New Construction in Pilar de la Horadada: Combining Village Life, the Beach, and Modern Homes

New Construction in Pilar de la Horadada: Combining Village Life, the Beach, and Modern Homes

Are you interested in buying a new-construction home in Pilar de la Horadada? If so, you’re looking at one of the most interesting new-construction communities in the far south of the Costa Blanca.

Pilar de la Horadada stands out because the municipality combines various residential areas within a single municipal boundary. You can choose from new construction:

  • in or around the Spanish town center of Pilar de la Horadada;
  • toward the coast;
  • in Torre de la Horadada;
  • at Mil Palmeras;
  • closer to Pinar de Campoverde;
  • or in other residential development areas.

As a result, you may find apartments, bungalows, townhouses, and single-family homes all within the same municipality, while the living experience varies greatly from one location to another.

Where is Pilar de la Horadada located?

Pilar de la Horadada is located in the far south of the province of Alicante, right on the border with the Region of Murcia.

The municipality stretches from the interior to the Mediterranean Sea and includes several residential areas and coastal regions.

That's a key difference from places like San Miguel de Salinas or Los Montesinos: Pilar de la Horadada has its own coastline.

The official tourism organization explicitly promotes the municipality as a combination of the sea, nature, sports, golf, hiking, and various beaches and coves.

Pilar de la Horadada is not the same as Torre de la Horadada

These terms are often used interchangeably in the real estate industry.

Pilar de la Horadada is both the municipality and the name of the larger inland town.

Torre de la Horadada is a coastal town within that municipality.

In addition, the municipality includes coastal areas such as Mil Palmeras, among others.

That distinction is important for people looking for a place to live.

A new home in the “Pilar de la Horadada” development can therefore:

  • are located in the village;
  • are located toward the coast;
  • are located in Torre de la Horadada;
  • or are part of another residential development within the municipality.

Always check the exact location.

Why is Pilar de la Horadada an attractive location for new construction?

The municipality offers a combination that isn't found everywhere along the Southern Costa Blanca:

An existing Spanish town + new residential areas + direct access to the coast within the same municipality.

This makes it possible to choose between:

  • more about local Spanish daily life;
  • new residential construction;
  • beach-oriented living;
  • or a combination of these.

For buyers of new-construction homes, this is more important than simply looking at “distance to the sea.”

New construction in the center of Pilar de la Horadada

New construction in or around the center of Pilar may be of interest to you if:

  • wish to live there permanently;
  • want stores nearby;
  • want restaurants and cafes;
  • considers schools and sports facilities to be important;
  • and don't want to drive to the store for every little thing.

Here, you'll feel much more like you're living in a real Spanish town than in a standalone vacation community.

Downtown or the coast?

This is probably the most important first choice.

New Construction in Downtown Pilar

This is more appropriate if you're looking for:

  • Daily life throughout the year;
  • stores;
  • hospitality industry;
  • local amenities;
  • Spanish setting;
  • and the beach is within driving distance.

New Construction in Torre de la Horadada

This is more appropriate if you're looking for:

  • the sea is nearby;
  • beach;
  • seaside restaurants;
  • second home;
  • and a distinctly Mediterranean living environment.

The house may have the same number of bedrooms, but the lifestyle is completely different.

New Construction in Torre de la Horadada

Torre de la Horadada is one of the best-known coastal areas in the municipality.

Depending on current availability, you'll find, for example:

  • apartments;
  • bungalows;
  • penthouses;
  • townhouses;
  • and villas.

For buyers looking to combine a new-build home with beachfront living, this is a natural area to consider.

What makes Torre de la Horadada different?

Torre de la Horadada has a coastline featuring:

  • the beach;
  • bays;
  • promenade areas;
  • hospitality industry;
  • residential development;
  • and seasonal tourism.

This means your living situation is clearly different from what it would be a few kilometers inland in the center of Pilar.

New construction within walking distance of the beach

This is a popular search query.

