Can I rebuild on my land?

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about knocking down your old house and rebuilding a brand new home? We’ve got the answers to help you every step of the way.
Knockdown Rebuild
A knockdown rebuild in Melbourne can vary in price depending on the size of the original home, the layout of the land, and the style of the new design. Costs typically cover demolition, site prep, permits, and the build itself. As a general guide, expect pricing to range from $400,000 up to $1,000,000. To avoid surprises, be sure to ask about any potential extras during your initial consultation.
Most knockdown rebuild projects are funded through a construction loan, which releases funds in stages as the build progresses. Some lenders also offer tailored packages that cover both demolition and new home construction. Home Group’s finance specialists are here to help you explore your options with transparent, obligation-free advice to keep the process smooth and cost-effective.
If you’re deciding between renovating or rebuilding, it depends on the scale of the changes you need. Renovations suit small updates, but if you're after a major transformation, a knockdown rebuild gives you far greater flexibility. With Home Group, you can enjoy a fresh start with a fully customised home, designed to suit your lifestyle and future needs, plus the added benefit of improved energy efficiency and modern design features.
If you're rebuilding on land you already own, you typically won’t pay stamp duty on the new construction. However, if you’re buying a new block to knock down and build on, stamp duty will apply to the land purchase. Always check with a legal or financial expert to understand how this applies to your specific situation.
A full knockdown rebuild process with Home Group usually takes around 12 to 18 months from start to finish. This includes time for approvals, demolition, and construction. Demolition can take a few weeks, while the construction phase varies based on the design and any custom features you choose.
A knockdown rebuild is a smart choice if your current home is outdated, doesn’t meet your needs, or would cost too much to renovate. Rebuilding allows you to stay in the neighbourhood you love, while upgrading to a brand-new home with modern finishes, efficient layouts, and long-term value. With Home Group guiding your journey, you’ll have expert support every step of the way.
