Townhouses · Seafront Flats · Inland Villas · New Builds
Villajoyosa is a working Spanish town first and a resort second, and its housing shows it. Adding space might mean a townhouse in an old street, a seafront flat, or a villa on an inland urbanisation.
The colourful houses along the seafront are what visitors photograph, but the town extends well beyond them. Behind the front are older streets of townhouses, newer apartment blocks near the sea, and villas on urbanisations further inland.
Because people live here all year, extensions tend to be about practical family needs: a bedroom for a child, a workroom, space for an older relative. Our aim is to meet those needs without causing trouble for the street.
In the older parts of town, how a building looks from the street matters, and we ask the town hall's likely view early. Inland, the questions resemble those on any urbanisation, about plot, boundaries and structure.
Townhouses
Townhouses here often share walls with both neighbours and have a small rear patio. Gaining room means going up or into the patio, and either choice changes the light, the roofline and the party walls.
We assess the construction before proposing anything, because older buildings may be brick, stone or mixed. A technician will usually need to confirm what extra load the existing walls can safely carry.
Streets of close-set houses make access awkward. Materials may have to be carried by hand or hoisted from the front. We plan this into the programme, and we look after neighbours by keeping the street clear and clean.
Seafront
Seafront buildings face wind, salt and strong light. A terrace room or balcony enclosure here has to be built and finished to last in that environment, with attention to waterproofing and to any exposed metal.
The appearance of the facade is a shared matter. Owners of flats typically need their community's agreement, and where the building sits in a visually sensitive part of town, the town hall may also have views.
We tell you at survey what route is likely to apply. It is better to learn at the beginning whether a plan is realistic than to spend money on drawings for something that will not be approved.
Inland
Away from the coast, villas sit on plots with gardens and space to grow. Single-storey additions, a covered terrace made into a room, or a garden annexe are all realistic options, depending on the plot and the local rules.
For a new house, a technical architect prepares the project and licence application while we plan the build. Groundworks, structure, roof and every finishing trade are covered, with one point of contact throughout.
Owners living abroad can follow the whole process remotely. Staged photographs arrive as work progresses, calls are arranged when a decision falls due, and each agreed change goes in writing before it is built.
How it works
Our first look takes in the building, its street or plot, and the way you use it. We measure, photograph and ask about the people who will be living in the new space.
A free written quotation follows, setting out the scope and which items rest with the community, a technician or the council. We then wait for your decision without pressure.
Questions
Possibly. The existing walls must carry the extra load, and the town hall may consider how the street will look. We check both at survey and report what turns up.
It depends on your community and in some cases the council. The seafront setting also demands durable materials. The likely route is explained at survey, ahead of any drawing fees.
Yes, where the plot allows. Whether it counts as an outbuilding or another dwelling is for the town hall to say. We tell you what looks likely and build only what is properly permitted.
Yes, on suitable plots. An architect draws the project, the licence is applied for, and the house is built under our management. You hear early if the plot looks problematic.
Across the area
Villajoyosa borders other coastal and inland communities of the Marina Baixa. Their pages explain how the same building work changes with the setting.