But “walking distance to the beach” is a broad marketing term.

Therefore, always check:

  • distance in meters;
  • actual hiking route;
  • busy roads;
  • elevation differences;
  • Which beach is being referred to?;
  • and whether the stores are in the same direction.

A project located 700 meters from the sea as the crow flies may, in practice, have a less pleasant walking route.

A Thousand Palm Trees

Mil Palmeras is also located within the municipality of Pilar de la Horadada.

The area has a very different character from downtown Pilar and is much more focused on the coast and recreation.

The official tourism office describes Playa Mil Palmeras as a beach with various amenities, including recreational activities for children, small recreational boat rentals, and proximity to the commercial district. The tourism office also notes that this beach is set to receive a Blue Flag by 2026.

For someone looking for a home, the fact that Mil Palmeras has a genuine coastal feel is particularly important.

New Construction in Mil Palmeras

Depending on current listings, you may find modern homes here or in the immediate vicinity, such as:

  • apartments;
  • bungalows;
  • penthouses;
  • and residential complexes.

This might be appealing if the beach and that vacation vibe are a higher priority than living in the center of a Spanish village.

Pilar, the center of Mil Palmeras?

Pilar Downtown

Best suited for:

  • permanent residence;
  • local amenities;
  • Spanish setting;
  • daily groceries;
  • and live there year-round.

A Thousand Palm Trees

Best suited for:

  • beach;
  • second home;
  • that vacation feeling;
  • where;
  • and outdoor life by the sea.

That doesn't mean you can't live in Mil Palmeras permanently. It just means the type of residents is different.

Campoverde Pine Forest

On the other side of the municipality lies Pinar de Campoverde.

This is a green residential area inland, surrounded by pine trees and close to the nature reserve around Río Seco.

The housing market here has traditionally been more focused on:

  • villas;
  • detached homes;
  • lots;
  • and low-rise buildings.

New construction may occur depending on the market, but this is not a typical coastal area for apartment buildings.

New-construction apartment in Pilar de la Horadada

Apartments are appealing to buyers who:

  • want low maintenance;
  • want a single-story home;
  • consider the patio important;
  • find a parking spot;
  • and enjoy using shared facilities.

Depending on the project, new construction complexes may feature:

  • swimming pool;
  • lift;
  • gardens;
  • garage;
  • salvage;
  • and recreation area.

But never assume that this is the norm.

Ground-floor apartment with a garden

A popular type of new construction is a ground-floor apartment with its own outdoor space.

This may be of interest to:

  • families;
  • people who have a dog;
  • retirees;
  • and anyone who likes to step right outside from the living room.

Be sure to check whether the outdoor space is legally:

  • private property;
  • joint ownership with exclusive use;
  • or registered otherwise

is.

Top-floor apartment with a sunroom

The counterpart is an upstairs apartment with a private sunroom.

These homes often offer:

  • more privacy;
  • large rooftop terrace;
  • view;
  • and plenty of outdoor space.

That usually involves more steps.

Buy a Bungalow in Pilar de la Horadada

Bungalows are a major type of new-construction home in this region.

As is often the case in Spain, the term “bungalow” usually refers to:

  • ground-floor apartment with a garden;
  • or an upstairs apartment with a sunroom.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a single-story detached house like those in the Netherlands.

Up or down?

Select the option below if you:

  • want to avoid stairs;
  • want your own garden;
  • has pets;
  • want to be able to sit outside right away.

Select the option above if you:

  • want a large solarium;
  • prefers more privacy;
  • want a more unobstructed view;
  • and doesn't mind climbing stairs.

New Townhouse Construction

Newly built townhouses may be appealing to buyers who want more space than an apartment offers but don't need a large villa.

Possible characteristics include:

  • three bedrooms;
  • multiple bathrooms;
  • private patio;
  • parking space;
  • multiple floors;
  • solarium;
  • and a private or communal pool.

Please note the layout

In a townhouse, an attractive living space can be spread out over several floors.

