There was a time when ruins were especially sought after by
anyone planning to build a new home! In the good old days you looked for a pile
of stones in the corner of as field and declared that you were going to do a
reform and you built pretty well what you looked where you liked on the plot!
The ruin was effectively a carte blanche to build what you liked. Those happy
(?) days are long gone. As the Spanish authorities set about closing all the
stable doors now all the horses have gone the rules on reforming have become
extremely tight as they set about trying to "protect" the
countryside.
The first thing to bear in mind is that there is no such
thing as outline planning permission in Spain so a seller who indicates he has
permission to develop must have a formally approved proyecto. Anything else
including "promises" by the town hall or favourable comments by the
mayor are simply worthless. You either have it or you don't!
The basic rule of thumb these days is that town halls don't
want to approve of building in the campo so what they will accept as a
reformable ruin is much more restricted. It will be expected to look like a
building and have a roof for starters! In addition you will only be able to work
within the existing footprint of the building; no fancy extensions and no
moving the building to a spot with a better view!
Our advice these days therefore is to look at the type of
property we call a "camper". Good enough to provide shelter ,
undeniably a house but in need to full reform and modernization. There should
be few problems with getting permission in cases like this and I have included
a few examples in the property update.
For those of you asking why buy a ruin or a camper the answer is simple. It is an opportunity to
create your own special home with your personal stamp well and truly on it! It
is a chance to put in the amenities you want and use the finishes you like and
ultimately if you do it right it is a sound investment.
If you are looking to create something personal get in
touch. We always enjoy talking projects!

An interesting dialogue is price comment. I feel that it is best to write more on this matter, it may not be a taboo topic however usually individuals are not enough to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers.
