Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
What size home
do you need?
17
Brick cladding is more affordable.
Tiny houses and smaller homes are
trendy and realistically how many square
metres do you really need? Determining
a suitable size for your new home will be
influenced by the number of bedrooms
needed, whether a separate lounge is
desired, size of garage required and your
budget.
A smaller home is not always more
affordable in terms of the square metre
rate as certain costs are still incurred
such as Council consent fees, and
drainage and wiring from the street.
While going larger does mean more
materials and time constructing the
home, its relative cost may make
it a better buy due to certain parts
of the home like the garage being
more affordable to construct. It is the
additional features, which pushes up the
price.
Savings can be made on a new build
by choosing more affordable quality
fixtures and fittings, which are not super
fashionable or top of the line. The kitchen
and bathrooms in particular can chew up
the dollars. The black sink and tapware
may look good but how long will you be
living with it and will it still be in vogue
in five or ten years’ time. Renovating that
soon, may not be part of your plans.
It is a matter of achieving a balance
between those desired extra features and
making your home special while sticking
to the budget. A pantry may be high on
the list yet does it need a sink and would
shelving instead of cupboards do? A
washbasin in the main toilet may not add
that much extra to the cost and could be
convenient when entertaining, though it
is still another expense. A double vanity
is great if he and she arise at the same
time then fight for space in the bathroom
but it means two sinks to clean and takes
up more space. Fully tiled bathrooms
look glamorous and certainly have the
wow factor yet tiling round the bath and
laying vinyl planking could also make
a statement. If you need storage space
you may consider cupboards inside or a
larger garage with built-in shelving and
attic trusses.
When it comes to cladding, brick is still
the most affordable though this depends
on the type of brick chosen. High end
cedar and schist look great however a
more affordable alternative might be
mingling a brick cladding with linear
board for effect. Hip and gable roofs are
still the most affordable and may be a
suitable substitute for a skillion roof if no
preference is held.
As you finalise your house design,
work with your architectural designer
or building representative to determine
the features you really want and those
which might be excluded, as well as
where changes might be made to make
your new home affordable and practical
for you.
Determine the features
you really want.
