Building on the Costa Blanca
Buying a building plot on the Costa Blanca is the most personal way to put down roots in Spain: you decide the layout, the style and the finish of your home, from the orientation of the terrace to the size of the pool. The Costa Blanca offers a varied landscape for that purpose. In the north, around Altea and Calpe, you will find plots on the hillsides with panoramic sea views, surrounded by pine trees and almond groves. In the south, around Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa, plots tend to be flatter and larger, with more options in the lower price range. In between lie popular coastal towns such as Benidorm and Alicante, where building land is scarcer but the location is central.
What to expect
Building plots on the Costa Blanca vary considerably in size, location and planning designation. It is essential to establish before purchase whether a plot has building permission, what the plot ratio is and whether connections for water, electricity and drainage are in place. Some plots sit within urbanisations with existing infrastructure, while others are in more rural areas where more preparatory work is needed. Those who would prefer a ready-to-move-in property can also browse the villas on the Costa Blanca as an alternative.

We handle your NIE application, explain the local taxes (IBI, IRNR) clearly and carry out legal and urban planning checks on every plot before you sign. That way, you can be certain your building plot on the Costa Blanca meets all legal requirements and is ready to build on.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know whether a plot has building permission on the Costa Blanca?
Building permission is recorded in the municipal urban development plan (PGOU). Palmhouses checks this for you and explains the applicable plot ratio and maximum building height for every plot you are considering.
Do I need a NIE number to buy a building plot?
Yes. The NIE is your Spanish tax identification number and is required for every property purchase, including land. Palmhouses takes care of the application on your behalf.
Can I choose my own architect for the building project?
Yes, in Spain you are free to choose your own architect, but they must be registered with the Spanish architects' association. Palmhouses can put you in touch with reliable local partners who have experience working with Dutch-speaking clients.
