Is it convenient to buy a property to reform in Spain?

Investing in a better located and cheaper housing can sometimes compensate, even if it has to be reformed.

The drop in housing prices that has occurred in recent years has meant that more and more second-hand floors and less new construction are being sold. The economic recession had a lot to do with this, although it seems that the situation is being reversed and the cranes have returned to become part of the landscape in some areas of Spain.

There are several advantages and disadvantages when investing in homes to reform, we will analyze each one so that you can choose the best option for your case.

Advantages

Cheapest houses: price is one of the most important arguments in favor of buying house to renovate. Usually, these are houses that are well located and have a lower price than a home that is to enter to live. In any case, before you buy, you must calculate without taking into account the reform (labor and materials) the reform is profitable.

Possibility of reforming to measure: if you have very clear how it has to be the house of your dreams, the best option are the houses to reform, that you will be able to modify to your taste and according to your needs. A new home does not offer this possibility or if you can choose some material will be a very restricted choice.

Subsidies: in some Autonomous Communities there are subsidies for housing reform, so it is advisable to report before you start because you could save money.

Disadvantages of buying houses to renovate

The uncomfortable to do works: you must evaluate if the works that have to be done in the house allow you to live in it while they are realized or not. In addition, you must be patient because we all know that works always last longer than expected.

The works are worth money: the cost of the works is a decisive factor when buying houses to reform, because if it is very high can affect the operation and not be profitable.
