Re: New Roof
I'm not a builder, but concrete roof beams seem to me highly suspect. Concrete has a much shorter lifespan than good solid timber. Corners can be cut using concrete.

Re: New Roof
Hi Daniel,
Don’t trust an agent , they will tell you anything to get a sale and their commission.
and as a uk tradesperson who has renovated 2 properties on the Costa del sol, I would advise against projects like this as they are fraught with issues you could never imagine.
Renovations are costly and difficult to organise, unless you pay through the nose. I wouldn’t touch anything that needed much more than a new bathroom and kitchen windows and doors etc.

As you know they are talking about vegas with the pre-shaped blocks dropped in between the gaps and a concrete screed poured over that etc etc, guess a "real cheap" job could be done with old kit for 5k but ...............

Re: New Roof
Many Spanish insurance companies will not insure any form of wood construction. Concrete beams and filled in with concrete pieces is the norm.
