Cortijos, Houses and Ruins - in need of Reforming

Reform.jpg (32194 bytes)We have a wide selection of properties throughout the area in various states of repair.  All of these will need reforming to make them habitable. 

In some cases there may not be Water and/or Electricity in the property.  In these cases we will assist you to get this connected or solar power installed so do not rule out properties purely on this basis.

We will also help you with all aspects of gaining permission to reform as well as directing an architect or builder on your behalf.

Please do not be put off buying a ruin (or any other old property) at the thought of what a major task it might be to reform it.   We are there to hold your hand and help you instruct the appropriate people for all the work if necessary so you hardly need to get involved - other than stating your preferences for decorating schemes!  This can be one of the most cost effective ways to obtaining your dream home in Spain.

Please note that its becoming increasingly difficult to get permission to rebuild complete ruins and the authorities are tending to only give permission to reform houses that effectively have 4 walls and a roof.   However the rules are changing all the time so our architect will investigate each case individually before you commit to purchase.

You should also note that some of the lower reference numbered properties below will have been on our books for quite a while when prices were higher and as such if not already reduced are quite likely to be highly negotiable.  Even with the later properties its always worth making an offer!

Here is a selection from the properties currently available.

R01408 01408 Cortijo to Reform in the hills just to the north of Huercal Overa.  Set in 2,500m2 of land the ruin itself can be reformed to around 120m2.  Unfortunately there is no mains electricity here so this would be an ideal opportunity to 'Go Green' and install Solar power....which also has the advantage of no ongoing electricity bills!  Spain is at the forefront of solar energy and subsidies are available for this form of power helping to offset the initial cost.
However when you consider the location and magnificent views afforded by this property the lack of mains electricity seem rather immaterial....this is the Real Spain!
