Advisors real estate reforms Guardamar del Segura

If you have bought a second-hand property or are thinking in buying one in Spain, you will surely also think about making a small or large reform in the house.

In this article the real state Naranja Spain reviews the main refurbishments carried out in second hand housing and some tips to get the house of our dreams.

The first thing we have to do is to think and prioritize our needs, such as the space of the different rooms, kitchen, bathrooms, storage, what spaces we would like to have. This initial step is one of the most important, so we must take time to think it over and make the most of our home. So it meets our needs. For this also we should take into account the orientation of the house and weather conditions of the place to be able to choose the most appropriate materials. In Costa Blanca and coastal areas in general we must pay close attention to humidity inside the house and the wear of the facade by the salty winds coming from the mediterranean.

Due to the nature of our work in the real estate business we know in first hand which are the most common reforms done in costa blanca properties:

Replacing the bath by a shower plate, the advantages are:

To gain space.

Convenient for people with reduced mobility.

Saving water since in the province of Alicante it is so scarce and necessary.

The kitchen is another of the rooms that is usually reformed more often in a house because it is one of the most used spaces in the house. The current kitchen trends in apartments and houses by the beach are:

To take off the walls to have an open plan kitchen with space and luminosity.

Adding a dining area by placing a table or an island to increase the work surface or use it as a bar.

Smoothing and painting the walls.

Almost all the walls, even ceilings, of second-hand houses in the area of Guardamar del Segura are grainy texture gotelé type, which for some buyers It gives an aged appearance.

Today there are processes and methods of smoothing these with great results that manage to give a current look to the interior of our home.

Painting the walls with plastic paint is another very cheap measure that achieves incredible finishes.

These two together will bring a fresh look inside the home.

Change the floor for current or functional materials is another of the most requested reforms. From porcelain tiles, stoneware floors, laminates, wood ...

We can also change doors and frames to be in tune with the floor.

In coastal areas such as Guardamar del Segura to make this reform, if the house is a ground floor and does not have insulation in the ground, it should be isolated since it is the main entry of moisture to the house.

Replacement of sliding windows for hinge windows, since the latter close hermetically isolated from noise and temperature.

The most advisable materials are aluminum with thermal bridge and PVC. The thickness and number of crystals depends on the insulation we want to have.

As for the blinds it is advisable to put them with motor and not with a strap since the hole in the strap is an important leakage point of the insulation.

Changing the electrical circuit and electronic components of lighting is very important. In old homes, the materials used and the deterioration over time make it dangerous and ineffective, so it is convenient to renew it to save on the electricity bill and improve the security of our home.

Lighting is important to replace it with led as they are safer and more efficient.

It is very important to contact a good company of reforms without giving only importance to the budget of the reform since many times the price is expensive and becomes a headache, so devote enough time to search and compare different reform companies and their budgets.
