Older villas in La Nucía often have great bones but need updating for modern living. Here's what to consider before starting.
Assessing an Older Villa
Before planning the renovation itself, it's worth properly assessing the property's structure, plumbing, electrics and roof condition — issues here can affect both budget and sequencing of the wider project.
Common Issues to Address
- Outdated electrics that may not meet current standards
- Ageing plumbing prone to leaks or reduced water pressure
- Insulation and window sealing, often minimal in older builds
- Roof condition, particularly on flat-roofed Spanish properties
- Damp or structural issues that need addressing before cosmetic work
Sequencing the Renovation
For older villas, it usually makes sense to address structural, plumbing and electrical issues first, before moving on to layout changes and finishes — tackling cosmetic work first can mean redoing it later.
