Hi All,
I bought a house recently(Not yet settled). It is very old house and the seller had done all the renovation inside and looks very good. But the external is a Fibro which requires a bit of work. After discussion with RE agent and other tradies, I am told the following two options.
1. Remove the fibro and build with Bricks. As the house is very old, the fibro may contain Asbestos. So the cost of removing is very high and Brick work is an additional cost. I am told the total cost may run around 50K.
2. Do a cement Rendering on the existing fibro. I am told this will be cheaper but not sure how much.
The house is at Lidcombe NSW.
I need some suggestion or advice from you all experts.
Regards
Velli
