Mallorcan working holding with a stone barn, an animal store, a well head and a threshing floor

Renovation in Llubí

Llubí is working land, with village houses along the street and holdings outside it where the house is often the smallest thing on the property: stores, animal buildings, walls, a well and a threshing floor are all part of it. The common projects are finca renovations across the whole holding, outbuildings converted into guest rooms, workshops or summer kitchens, dry-stone walls and terraces repaired, wells and cisterns reconnected, and the house itself brought up to date.

Describe the house and everything around it, and we pass the request to renovation companies that work on whole holdings.

Renovating a holding in Llubí

Buy a holding out here and you buy a collection of buildings, most of which were built for a job that no longer happens. They are usually simple, usually stone, often in better structural condition than the house, and almost always ignored in the first round of planning because the house is where somebody intends to live.

That is a missed opportunity more often than it is a saving. An old store or animal building has straightforward structure, no layout worth preserving and no sentimental attachment, which makes it much easier to convert into something useful than the house is to reorganise. Guest accommodation, a workshop, an office or a summer kitchen all sit better in an outbuilding than carved out of a farmhouse plan.

The other half of the holding is what is not a building at all. Dry-stone walls, terraces, a well or cistern, the gate, the track and the boundary are all structures that need maintaining, and they deteriorate whether or not anybody is looking at them.

Common renovation issues in Llubí holdings

What else is on the property besides the house:

Stores and barns

Often structurally simpler than the house, and the better candidates for conversion because nothing needs preserving.

Dry-stone walls and terraces

Holding the land in place, deteriorating slowly, and far cheaper repointed than rebuilt after a collapse.

A well, a cistern, or both

And the pipework between them, which decides the water supply for the whole holding.

The threshing floor and yard

An outdoor room waiting to be one, on land with nothing standing between it and the sun.

Old supply and drainage

Power run to buildings that no longer need it, and drainage that is a site question rather than a house one.

How much does renovation cost in Llubí?

A renovation that budgets only for the house has budgeted for a fraction of the property. The outbuildings, the walls, the water and the track each carry a cost, and the useful budget covers the holding.

Converting an outbuilding is frequently cheaper than reorganising the house, because there is no existing layout to work around and the structure tends to be simple. What it needs is services brought to it, which is a known cost.

Ask several companies to price the same written scope for the whole holding, planned as one scheme even if it is built in stages, and compare.

Is a farm holding in Llubí worth renovating as a whole?

Yes, and as a whole is the point. The house alone is a small part of it; the stores, walls and water are what make the holding worth having, and they are usually in better structural shape than the house and cheaper to bring into use.

Is an outbuilding in Llubí cheaper to convert than the house?

Frequently, because there is no existing layout to work around and the structure tends to be simple. What it needs instead is services brought to it, which is a known cost rather than an unknown one.

Do the old dry-stone walls and terraces need attention?

They deteriorate slowly and continuously, and rebuilding a collapsed section costs far more than repointing one that is still standing. Have them looked at with the buildings rather than separately.

Should everything on a Llubí holding be done at once?

Rarely necessary and usually worth planning as one scheme even if it is built in stages. Deciding what each building will eventually become stops the first phase making the second one awkward.

How long does a whole-holding renovation in Llubí take?

Built in stages, across more than one season is normal: the house first or an outbuilding first, with the water and the walls alongside. The plan for the whole should exist before the first stage starts.
