Thinking of buying an old house in Mt Waverley or Chadstone and "just renovating"? Read this before you sign anything... 🛑👇
It happens all the time: A family spends top dollar on an established home, expecting a quick kitchen upgrade. Fast forward 6 months, and they're facing $80,000 in structural rewiring, subfloor repairs, and single-pane window heat loss.
The debate between BUILD vs. BUY in the Monash area isn't just about prices—it’s about hidden holding costs and peace of mind.
Here’s what you need to know right now:
✅ Buying: Instant settlement, but high stamp duty & unpredictable maintenance.
✅ Building/KDRB: Massive stamp duty savings, 7-star energy bills, built for your lifestyle—if you manage council overlays correctly.
Don't let unexpected costs swallow your family's future equity.