Therefore, please check the following:

  • where the bedrooms are located;
  • whether there is a bathroom downstairs;
  • how many stairs you climb each day;
  • where the patio is located;
  • and how to get to the tanning salon.

That can be important when making future-oriented purchases.

Newly Built Villa in Pilar de la Horadada

Detached new-construction villas are also common within the municipality and surrounding residential areas.

For example, a modern villa might consist of:

  • three bedrooms;
  • two or more bathrooms;
  • open kitchen;
  • own lot;
  • parking space;
  • private pool;
  • patio;
  • and, if desired, a tanning bed.

But always check what is actually included in the price.

Private Pool

A swimming pool is possible with a newly built villa:

  • are included as standard;
  • are offered at an additional cost;
  • are optional;
  • or vary by housing model.

So be sure to ask for:

  • dimensions;
  • finish;
  • stairs;
  • lighting;
  • pump;
  • outdoor shower;
  • and a terrace all around.

Apartment or villa?

That's mainly a matter of maintenance and privacy.

Apartment or bungalow

Can offer:

  • less maintenance;
  • shared swimming pool;
  • community management;
  • a smaller patio or garden;
  • and make it easier to lock up when you're away.

Villa

Can offer:

  • own lot;
  • private pool;
  • more privacy;
  • more outdoor space;
  • and no neighbors above or below.

However, maintenance is entirely your responsibility.

What is included in new construction?

For every project, you must review the memoria de calidades.

This document is more important than the sales brochure.

Don't automatically assume that:

  • kitchen appliances;
  • full air conditioning;
  • solar panels;
  • swimming pool;
  • furniture;
  • lighting;
  • garden;
  • parking space;
  • salvage;
  • pergola;
  • shower in the tanning salon;
  • or outdoor kitchen.

Kitchen Appliances

Check for each device to see if it is included.

Consider:

  • refrigerator;
  • freezer;
  • oven;
  • stove top;
  • range hood;
  • dishwasher;
  • microwave;
  • and a washing machine.

A “fully fitted kitchen” can mean slightly different things in different projects.

Air Conditioning

There are also several variations here:

  • fully installed ducted air conditioning;
  • machines included;
  • pre-installation only;
  • individual units;
  • or preparation.

That difference could amount to thousands of euros after completion.

Energy Performance

Modern homes must meet current building and energy standards.

However, two new construction projects can still differ in:

  • insulation;
  • glazing;
  • hot water system;
  • solar panels;
  • HVAC system;
  • and energy consumption.

Therefore, compare the technical specifications and the energy certificate.

Solar Panels

Whenever solar panels are mentioned, check:

  • individual or collective;
  • number of panels;
  • assets;
  • what they are used for;
  • and whether they are actually included in the selling price.

“Prepared for solar panels” is not the same as “solar panels included.”

Parking Lot

A parking space can:

  • are included;
  • be priced separately;
  • must be purchased along with it;
  • or are specific to certain homes.

For a coastal home, having a private parking space can be especially important during busier times.

Underground garage

If you're parking in an underground garage:

  • access;
  • dimensions;
  • slope;
  • elevator connection;
  • charging options;
  • and property registration.

Not every modern car fits just as easily into every Spanish parking space.

Salvage

A storage room is especially useful at a second home.

For example, you can store the following there:

  • cycling;
  • suitcases;
  • golf gear;
  • beach chairs;
  • beach umbrellas;
  • and tools.

Ask whether the storage room is included or must be purchased separately.

Communal swimming pool

Many bungalow and apartment complexes have a communal pool.

Check:

  • number of homes;
  • pool size;
  • children's pool;
  • garden;
  • nesting sites;
  • Hours of operation;
  • and estimated community fees.

More amenities usually mean higher community fees

For example, a complex might offer:

  • various swimming pools;
  • fell;
  • fitness;
  • sauna
  • children's playground;
  • coworking;
  • large gardens;
  • and security.

That may sound appealing, but you'll all share the cost of management.

