Property Extras
Many times it´s tempting to look or request viewings on properties which are priced well below your budget but which don´t have a lot of the things you´ll require and will need to add to make the property perfect.
Often this can be a good approach e.g. a blank canvas which will allow you to create your perfect property here in Spain but equally it can be a false economy. When the cost of adding all you need well exceeds the price you could have purchased a property for that has all in situ what´s the sensible way forward.

Re Decoration: We work with a number of great local based painters who will be able to to transform the interior or exterior of any property beautifully and inexpensively. See our buyers guide for details but as an example to repaint the entire interior walls and ceilings of a 3 bedroom villa ranges between 800 - 1,200€ and for the exterior, providing in good condition, allow the same.
New kitchen: On an average 11m2 kitchen,including all appliance, purchase and install ranges from 3,800 - 7,000€ depending on quality of units and material used for work tops / kick boards.
Stone cladding around exterior walls: In recent years this has become very popular and to clad a 3 bed villa with natural stone to a height of 1.2m comes in at around 3,800€.
Fly screen enclosures: These vary hugely in cost depending on size and adding things like doors. A small one enclosing say one part of a porch would come in at around 3,000 - 4,000€ but most area are a lot larger and would cost at least 12,000€
