What influences the price of new property in the province of La Rioja?

When buying a home, it is necessary to take into account certain factors that could significantly influence the price. As in most Spanish cities, the type of housing or services located near the home can modify the value of the property.

Due to the especially cold temperatures in this location, the choice of new development with a good thermal insulation system will always be a factor to consider. Although this condition may slightly increase the budget initially, over time, the need to condition the home with a good thermal system will substantially compensate for the slight investment made at the time of purchase. Regarding the importance of a home being protected against low temperatures, a specific plumbing system to prevent water from freezing in the property will be an added value that makes a difference.

Of course, the orientation of the home and energy efficiency should also be considered when making the final decision, as a poor choice could significantly increase the electricity bill.

If interested in acquiring a newly built property, it is advisable to buy off-plan or in the early stages of construction to keep costs down.
