As the longest established real estate professionals in Sotogrande, Holmes Sotogrande has been marketing property in the area for more than 30 years. In that time we have sold close to 1500 of villas and apartments—and have even been involved in the sale of some individual properties several times over.
It goes without saying that even the most well-appointed homes will over the years eventually need modifications and refurbishments—particularly to décor—to stay on trend and up to contemporary standards. So it is with interest that we have seen the changes made to individual homes over the years.
Fortunately real estate in Sotogrande has traditionally been built to the very highest standards, going back to the very earliest days of its development as a high-end residential resort in the 1960s, so any work that needs to be done is usually of a decorative nature, although at times structural work is required if, for example, converting spaces into open-plan arran
gements or installing the most modern home technology systems.
Property to renovate in Sotogrande
When people buy an older home in the area thoughts often turn to refurbishment—whether fitting a new kitchen, updating bathrooms or indeed embarking upon a more comprehensive makeover. To cater for these demands there are several businesses in and around Sotogrande that specialise in property refurbishments. For those homeowners who either don’t have the time or possibly do not live in Sotogrande all year round, it can be difficult to oversee the process, so we would recommend the employment of a professional to manage your project.
Who that may b
e will largely depend on what work needs doing. For example, if all you need is a fresh new look without any major changes an interior designer would be a good choice. They will talk to you to form an impression of your preferences before selecting fabrics, colours and furniture to meet the desired scheme. Should a new kitchen be required it would be reasonable to see that as part of their remit too.
More major works, including knocking though walls to create open plan spaces or enlarging patio doors for floor to ceiling picture windows that are highly fashionable at the moment, probably require the services of an architect or a project management specialist.
With an accountable professional in charge of a team of tradesmen you can be secure in the knowledge that work will be completed to your specifications even if you are 1,000 kilometres away at the time, or simply don’t want the hassle of managing it yourself.
Should you like to refurbish or renovate a villa or apartment bought from us please give us a call—we have close contacts with a variety of trusted professionals in and around Sotogrande who can deal with every aspect of a home project.
