Buying Property on The Costa Blanca ~ Coastal or Rural?Written by Anthony Carter
Continued from page 1
If you do decide to buy inland you may choose an older property that is in need of renovation. Town houses and detached rural properties for renovation can still be purchased quite cheaply and building costs are lower than in UK. However, do bear in mind access for equipment and materials if you find something tucked away that needs major work. Alternatively have a look at new properties that are nearing completion that can also be good value. This would give you opportunity to influence final details of property such as tiles and kitchen units for example without having hassle of co-ordinating tradesmen for a renovation project. Another option is to buy a plot of land and design and build your own dream home. This is most demanding of options needing time and patience and it is essential that project is properly managed. If you are not able to spend extended periods of time in Spain yourself to undertake this task it is important that you have a reliable local manager to oversee project. Holidays and Homes can arrange this for you and keep you up to date with progress on a regular basis. This way you will ensure that end result meets your specification and expectations.
