Knockdown & demolition costs
The expenses associated with knocking down an existing home in Canberra
​
From our vast experience in demolishing homes in the Canberra region, the average cost you need to allow for the demolition of your existing home is around $20,000. However, the costs can vary depending on the scale of the existing house, where the property is located and any logistical challenges.
The Benefits of Knockdown/Demolition:
​
1. Save time and money by not having to try to find another block of land to build your dream home on.
​
2. No need to pay stamp duty or land tax.
​
3. No need for real estate agents fees, advertising fees, etc.
​
4. Having that feeling of living in an established area.
​
5. Higher resale value in an established area.
