Is it cheaper to build or buy a house in South Africa?
The short answer is that it is cheaper to buy an existing house in South Africa but every year less so.
Leaks. 2 main areas of the house: 1) front (area 1) 2) back (area 2) Front = Garage area (area 1) Back = Where new extended part of house and old extended part meet. Garage Multiple leaks at garage area that causes floor to be wet and mouldy when it rains. In garage there are beams, and at one location there is a vertical rise (wooden planks), with eroded plastic insulation. Gaps in between wooden planks as well. And then, is it leaking in other parts of roof as as well? Area 2: Over time, wear and tear occured where the two parts of the house meet (old and new, roof). Likley in the insulation structures.
Semi detached - need only my side inspected and advised on for full roof repair or replacement, really not sure. Rain gets in from I dont know where and ceilings are affected over winter. Really need help without the costs to advise but need to do something so it doesnt get any worse and it is fixed to last for another 50 years

Good day We are looking to do a new build on an existing house, meaning take down the current house and build a new house. We have an idea of what we want as a start but are willing to take guidance from a professional. We are looking to build a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, open plan living area with a garage.
