In practice
It is still possible to carry out renovations within the existing footprint of the property. The majority of villas are build with a skeleton structure, which means that it is relatively easy to remove walls and divide rooms.
Some popular renovation projects are:
- Creating open spaces (dining room / kitchen)
- Bathrooms renovations
- Fitting kitchens (modern/rustic)
- Laying/renovation of patios
- Adding wooden carports or pergolas
- Adding swimming pools above-ground
- Transforming villas into B&B’s
- Adding an outside kitchen
