Love your location, but not your home?
If your block is in the perfect spot but your house has reached the end of its life, a knockdown rebuild can offer a fresh, modern home without having to sacrifice the suburb you love.
Do I renovate, or just start fresh?
House & Land Co are Perth’s knockdown rebuild specialists and help to streamline every step, from home demolition in Perth to handing over your new keys.
If you already own land (or are inheriting family land), many Perth homes built decades ago no longer meet modern standards for layout, energy efficiency or liveability. Rather than renovating around old problems, knocking down and rebuilding from scratch gives you a clean start, a contemporary design and a significant increase to asset value, all without leaving your postcode.
The demolish & build advantage
Stay in your ideal location
A knock down and rebuild lets you remain close to schools, transport, family and lifestyle essentials. You keep everything you love about your suburb while completely upgrading your home.
Modern design on your terms
Choose a layout that suits your current lifestyle, not one from decades ago. Our builder network offers flexible homes with smart layouts, natural light, modern features and future-proof design options.
Avoid hidden costs and patchwork headaches
Renovations can uncover structural issues, electrical problems or water damage that balloon your budget. A tear down and rebuild replaces constantly changing costs with a predictable, fixed-price solution.
Increase your land value with a modern home
Replacing an ageing property with a new build immediately improves street appeal and boosts long-term value. A modern home makes far better use of a Perth block and strengthens your future resale potential.
Fast, fixed-price builds through our builder network
We compare Perth’s leading rebuild specialists for you, securing competitive pricing, clear timelines and strong warranties, so the process is smooth and managed by professionals who do this every day.
Suits investors, retirees, upgraders & subdividers
Whether you’re an investor wanting a low-maintenance rental, a family needing more space, or a homeowner exploring subdivision, these packages can be tailored to suit any goal.
Our proven knockdown rebuild process
Council approval, demolition & site preparation
We handle the tricky parts: lodging the correct paperwork, obtaining demolition quotes, organising any necessary site works, and giving you a clear estimate of what it will cost to knock down your house.
Design, compare & customise
Once the site is set, we explore design options and builders that suit your budget and vision. You pick a floorplan, we show you comparable builds and specs, then help personalise what matters most: layouts, storage, finishes and fittings.
Sign, build & get the keys
After approvals and contracts, construction begins at a fixed price you can trust. We keep you updated, handle any issues that crop up and make sure the build stays on track, right through to handover.

What would the repayments look like?

Is a knockdown rebuild right for you?
A rebuild is ideal if your current home needs major upgrades, your block itself is especially valuable, or renovation costs are close to what a brand-new home would demand.
| Knock down & rebuild | Renovate | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost certainty | A predictable, fixed-price solution, designed from the ground up | Costs can change as problems are uncovered mid-project |
| Hidden problems | You start from a clear site, so there is nothing to uncover | Structural issues, electrical problems or water damage can appear |
| Layout | A design that suits how you live now | Working around a layout drawn decades ago |
| Modern standards | Built to current standards for energy efficiency and liveability | Older homes may not meet modern standards for layout or efficiency |
| Land value | Immediately improves street appeal and long-term resale potential | Improvement is limited by the existing structure |
This is our case for rebuilding, and it will not be right for every block. We have written a longer, balanced comparison at knock down rebuild vs renovation. Worth reading before you decide.
