Building Extensions

Make your home work better for you with an extension to your living space

Moving house is one of life’s most stressful events. If you are happy with your location, position and surroundings but feel you are lacking in rooms or space, then it isn’t always necessary to consider a move.

Every plot in Spain is permitted a percentage of its total size to be built on. If you haven’t already taken full advantage of your maximum build space then an extension could be the solution to make your home work better for you and your family.

There are many options to consider when thinking about an extension. You need to think about how you use your property and in which areas you feel most compromised.

  • Do you need additional rooms, or are the existing rooms simply not large enough?
  • Do you have under-utilised space underground?
  • Is your property a single storey building with dead roof space?
  • Would you like dedicated guest accommodation that maintains some independence from your mail property?
  • Do you have ample land to extend horizontally?
