Builders in Punta Prima
Punta Prima sits at the northern edge of Orihuela Costa, almost touching Torrevieja already, with a wide, fine-sand beach and a strong pull towards holiday rentals. Here the work isn't planned just in square metres and finishes: it's planned around the calendar, so the property is ready before the next season starts.
The border between two municipalities
Punta Prima is a historic urbanisation on the Orihuela coastline, recorded as such in Orihuela's General Plan, with a wide, fine-sand beach that sets it apart from the rockier coves in the area. It sits at the northern edge of Orihuela Costa, already bordering Torrevieja, which makes it the point of greatest overlap between the two municipalities along this whole stretch of coast: part of its everyday life — shops, services, transport — is shared between the two.
Who lives in Punta Prima
There's a high proportion of non-resident owners, with a strong weight of second homes and holiday rentals. That means the property has to perform in two ways: being comfortable for the owner when they use it, and being fit to be occupied on a seasonal basis without maintenance surprises halfway through a booking.
What we see most often in Punta Prima's properties
In Punta Prima's blocks, flat roofs with accumulated leaks are common, especially once the original waterproofing has outlived its service life. Terraces and solariums without proper waterproofing are another classic issue in the area, as is carpentry attacked by the salt air typical of the seafront. In communities, shared installations — drainpipes, general electrical panels, irrigation systems — also build up years of intensive use due to the high turnover of seasonal tenants. None of this is urgent until it is: the real challenge in Punta Prima isn't so much the type of defect, which is common along much of the coast, but fitting the work into a calendar that doesn't clash with the rental season.
Building permits in Punta Prima
Punta Prima belongs to Orihuela, so the paperwork is handled at the municipal office for the coast, on the N-332, in Playa Flamenca, not in Orihuela town. For renovation work that doesn't touch structure or façade — kitchen, bathroom, installations, roof waterproofing without adding volume — a declaración responsable (a simplified notification-based permit) is enough. If the work affects the structure, roof or built volume, a licencia urbanística (a full building permit requiring a technical project) is needed, and we manage this with enough lead time so it doesn't put the handover date before the season at risk.

FAQ
Common questions in Punta Prima
Can you renovate between October and March so I don't lose the season?
Yes, it's the standard approach in Punta Prima: we complete the work outside peak season, with a signed handover date, so the property is ready before the next rental campaign.
What maintenance does a seafront terrace need?
Periodic inspection of the waterproofing, especially if it wasn't done originally, and treatment of the carpentry exposed to salt air; it's the part that degrades fastest on terraces and solariums in this area.
How does salt air affect carpentry?
It speeds up corrosion in metal and the deterioration of seals and joints; in aluminium carpentry without proper treatment, it shows up in the finish and the closing mechanism before it does in the window's own structure.
Who manages the permit if the property is part of a community?
We coordinate this directly with the property management company and, if the work affects communal elements, with the owners' association, so the paperwork doesn't depend on you being present.