So don't just compare the purchase price.

New construction with a padel court or fitness center

Ask yourself if you actually use those facilities.

They can be a great choice for a vacation project.

For permanent residents, a smaller complex with lower fixed costs may ultimately be more appealing.

Buying Off-Plan

Many new homes are sold before they are completed.

You will then make your purchase based on:

  • floor plan;
  • renders;
  • site plan;
  • specifications;
  • contract;
  • and planning.

So you can't yet fully experience the finished home.

Renders are not an inventory list

A sales report can show:

  • furniture;
  • curtains;
  • lamps;
  • art;
  • outdoor kitchen;
  • jacuzzi;
  • pergola;
  • garden plants;
  • and a swimming pool.

That doesn't mean that all of these items will be delivered.

Always use the contract documentation for this purpose.

Payment Schedule

For off-plan new construction, payments are typically made in installments.

For example, a project might use:

  • reservation amount;
  • payment upon signing the purchase agreement;
  • deadlines during construction;
  • and the remaining amount at the notary's office.

The exact structure varies by developer.

Advance Payments

Have it reviewed by an independent legal professional:

  • who the seller is;
  • which account you are paying from;
  • what protection applies;
  • What warranty is provided;
  • and how this aligns with the contract.

Do not make large payments based solely on instructions from a sales office.

Scheduled completion

A construction project has a scheduled completion date.

That is important, but it should not be regarded as an absolute guarantee.

Delays can be caused by, among other things:

  • construction process;
  • permits;
  • utility services;
  • material;
  • and administrative processing.

Are you buying a home to emigrate?

In that case, this is especially important.

If your move involves a new construction home, be sure to consider an alternative for when the home is completed.

For example:

  • temporary lease;
  • storage;
  • school schedule;
  • and moving day.

Be sure to also read our information about moving to Spain.

Turnkey new construction

Some new homes are already finished or nearly finished.

That has major advantages.

You can actually evaluate:

  • light entering the room;
  • view;
  • privacy;
  • size of the patio;
  • location within the project;
  • swimming pool;
  • neighbors;
  • and street.

"Key-ready" does not mean furnished

A newly built home does not have to be sold furnished.

Check individually to see if the following are included:

  • furniture;
  • lamps;
  • curtains;
  • beds;
  • garden furniture;
  • and decoration.

Final Inspection

Upon move-in, it's a good idea to inspect the home thoroughly.

Consider:

  • the frame;
  • doors;
  • floors;
  • tiles;
  • join;
  • bodywork
  • plumbing;
  • kitchen;
  • electric;
  • air conditioning;
  • hot water;
  • and a patio.

At a villa

Also, check the following:

  • swimming pool;
  • pump;
  • outdoor lighting;
  • the garden wall;
  • gate;
  • outdoor faucets;
  • drainage;
  • and site finishing.

Snagging

Minor issues found during the final inspection are often referred to as snagging.

Examples include:

  • damaged tile;
  • scratch on the window;
  • door that doesn't close properly;
  • faulty outlet;
  • leaking faucet;
  • poorly finished paintwork;
  • or a defective joint.

It is best to clearly document these before or around the time of delivery.

New construction or existing homes in Pilar?

A new home isn't necessarily the best choice.

Existing homes can also be an attractive option.

New Construction

Can offer benefits such as:

  • modern layout;
  • more recent installations;
  • energy performance;
  • large terraces;
  • less immediate renovation work.

Existing Buildings

Can offer benefits such as:

  • better location;
  • larger lot;
  • established neighborhood;
  • mature garden;
  • immediate availability;
  • and sometimes more living space.

New construction isn't automatically closer to the beach

Suitable building land in existing coastal communities is scarce.

As a result, an older home can be located much closer to the city center than a new one.

Therefore, always compare:

  • actual distance to the beach;
  • supermarket;
  • center;
  • restaurants;
  • and a parking lot.

New construction for permanent residence

Would you like to live in Pilar de la Horadada permanently?

