Building search for renovation in Alicante
Building search for renovation in Alicante and on the Costa Blanca: we help you find the right building for your project and survey it before you buy. A search and technical survey of the building before you buy, so that you know what works it needs, what the planning rules allow and how much it will cost.
Everything it takes, under a single contract
Finding the building
Matched to the use, location, floor area and budget of your project.
Technical survey
Structure, façades, roof, building services and hidden defects, before you buy.
Planning check
Permitted use, whether a hotel or a change of use (cambio de uso) is possible, heritage protection and the licences required.
Cost and timescale of the works
A first estimate of the cost of the works and a timetable before you sign the purchase.
Who it is for
For anyone who wants to invest in a building but does not have one yet: investors, hotel operators, developers and buyers who live outside Spain.
We start before the purchase, while there is still a choice. That way the building you buy is the one that suits your project, and not the other way round.
Finding the building for your project
We start from what you want to do: the use, the location, the floor area and the budget. On that basis we look for buildings that fit and rule out the ones that never could.
Every building we put forward comes with what we have found in it: what the regulations allow, the condition it is in and the works it would need.
Technical survey before you buy
We visit the building and check the things that decide the cost of the works:
- The structure: floor slabs, columns and foundations.
- The façades and the roof.
- The main building services: electricity, water and drainage.
- Hidden defects: damp, cracks and whatever tends to turn up once walls and floors are opened up.
With that survey you know what needs doing to the building before you commit to the purchase.
Planning check
We check which use the local plan (planeamiento urbanístico) allows, whether there is room for a hotel or a change of use, whether the building is protected and which licences will have to be applied for.
We take care of the whole process: the technical side, the planning side and the legal side of the sale and purchase as well.
Cost and timescale of the works, before you buy
From the technical survey and the planning check we prepare a first estimate of the cost of the works and a timetable. Those are the two figures you are missing to decide whether the purchase makes sense.
The return, with your own figures
We work out the investment figures with you: we supply the cost and timescale of the works; you supply the purchase price and what you expect the building to bring in. In the investor's guide we explain what a feasibility study looks like.
And afterwards, the same team
If you buy, the building is not handed over to another contractor: the same team draws up the design and handles the licences, takes on integrated project management and carries out the turnkey construction.

What to know before you start
Do you handle the whole purchase process?
Yes. We find the building, study it from a technical and planning point of view, work out the cost and timescale of the works, and also handle the legal side of the sale and purchase.
Can you survey a building I have already found?
Yes. With the address or the cadastral reference (referencia catastral) we carry out the planning check and, after a site visit, the technical survey.
What do you check in the technical survey?
The structure, the façades, the roof, the main building services and the hidden defects that can be detected before purchase.
And the legal side of the sale and purchase?
That is ours too: we take care of the whole process. Tell us about your case and we'll explain it on +34 602 510 710.
Can I hire you for the works afterwards?
Yes. The same team can take on the design, the licences, the project management and the works on the building you buy.
Before you invest, understand the build.
