you have your points and they are valid to up to certain points.

but its not for everyone and up to an individual lifestyle.

from your comment i think you mostly had bad neighbours experience.....
been there before and i dun blame you.

Thanks for your help ran_deep.

They did told me that it's the drilling type which if not mistaken will bring less effect to the surrounding house?

I am the only house that stick with his house as I am right next to corner house.

They estimated to be 1.5years and fastest to be 1 year because the project is rather extensive.

At the same time, they are not rushing. So it's going to be slow progress.

If they make your house unlivable, perhaps they should compensate you for renting another place.

Hi guys, I recently bought a sub sale house and plan to move in for own stay.

So coincidence that my next door which is a corner house sold to someone too. This new owner wanted to do major renovation which include 10+ points of piling and extend the houses all the way. They are in the middle of discussing with engineers and architect for this project and submitting renovation plan to local council soon.

But They are kind enough to inform me that the renovation is planned to start in end of this year and it would take roughly 1.5 years to 2 years. I am home based worker and both my wife and newborn baby would be staying at the house. Since the renovation is superb noisy in the morning so we are forced to find a new place to rent for 2-3 years period 

Meaning I would need to pay both my house and rental house which is rather unaffordable for me at the moment

Anybody faces this problem before which your neighbour doing major renovation that has unbearable noise for extensive period of 2 years? Any advise from you all?

Thank you very much in advanced. 

p/s : The house is ~35 years old Double Storey Terrace
