Possibilities of an old house as a tourist business
Boost the economy of the area, make real estate investments profitable or simply start a new business project.
There are many reasons to rehabilitate an old house so that it regains its value and usefulness.
Whether it is specific work or a comprehensive reform is necessary, we must not lose sight of the legal aspects when undertaking this type of work.
Traditional architecture as added value
Town houses can be a great source of income if they are equipped properly.
Depending on its age, the characteristics of the architecture and the location, this type of property may have to meet some aesthetic and structural requirements during its renovation.
In any case, preserving the essence of these properties and their integration with the environment is part of their charm.
Both from a historical and heritage point of view and from a business perspective, it is important to maintain the distinctive features of these properties.
Any intervention on the property will require obtaining the required municipal work permits, and even a visa from the College of Architects if it involves large-scale work.
To convert the home into rural accommodation, it will also be necessary to request a change of classification issued by the corresponding Tourism Department and an opening license processed by the City Council.
An example of a rehabilitation project in a historic house in the Pyrenees
This traditional house for sale in the town of Aínsa has all the necessary licenses for its implementation as rural accommodation. A prestigious local architectural firm has been in charge of the basic project for its conversion into several apartments and its exploitation as a tourist business.
The property is located in one of the most picturesque towns in the Aragonese Pyrenees, 40 km from the border with France.
It is divided into three floors, a basement, a garden and several porches, with wooden decks on the third floor and a cellar in the basement.
The structural conditions of the building are good. Not in vain, the house has been inhabited until recently. The renovation project already carried out has involved a redistribution of the rooms for the construction of 5 apartments.
With some improvements it is possible to get more out of the property and its great location in the Plaza Mayor area.
