’ve had a number of builders and roofers around, they’ve suggested a butanol internal gutter is likely the best fix ($10k), with the other being a completely new roof structure to tie the buildings together ($30K-40k).
However, if we separated the two structures (remove the internal gutter) and put a deck between, making the house 2brms with a large sleep out/guest room (yet to be priced) – would this affect the value of the property adversely?
