Rebuilt.
Design it into 2 story, different entrance exactly like a townhouse. Each floor is its own functioning unit, each take one floor. Each need different set of keys, dun give the key to parents.
In future, want buy new, your unit can rent out aso.

Btw where is your location?

Here's my suggestions TS, whichever is your decision it has to be with the property that uses the least green houses gas to live in example electricity.

So the story is that, me and gf are currently living with my parents at my parents place.
We are both age to get married and planning to get our own place.
Sadly with no savings enough for downpayment, we opted to go for project under constructions due to completed in ~2-2.5yrs Price 600k, 960sqft

Hearing this, my mum suggested to rebuild our current place.
Having quoted for construction cost of about 400k-450k for 1 1/2 story with combined floor of 2600sqft.

New hse - 960sqft, RM600k, freehold
Pros
- own place
- linked to highway and KTM station
- downstairs is a mall
- high floor, KLCC view

Cons
- high floor (inconvenience if blackout/no water)
- under constructions
Rebuild - 2600sqft, ~RM450k, leasehold (~90yrs left)
Pros
- Cheaper
- landed
- parents can take care of children if having one in future

Cons
- Still living with parents, not own place

Hope someone could shine some light on this, maybe share exp if encounter before.

IMO, landed is way better.

If you want to rebuild might as well go for two storey, you live on second floor.
Parents live on first floor. that way you live together but separate in a way.

Also you should only rebuild if the house is sold to you.
then it's your parents staying with you, not you staying with parents.
