Villas in and around Benissa range from older family houses on sloping plots to newer homes by the coast. Renovation costs follow the same pattern as the houses: the plot, the age and the shell of the building matter at least as much as the finishes inside.
Whole villa or part villa
Some owners renovate in one go; others do kitchens and bathrooms first and the rest later. A full renovation is often more efficient because the trades are planned once, but a phased plan can suit a budget or a house you still use. We can plan either, as long as the order makes sense: services and structure first, finishes last.
The shell comes first
- Roof and terraces. Leaks and failed waterproofing are the usual causes of damp indoors, so we look at them before the interior.
- Underbuilds and retaining walls. Houses built into a slope can have damp at the lower level. Treating it properly protects the work you do above.
- Windows and doors. Older frames lose heat in winter and keep it out poorly in summer. Replacing them changes how the house feels, not only how it looks.
- Electrics and plumbing. Older villas may need new boards, rewiring and new pipework before new finishes go in.
Plot and access
Steep drives, narrow roads and steps all affect the cost of getting materials in and rubble out. Sloping plots can also mean retaining walls and drainage work around the house. We look at all this on the first visit.
Outdoor living
In Benissa, the terrace and pool area are part of the living space for much of the year. Waterproofing, paving, pergolas and lighting are worth planning at the start, since the terrace is often reached through the rooms being renovated.
Second homes
If the villa is a holiday home, we plan the work around your visits and keep you informed while you are away.
