The Costa Blanca has become one of the favourite destinations for both foreigners and nationals to buy a plot of land for a second home by the Mediterranean. The good climate and the quality of life in the area means that during holidays, both in summer and at Easter, the province of Alicante has the highest number of second homes in Spain, with a total of 326,705 homes, which represents 8.9% of the national total.
However, they don’t jump into the pool right away. Before starting to build their future holiday home, they have to choose the best plot of land. For this reason, from personalHOME we have collected the best recommendations for choosing a plot to build your second home on the Costa Blanca.
The first step: the ideal location
What would it be like to wake up and the first thing you see when you look out of the window is the sea and the beach? The location of a property is a determining factor when it comes to making the decision to build.
One of the factors that most investors take into account when buying a plot of land on the Costa Blanca is its proximity to the beach and easy access to it, both by car and on foot.
All our plots are designed to enjoy the Mediterranean climate. Whether from the mountains, with direct contact with nature, or just a few metres from the beach.
Think about your needs
Another important factor when choosing a plot of land is its size and shape. Although we may think that it is better to have a plot of land with a lot of square metres, the reality is different.
It is important to think about your needs and how much space you will really need in your second home: a garden, a swimming pool for a swim after coming from the beach? Make sure that the plot you like meets all the requirements to make your wish list come true.
This is how topography affects
If you are looking to build a holiday home on the Costa Blanca, the topography of the land is a key factor to consider when choosing a suitable site.
- Slope: A plot with a steep slope can be more difficult to build on and require more levelling work, which will increase construction costs.
- Orientation: A south or south-west orientation is ideal to make the most of sunlight and sea views.
- Elevation: Higher ground can offer better views, but can also be windier and cooler than lower ground.
- Soil type: Most coastal areas on the Costa Blanca have rocky and stony soils, which can be more difficult to excavate and build on. You should also consider the permeability of the soil.
These are some of the factors that determine choosing the perfect plot to build your second home on the Costa Blanca. However, you may still have doubts. Our team will be happy to help you, one of our plots could be the one of your dreams!
