We're not perfect — we're working to make these numbers as accurate as possible. Spot an error, or have an idea? Let us know.

Build economics look fair for the villa we'd put on this lot.

~10% gross on all-in is roughly our 10% benchmark — fair value, not a discount. Pick the right footprint and finish tier below.

Edit assumptions (plug in real contractor quotes)

Feasibility scenario — not a contractor quote

  • •Construction uses our in-house team's ~$1,000/m² standard rate (shell + finishes; pool/landscaping & permits are added separately). Typical local quotes run $1,200–2,400/m². Final cost still depends on the confirmed scope.
  • •Assumes a ~14-month build with no rental income during construction; excludes land-carry, financing and price escalation.
  • •Las Baulas marine park imposes strict height/setback limits near the beach.
  • •Enter the lot size to check the build fits the parcel's coverage limit and see the largest villa it allows.
  • •Few or scattered nearby comps behind the revenue estimate — lower confidence.
  • •Water availability (ASADA letter) and utilities can make or break a build — verify before you buy the lot.

Story

Is it for you?

Patient capital building equity — design-build or JV, not move-in cashflow.

Move on if you need rental income on day one.

Good to know

  • Recipe gaps vs local winners: Gym / fitness, Hot tub, BBQ / grill.
  • Build scenarios use market-level revenue anchors — re-run at the lot pin on the report.

Check before you offer

  • Confirm registered fee-simple title (folio real), free of liens.
  • Confirm a legal water supply (AyA or ASADA letter / carta de agua) — no water letter, no deal.
  • If anything is already built on the lot, confirm permisos de construcción cover it — unpermitted work can block closing.
  • Verify buildable footprint, coverage rules, access, and ZMT status with the municipality.
  • Get real contractor quotes before trusting any yield-on-cost figure.
