Keep or Sell

The decision is purely personal. It has

emotional, financial and practical

elements.

Look at your family needs, comforts

while you make the decision.

Important Criteria for the decision

● Location of work, education, hospitals

● Size of the house

● Capacity for expansion in the existing

plot of land

● Time available to invest in renovation /

rebuild of house

If you go for Rebuild using Knock Down Redo (KDR)

method

● Decision will depend on age and

condition of the structure of

house.

○ If it is worn out, rebuilding

would be a better option.

○ If house is old, like pre 1980

house, you need to check for

and get rid of hazardous

materials

Conditions for renovation

● Heritage homes cannot be

demolished without getting

into a bureaucracy quagmire.

So renovation is the best

option.

● The existing home has a basic

structure with all essential

features.

The whole discussion is nicely

summarized in one infographic
