Love your location, but not your home?

Where to start

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.

Why people do it

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

01

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.

02

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.

03

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?

You already own the block, so there is no land to buy. This models the repayments on the build itself.

Weighing it up

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.
