Builders in Villamartín
Villamartín was founded in the 1970s as a luxury urbanisation around its golf course, and today it has around half a century of history and international recognition behind it. We work mainly on its communities — façades, ITE (Technical Building Inspection) and communal areas — as well as interior renovations in the terraced houses and bungalows of its older sub-developments.
An urbanisation built around a golf course
Villamartín is made up of Villacosta, Eagles Nest, Montegolf, Las Filipinas, El Presidente, Los Valencias, El Galán and Blue Lagoon, laid out around the central square and the golf complex that gives the urbanisation its name. It's one of the longest-established urbanisations in Orihuela Costa: it began as a luxury development in the 1970s and has held onto international recognition among the coast's English-speaking community ever since. That age, combined with the size of many of its communities, means that building management — rather than standalone single-family homes — is the type of work we see most here.
Who lives in Villamartín
Most owners are English-speaking or from northern Europe, and unlike other areas more geared towards holiday rentals, Villamartín has a high proportion of permanent residents. That changes the conversation around renovation work: it's not just about having the property ready for a season, but about maintaining large communities long-term, with shared communal areas, a shared pool and several decades of installations behind them.
What we see most often in Villamartín's properties
In the terraced houses and bungalows of Villamartín's inland sub-developments, built mostly in the 1970s and 80s, it's common to find roofs and installations that have already outlived their original service life: façades with more than thirty years without any work done, communal roofs with small accumulated leaks, and community pools carrying years of minimal maintenance. In the larger buildings, the ITE is usually the first warning that the façade needs a serious look, and from there the rest follows: repainting, joint sealing, sometimes localised structural reinforcement. This isn't an area of urgent repairs on individual homes, but of scheduled maintenance at community scale — which is exactly where we tend to come in, coordinating with the property management company to plan the work without disrupting the neighbourhood's daily life.
Building permits in Villamartín
Villamartín administratively belongs to Orihuela, but the paperwork isn't handled in Orihuela town, 35 km inland: the municipal office for the coast is on the N-332, in Playa Flamenca, and that's where permits and declarations for the whole of Orihuela Costa are managed. For work that doesn't touch structure, façade or volume — kitchen, bathroom, installations, interior painting — a declaración responsable (a simplified notification-based permit) is enough. When the work affects the façade, roof or structure, as in many community refurbishments, a licencia urbanística (a full building permit requiring a technical project) is needed. If you buy a property with old, unregularised extensions, Orihuela processes this as a Declaración Responsable de Segunda Ocupación (Second Occupation declaration). We handle it ourselves as part of the project.

We're currently working with a community in Blue Lagoon, within Villamartín — it's the project we know best in this area right now. We'll document this and other jobs in the area with our own photos as we complete them; in the meantime, you can see representative examples of our work in projects.
FAQ
Common questions in Villamartín
Do you work with property management companies?
Yes, it's common in Villamartín: we coordinate directly with the community's property management company and with the owners' association, from the quote through to handover.
What is an ITE and when does my building need one?
The Inspección Técnica del Edificio (ITE) is compulsory once a property reaches a certain age; in Villamartín, with buildings several decades old, it's often already due. We check this in the land registry before quoting.
How do you organise a façade refurbishment without blocking access?
With phased scaffolding and prior coordination with the community so we don't block entrances or garage spaces all at once; we plan this together with the property manager before starting.
Can you quote for an owners' meeting with a cost breakdown per resident?
Yes, we prepare the quote broken down by line item and the cost split per resident so the community can vote on it at the meeting with full information.