In that case, the municipality offers the advantage that there is an actual town located behind the coastal strip.

For everyday living, I would focus primarily on:

  • supermarket;
  • school;
  • health care;
  • sport;
  • parking;
  • internet;
  • public transportation;
  • and work.

A swimming pool is nice, but day-to-day logistics ultimately matter much more.

New Construction for Families

Modern homes may be appealing to families because:

  • multiple bedrooms;
  • swimming pool;
  • patio;
  • parking space;
  • modern facilities;
  • and very little immediate renovation work.

But please also note:

  • route to school;
  • roads;
  • leeway;
  • pool safety;
  • sport;
  • and daily activities.

New Construction for Retirees

For people who plan to stay permanently in the future, I would pay special attention to:

  • one story;
  • lift;
  • thresholds;
  • shower;
  • walking distance;
  • supermarket;
  • health care;
  • and parking lot.

A large sunroom isn't as important if you have to climb two flights of stairs every day to get there and that becomes difficult later on.

For more information about permanent residency, see Retirement in Spain.

Second home in Pilar de la Horadada

Pilar can also be an attractive option as a second home because you can choose between:

  • village;
  • where;
  • apartment;
  • bungalow;
  • townhouse;
  • a house.

An apartment or bungalow with a community association can be practical if you're away for several months.

The City Center as a Second Home?

That can actually be surprisingly practical.

You have:

  • stores;
  • hospitality industry;
  • local life;
  • year-round facilities;
  • and you can drive to various beaches.

That way, you'll be less dependent on a single coastal area.

A beach house as a second home?

When every vacation is all about:

  • beach;
  • swimming;
  • walking along the beach;
  • and a patio,

Torre de la Horadada or Mil Palmeras might make more sense.

You may end up paying more for a location on the coast than for one a few kilometers inland.

Permanent residence or a vacation vibe?

This is an important consideration.

A project featuring:

  • large swimming pool;
  • resort-style;
  • various facilities;
  • and few stores just outside the complex

can be great for vacations.

For permanent residence, a simpler project closer to the city center might be more practical.

New Construction as an Investment

Are you interested in investing in Spanish real estate?

Evaluate each project individually.

Check out:

  • purchase price;
  • location;
  • target audience;
  • bedrooms;
  • patio;
  • parking space;
  • community;
  • maintenance;
  • rental options;
  • and future marketability.

A new construction project or proximity to the beach does not guarantee a return on investment.

For more information, see Investing in Spain.

Vacation Rentals

Would you like to rent out the property to tourists?

Check this before purchasing.

Whether tourist rentals are permitted may depend, among other things, on:

  • regional regulations;
  • municipality;
  • urban planning status;
  • community;
  • registration;
  • and the specific type of housing.

So a new apartment located just a few hundred meters from the beach isn't automatically suitable for tourist rentals.

Homeowners' Association

In the case of apartment buildings and bungalow complexes, the homeowners' association must also be taken into account.

For example, check:

  • articles of incorporation;
  • community contribution;
  • rules;
  • rental;
  • pets;
  • use of the pool;
  • and future costs.

Long-Term Rentals

When it comes to long-term tenants, other factors come into play.

Consider:

  • school;
  • work;
  • internet;
  • stores;
  • parking space;
  • bedrooms;
  • and year-round amenities.

That is why a new construction in the center of Pilar may have a very different rental profile than a home in a coastal development.

Pilar de la Horadada or San Miguel de Salinas?

These municipalities are relatively close to one another but offer different housing options.

Pilar de la Horadada

Offers:

  • its own coastline;
  • center;
  • La Horadada Tower;
  • A Thousand Palm Trees;
  • many different types of new construction.

San Miguel de Salinas

Offers:

  • domestic;
  • higher elevation;
  • view;
  • residential projects;
  • and no private beach.

If you value having a beach within the same municipality, Pilar offers more options.

Pilar de la Horadada or Orihuela Costa?

