Maybe you have just bought a property in Europe and are looking to undertake renovations while you live on-site . . .
Why renovate abroad?
Many people from the UK have already renovated a house in Europe because of the better weather and the more "laid back" lifestyle.
There are many european properties ripe for renovation at prices far lower than in the UK.
Travelling to Europe has become a lot easier because of the Channel Tunnel, the ferries and now there are a lot of economy flights.
Alternatively you may want to self build in Europe
Finding building plots in the UK has become very difficult and extremely expensive. An alterative could be to purchase land in Europe and to build your dream house there.
Advantages of having your own home built in Europe include considerable savings which often translate to large profits and the chance to get exactly what you want.
- Owning a static caravan can be far less expensive than renting a property and can be sold on when the project is finished.
- A static caravan avoids problems associated with the threat of homelessness due to the rental contract on a house ending while the build programme over-runs, which it normally does!
- Living on site proves a motivational force for the builders as progress is constantly monitored; it also ensures a presence for those instant decisions that are so often required.
- The security of your construction material is greatly enhanced by the fact that you are living on site.
