Thanks for the advice. It's good to pool thoughts from others.

We have a reputable local builder on the job, so fingers crossed he can do a v. good job.

It may be the selling part of the deal that remains the tricky bit ? 

I think part of the secret here is to make sure that you are v. competitive / realisitic when selling the property on. Thanks again.

Hi everyone,

I'm only a fairly new memeber to the site but I find the website to be v. informative and helpful.

I was hoping to get some feedback from those of you who have reformed properties or have any ideas or comments regarding property reforming.

I have bought a nice townhouse in the Jaen (alcaudete) region with a view to restoring it to it's former beauty in a typical spanish style.

Can anyone comment with regards to the general standard of builders and the success they have had in getting the job done on time (and to budget!)

I get the feeling that the market in inland spain is a little more bouyant than the costas, is that the general feeling. I'm hoping that the family could turn one of these little houses over each year as a little nest egg for the future.

Appreciate any comments on the subject. Thanks in advance.
