In Brissie alone more than 2,100 homes were facing the wrecking ball, reports realestate.com.au.
That sits us well behind Melbourne where 6,075 homes were approved for demolition.
Sydney was next in line with 5,691 properties ready to wreck.
Perth property owners were set to tear down 1,433 homes while the smaller capitals bearly clocked up a few hundred between them.
If you think your home is ready to detonate rather than renovate, make sure you check with your local council before you call in the wreckers.
The Brisbane City Council offers this information on house demolition or removal:
- Check property information, including zoning, on the City Plan online
- Read up on the development application process
- Understand what approvals you need, which may including building, planning or plumbing approval and a footpath permit.
It may not be a walk in the park, but if you find your dream location with a property past its used by date, then it may be worth exploring.
