Advice on Property for salr

    I was wondering if someone could steer me in the right direction. There is a property for sale that I'm interested in. Galway area Price is circa 60,000. The property is finished in so far as , she'll is complete, concrete stairs installed, roof complete, windows in and first fix plumb and electric are in . There is a slight issue with the weather tightness of the roof , which might require another bit of work, circa 5 but generally the house is in good nick. From what I gather it was built 10 years ago and is being sold by the bank.
    The problem I have got is this. The house itself is on the small size, it's a small storey and a half and the rooms upstairs and toilet are very cramped. The house itself is just too small and not suitable for family with any plans to expand beyond 2 kids.
    The question I am asking is would it be possible and viable to take the roof off as there are issues anyway and increase the overall footprint to increase the sqft by another 40 or so % replace the roof or is it worth my while knocking the house and re bul dig from skratch. Bearing in mind the site is worth the price it's for sale o it's own.

    u may not get planning for a bigger house.
    u need to check does it even have planning.
    If u knock it u will pay full planning fees plus demolition/removal costs of c 7 to 10k
    Does it have all the services, water elec etc

    It's got its own well and not 100 % on the elec. Planning was ok for what I'm looking to do. They were built well it designed poorly, just too small.
