    Hi George, nice house! Was wondering what is the width of your land?

    Rebuilding was the only option for us since the house has been empty for years and not in liveable condition. Also, we love rebuilding a home to suit our needs. Our previous home was also rebuilt. It’s a long process but ultimately fulfilling.

    Hey shhh201, congrats to you too on your purchase. We have decided to build a detached house after some considerations. The main plus point for us was to be able to have windows on all sides of the house. The 50% plot coverage wasn’t a concern for us as the land size was more than sufficient. Also as we currently live in a semi-d, living in a detached would be a change for us. The 12m width was the pain point as we are quite used to our current place width which is 13m and a semi d, hence the built in width was 11m. But with some good placements of the staircase like not having a U shape staircase, it turns out ok. Did also visit some developer built houses which were of similar widths to get a feel of the internal space. My builder had also advised that land of this size and width will almost always be rebuilt into a detached. I guess when it comes to resale, a semi d may have sort of invisible cap in the price, whereby buyers may not pay above a certain amt if it’s a semi d. On the other hand, detached doesn’t seem to have this problem.

    Yes, my land is a rectangular shape with a depth of 47m and in a 2 storey zoning. I think a GFA of 7500 is more or less sufficient as I do not have a very big family. Will the bank valuation for a detached be higher than a semi d?

    Hi everyone, I recently bought a land which is about 6100 sqft and will be rebuilding it. Currently the house is a Semi D, but is able to rebuilt into a Detached. Would like to seek some advice if I should rebuilt it to a Semi D or Detached. My main concern is that the land only has 12m of width, by building to a detached, the house would only have 8m of width as compared to 10m for a semi d. Will 8m be too narrow for a detached? Other than being a detached house, are there any benefits in rebuilding it into a detached? Thank you in advance.