Orihuela Costa consists of several coastal developments, such as:

  • La Zenia;
  • Flamenco Beach
  • Cabo Roig;
  • Campoamor;
  • and the Mil Palmeras area.

Pilar actually has a more distinct village center of its own, in addition to the coastal towns.

For permanent residence, that difference can be significant.

See also Buying a Home in Orihuela Costa.

Pilar de la Horadada or Torrevieja?

Torrevieja is considerably larger and more urban.

Torrevieja has more to offer:

  • large stores;
  • hospital;
  • urban beaches;
  • boulevard;
  • apartments;
  • and international facilities.

Pilar feels:

  • smaller;
  • more spread out between the village and the coast;
  • calmer;
  • and features a relatively large number of modern low-rise buildings.

Pilar of Guardamar?

Guardamar is a compact coastal town with:

  • dunes;
  • pain forest;
  • long beaches;
  • and the town center right by the sea.

In fact, Pilar consists of a main town in the interior and several coastal towns.

That's a completely different spatial structure.

See also Buying a House in Guardamar.

Pilar in Ciudad Quesada?

Ciudad Quesada is more focused on:

  • villas;
  • private pool;
  • international residents;
  • and golf.

Pilar offers:

  • Spanish Center;
  • coastline within the same municipality;
  • apartments;
  • bungalows;
  • townhouses;
  • and villas.

If you want to compare different types of homes, Pilar offers a wide variety.

Pilar of Los Montesinos?

Los Montesinos is located entirely inland.

Pilar offers greater variety because you can do both:

  • domestic;
  • in a village;
  • as on the coast

can live there.

Los Montesinos is a better choice for those looking for a compact inland Spanish town without the crowds of the beach.

Pilar de la Horadada or the Murcia coast?

Given its location on the border of the Región de Murcia, it may also be worthwhile to compare it with the Costa Cálida.

For example:

  • San Pedro del Pinatar;
  • Santiago de la Ribera;
  • Los Alcázares;
  • and other locations around the Mar Menor.

That way, you'll be comparing not only home prices, but also different provinces and coastal profiles.

See also Costa Cálida.

Golf in the Area

For golfers, Pilar is conveniently located near several courses in southern Alicante and northern Murcia.

This allows you to reach various golf areas from a single home, rather than living right next to a specific golf course.

That might appeal to golfers who like a change of pace.

Beach One Golf

For some buyers, it is precisely this combination that is important:

  • morning golf;
  • dinner on the beach;
  • and back to a quieter residential area in the evening.

In that case, Pilar might be more interesting than an apartment in the heart of a large coastal city.

Cycling and Hiking

The official tourism organization of Pilar de la Horadada places a strong emphasis on:

  • hiking trails;
  • cycling;
  • nature;
  • water sports;
  • snorkeling;
  • and other outdoor sports.

For permanent residents, this can be just as important as the beach.

Río Seco

The municipality is also home to the nature reserve around Río Seco, known for its hiking trails through the arid Mediterranean landscape toward the coast.

In addition to its beaches and built-up areas, this gives Pilar a distinct natural character in its inland areas as well.

Be sure to always check the latest access and route information; the official tourism website publishes temporary route alerts when necessary.

How far is a new construction project from the sea?

I wouldn't list specific durations on a general page.

A home may be located in the same municipality but be a completely different distance away.

Always check:

  • exact coordinates;
  • the beach in question;
  • highway;
  • bike route;
  • hiking trail;
  • and traffic in the summer.

Alicante-Elche of Murcia Airport?

Due to its southern location, not only Alicante-Elche Airport but also the airport in the Región de Murcia may be relevant for some travelers.

Which one is practical depends on:

  • flight connections;
  • residential location;
  • travel time;
  • and time of year.

For Dutch and Belgian buyers, it may be helpful to consider both options.

Living without a car?

That depends heavily on the zone you choose.

In downtown Pilar

It may be possible to do quite a bit on foot.

