How much does it cost to renovate a masia in La Garrotxa?

The costs of renovating a masia in La Garrotxa can vary greatly. La Garrotxa is also the region with the most listed farmhouses in Catalonia, with 2,377 farmhouses registered in municipal catalogues.

The cost of renovating a masia depends on factors such as:

• The current condition of the building

• Its location

• Access to utilities

• Local urban planning regulations (you can check the regulations for each village here)

It's important to bear in mind that renovating a masia is not comparable to renovating a modern house or an urban flat. Here, you're working with natural stone, wooden beams, thick walls and historic structures that require specialised techniques.

In La Garrotxa, there are also some common problems that affect the budget:

• Damp and condensation, especially in farmhouses in wooded or shady areas, with stone walls that 'breathe' and and colder ground floors.

• Old roofs exposed to frequent rain, moss and leaks and which may require re-waterproofing, insulating and parts of the structure maybe need to be redone.

• Insufficient ventilation, which aggravates odours, mould and interior deterioration, if not corrected properly from the outset.

• Treatment and reinforcement of wooden beams due to persistent damp and possible attacks by wood-eating insects (woodworm), as well as structural checks on old floors.

In addition, in many cases, regulations require the use of local materials and traditional methods to preserve the authenticity and heritage value of the property.

This usually involves solutions such as:

• Exposed stone with traditional grouting

• Lime mortars (instead of modern cements)

• Wooden carpentry and finishes in keeping with the rustic style of the area (stone, wood and natural tones)

How we assist buyers of masias

Buying a farmhouse is a process with many moving parts (and risks) that should be carefully managed from the outset.

That's why we accompany buyers of rural properties through every stage, from legal checks to negotiations and, if you need it, with the renovation and refurbishment of the property.

We can help you with:

• Legal and urban planning checks before you commit (documentation, registration status, possible limitations and uses).

• Purchase and negotiation strategy to defend your price with real arguments.

• Coordination of technical inspections (condition of the structure, roof, damp, installations, etc).

• Planning the refurbishment after purchase, with priorities, realistic estimates of phases and project control.

• Ongoing support, so you don't have to make decisions blindly in a very particular market.
