Why do many owner-occupiers choose Villajoyosa?
The town combines a Mediterranean feel of life, a historic old town, well-kept beaches and good infrastructure with a pleasant size and authentic character.
Can modernisation costs be financed together with the purchase?
As a rule the Spanish bank does not co-finance modernisation — it belongs in the overall plan: equity or raising capital against German property.

A colourful coastal town with authentic character
Villajoyosa is one of the most charming coastal towns on the Costa Blanca. The historic old town with its colourful houses, the location right on the Mediterranean and the pleasant year-round climate make the town interesting for many German-speaking buyers who choose Spain not just as a holiday destination but as a new home.
This practical case shows how acquiring a modernised townhouse can be implemented with durable financing.
Town house in Villajoyosa with room for permanent remote work
A self-employed software developer from Switzerland and his partner were looking for a place that combines authentic Spanish life with good digital infrastructure. As the buyer works permanently remotely, alongside living quality a quiet location and enough room for a separate office were central.
After several viewings they chose a townhouse near the historic old town of Villajoyosa. The building was well-kept but was to be adapted to their own living needs in some areas.

Holding back part of the Swiss flat-sale money
The buyers had liquid funds from the sale of an apartment in Switzerland. At the same time, part of their assets was to be preserved as a financial reserve.
In addition, there was the wish to complete all modernisation immediately after the transfer of ownership so the move could take place without a longer building phase.
Central spot; kitchen, bath, insulation and network planned
The townhouse was convincing for its central location, a solid building fabric and short distances to the beach, shops and restaurants.
The planned investments included the modernisation of the kitchen, the renewal of a bathroom, the installation of energy-efficient air-conditioning units, an improvement of the thermal insulation in the roof area and the fit-out of a generous home office with modern network cabling.
As all measures were planned in detail in advance, they could be fully included in the overall plan — covered from equity, not by the bank loan.
65 % financed, a closed plan with no later capital need
The financing was set at around 65 % of the purchase price. This kept enough equity available as a reserve, without unnecessarily burdening the financing.
Alongside the purchase, all acquisition costs and the planned modernisation measures were included in the overall plan from the start — covered from equity, not by the bank loan. This created a closed overall plan with no later additional capital requirement.
Character kept, work continued without interruption
Once the work was completed, a modern townhouse was created that preserves the original character of the property while meeting today's living requirements.
The buyers were able to move their centre of life to Villajoyosa as planned and continue their professional activity without restrictions.
Put a realistic figure on the works before buying
Existing properties in Villajoyosa often offer an attractive combination of location, charm and living quality. If necessary modernisation is realistically calculated before the purchase and fully included in the overall plan — covered from equity, not by the bank loan — reliable financial planning emerges from the start.
For buyers who want to move to Spain permanently in particular, this approach provides considerably more security.
