Hello everyone,
I am planning a new build on my property, where there is currently an old building.
The plan was for the new build to be located further north and for the old building at the front to be demolished.
The building dates back to around 1900 and is about 150 sqm (1,615 sq ft).
The basement is damp, with water pushing in from below.
The house was heated with oil.
The ground floor looks okay, but the basement and upper floor need quite a bit of work.
What definitely needs to be replaced:
- Windows
- Electrical system
- New radiators
- New oil boiler?
- All floors
- All walls
- Possibly roof work
Around 50–60k USD (or equivalent)?
Under certain conditions, the old building could remain without demolition (I don’t want to go into detail about that here).
One idea I have:
- The garages and extension attached to the old building would be removed, and my parents would move into the old building after renovation. They are looking for a new place in a few months. The entrance would then be on the northeast side.
My father would help me financially and would also pay rent. I estimate the old building to be about 145 sqm (1,560 sq ft).
If my parents are no longer living there someday, the demolition could then take place.
What is your assessment? I have uploaded some pictures. A few architects have already visited the building but weren’t certain.

Well, we’ve really brought in a throwaway society here No no, I don’t really think like that.... there were a few other factors involved as well.
Thank you for your responses....
One final detail... the new building will be moved further upwards, about 4 meters (13 feet) closer to the boundary, and the double garage will be removed. Instead, there will be a 4-meter (13-foot) wide carport with a separate storage area at the back for bicycles, etc.
I will probably try to take over the old garages.
Question: The main entrance of the new building is also located there... is 4 meters (13 feet) really enough?

The garage is L-shaped but very spacious inside; part of it could even be used for a small workshop, although I am not one yet.
The wooden ceiling would need to be replaced (at least in some areas), and I would plan the driveway on the south side facing the street.
