Advantages of refurbishing versus buying a new one in Barcelona

In a city like Barcelona, where the prices of new homes have skyrocketed, buying one is often a complicated task given the state of the real estate market. If you find yourself in this situation, it is a good idea to consider renovating your home. More and more people are looking at it as a more attractive and practical option. Their motivation is twofold: the purchase is cheaper and, above all, they finally get to live in the house of their dreams, exactly the way they wanted it.

Retaining elements and the freedom to renovate

Reforming your home in Barcelona offers you a series of important advantages, both practical and aesthetic. Consider the reasons we tell you and you will be convinced that it can be a better alternative than buying a new one.

Firstly, transforming an existing home contributes to the conservation of historical and monumental heritage. And, at the same time, it offers the possibility of updating it to meet today’s needs without losing any of its essence.

This conservation includes large structures and other significant original architectural and decorative elements, such as cornices, rose windows, skirtings or mouldings on walls and ceilings; structural or decorative columns; hydraulic floors and old parquet or tiles; wood panelling; door or window frames; latticework; stained glass; exposed beams, handrails and railings, or elements such as taps and fittings. Maintaining them adds aesthetic value to the property and is clearly an added value to any flat or house.

On the other hand, we have to think about today’s lifestyle. It is fast-paced, demanding and changing, so it requires adaptability. This is the reason why we give priority to personalisation when applying solutions, both structural and decorative. Each person or each family needs specific ones, their own, that are totally adapted to what they need. The idea is always that they have a comfortable and practical life in a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing environment.

From the redistribution of spaces to the meticulous attention to form, materials and colours, refurbishing a home with Enrica Mosciaro provides the opportunity and the freedom to tailor the renovation to the needs of its inhabitants. Achieving this level of customisation is often difficult for new properties, which often follow standard designs that are more difficult to change.

You should also bear in mind that the purchase of a new property can involve a significant financial investment. Conversely, refurbishing an existing property may offer a more affordable alternative in terms of upfront costs. And, although renovation may require an investment, it can be more manageable and adaptable, both in terms of the amount and the time invested.

Why is it advisable to renovate rather than buy a new home?

Choosing to renovate your home in Barcelona offers economic advantages and the possibility of creating your dream home. It contributes to the conservation of historical and monumental elements, allowing you to update it without losing its essence. In addition, it gives you the freedom to change what you want and at the pace you want.
