Having said this, round here developers have cottoned on to the
fact that bungalows generally occupy fairly generous sites so
they sell on their redevelopment rather than intrinsic value.

What, in America, is charmingly referred to as a "scraper", since
you buy the site and scrape the bungalow off it with a bulldozer.



The generic term in this country - in the magazines at least - appears
to be "bungalow eating". This also, of course, covers the cases where
the original isn't simply removed, but is extended, extended, extended.

In some cases a two floor house is not allowed to be built if a bungalow is
there. So, people build a basement and re-build the bungalow.