In Torre de la Horadada

If a home is in a good location, the beach, restaurants, and daily groceries may be within walking distance.

In a remote new housing development

A car can become practically indispensable.

So be sure to check not only the distance to the ocean but also the distance to the supermarket.

How much does a new home cost in Pilar de la Horadada?

Quoting a fixed price is of little value.

Prices vary widely between:

  • apartment;
  • ground-floor bungalow;
  • upper bungalow;
  • penthouse;
  • townhouse;
  • village;
  • center;
  • where;
  • private pool;
  • and various construction phases.

So be sure to check out Casas Palmeras' current homes and projects.

Please note the starting price

A project can be advertised with an attractive “starting at” price.

This can only apply to:

  • one home;
  • smallest type;
  • a specific floor;
  • specific orientation;
  • or an earlier phase of construction.

Always ask for the price of the specific property you want.

Compare total budgets

A fair comparison includes:

  • purchase price;
  • parking space;
  • salvage;
  • swimming pool;
  • options;
  • equipment;
  • air conditioning;
  • furniture;
  • community;
  • and purchase costs.

Only then can you truly compare the two projects.

Purchase Costs for New Construction

With new construction, there are additional costs on top of the purchase price.

New construction and existing buildings are treated differently for tax purposes in Spain.

In addition, costs may be a factor for:

  • notary;
  • property registry;
  • legal assistance;
  • funding;
  • and other individual items.

Have a personalized, comprehensive estimate prepared in advance for a specific home.

More information: Buying a Home in Spain.

Mortgage for a New Home

Dutch and Belgian buyers can apply for a Spanish mortgage under certain conditions.

The possibilities depend on, among other things:

  • income;
  • financial obligations;
  • age;
  • home;
  • taxation;
  • and immigration status.

Read more at Mortgages in Spain.

Mortgage and Construction Payment Schedule

With off-plan new construction, you should also keep in mind that payments made during construction do not necessarily coincide with the actual mortgage approval.

Therefore, determine in advance whether you can meet the required construction deadlines.

NIE number

To buy real estate in Spain, you need an NIE number.

An NIE is not the same as a Spanish residencia.

For more information, see NIE and residence permit.

Legal Guidance for New Construction

When purchasing a new home, your independent legal advisor can, among other things, review:

  • salesperson;
  • real estate developer;
  • ground;
  • permits;
  • contract;
  • payment schedule;
  • protection of advance payments;
  • technical documents;

First, determine which pillar you're looking for

Before you start looking at homes, it’s a good idea to make one decision first:

Would you prefer to live in a village, by the coast, or in a residential area?

This is followed by questions such as:

  • Apartment or bungalow?
  • Downstairs or upstairs?
  • wool?
  • Private pool?
  • Communal pool?
  • To the beach on foot?
  • Shops within walking distance?
  • Large terrace?
  • parking space?
  • Permanent residence?
  • Second home?
  • or investment?

Who is the new construction in Pilar de la Horadada best suited for?

Pilar de la Horadada may be of particular interest if you:

  • looking for a modern home;
  • if you want to be able to compare the village and the coast;
  • want to keep apartments, bungalows, townhouses, and villas as options;
  • considers the beach important but doesn't necessarily need to live right on the beach;
  • is considering a permanent residence or a second home;
  • and prefers a smaller town to a large coastal city.

The main advantage is the choice within a single municipality. You don't have to choose right away between a location deep in the countryside or a large coastal city.

Please fill out the questionnaire for your housing search or contact Casas Palmeras.

New construction in Pilar de la Horadada is particularly interesting because you can compare very different types of housing within a single municipality: the traditional Spanish town center of Pilar, coastal living in Torre de la Horadada or Mil Palmeras, and more residential areas inland. As a result, the exact project location is much more important than just the name of the municipality. In addition to price and floor plans, be sure to consider the actual distance to the beach, daily amenities, community fees, parking, the building specifications (memoria de calidades), the construction phase, and what is actually included in the purchase price.
