After purchasing a home, people want to renovate to their taste. Most often, the buyer asks the realtor how to find good contractors so that they can make high-quality repairs.
In Spain, there is an agreement between construction teams and realtors:
- a realtor advises a client on a certain construction team;
- receives a commission of 10% of the cost of the repair if the client has made his choice in favor of the proposed team.
So, a naive buyer can overpay tens of thousands for repairs. Moreover, not a single builder from the team will hint to the customer that they can work without intermediaries.

Lawyers of Alicante Real Estate will help you find contractors with an impeccable reputation at a nice price and help you control the entire renovation process. Most often, those lawyers who speak the client’s native language and speak Spanish are chosen as assistants.
Sometimes investors themselves involve an architect for repairs. It is important to find a competent and knowledgeable master. But you need to be prepared for the fact that the opinion of the customer will not always be taken into account during the repair. For an architect, an apartment (villa or chalet) – this is a canvas, he will create at his own discretion, and it will not matter to him at all whether, for example, the customer likes the blue color in the interior or not. Of course, there are exceptions, but most of them work this way.
There is another option – find a contractor company and entrust the repair to it. There are a lot of construction teams in Spain, including Russian speakers. There are two groups among them: large companies and small teams. The former can manage several projects at the same time, as three or four teams work at once. The second ones make the work slower, but they are more customer-oriented. The more information the customer provides about his preferences in finishing, the less often it will be possible to control the teams.
If the investor cannot choose contractors on his own, it is better to contact Alicante Real Estate specialists for help.
