Hi all,
So we need a bigger home and I dont know if we should extend our house or just buy a bigger home. We live in Onehunga, Auckland in a two bedroom house (85sqm) on 630sqm of land.
We had some concept plans drawn up to increase the size of the house an extra 70sqm to a total of 155sqm. Adding a third and room, second bathroom and living area. Some indicative quotes from a couple of builders are coming in at about $300k to complete the job.
We keep going around in circles if we should renovate or just buy a bigger house for the same money but probably less land and not the same quality. We plan to move in three years and will extend if we can make some money when we sell.
Thought i would put it on here to see if anyone had any thoughts to help make a decision.
Cheers,
Mick
