I had been watching a property that Sophie had on her site for quite some time and at the time the price was 68,000euro. During my visit i went with Sophie to view a number of properties of interest to me. The one i have placed a photo was the one for me, i lost my heart to it and nothing would convince me that this was not right for me or for the purpose i would want the property for. It took many visits and planning before i realized this was not for me. I have a very good planning program that let me do all the things to the property i wished for But.
The big But was to build a house to suit my needs using the existing building and adding to it's footprint would have cost more than i could afford.
The Option was to demolish the existing house and build a new home. To do this would make the land 68,000euro as there was no value in a house to be demolished. So the search had to start again. I had viewed this property at least ten times before i came to realize it was not for me. Now it's on a property site that my friend owns and the property is now priced at 49,000euro. This is still out of my reach. during this trip i went down to Tomar and viewed some nice places but not for me. I did consider having a Timber Frame house built by my mate Chris who owns a Timber Frame company in the UK and Spain. The cost to level the site before preparation and then build was not really an option. Chris does come into my story later on but for now the search goes on.
Hi Peter
ReplyDeleteWe looked at this house only last week and loved it. The only trouble is that despite its external dimensions the inside is small due to the thickness of the walls. It would need a big extension and though we weren't opposed to that we also felt in the end that Coja was going to be a little too remote for us. A great place tho!
Beautiful property in a wonderful setting that's nice and quiet. You could build a timber frame house for 30,000 i'sh euro's complete. Wait for my Story about the Timber Frame house by the river.
