Two houses in Ribeiras — 190 m², 585 m² of urban land, roofs in good order A group of three traditional buildings on the Caminho de Cima, parish of Ribeiras, Lajes do Pico, Azores. Around 190 m² of built area: the main building with 80 m² over two floors facing the regional road, an adjoining single-storey volume of 30 m², and a second building to the rear with 80 m² over two floors. Land of 585 m², classified in its entirety as urban land to be consolidated. The essentials are settled. The structure of both buildings is sound and so are the roofs — the second building's in very good condition. It is the heaviest item in any renovation, and here there is no roof to replace. What remains is floors and interiors: new timber floors in both two-storey buildings and a new floor in the kitchen area. The existing bathroom is in working order. As the façades and heights stay unchanged, the works fall under a simpler consent procedure — less time, less cost, less uncertainty. Being two separate buildings on urban land, the property allows for horizontal property division: two independent units, each with its own access. Live in one and let the other, or two homes for two generations. And there is room for more. The plan allows site coverage of up to 50%, or 292 m². The three buildings occupy 110 m² — around 180 m² remain available, subject to consent. The single-storey volume also allows a floor to be added, using no land. €125,000
