This type of consultancy involves a thorough analysis of the markets, current regulations, and architectural trends that may affect the value and profitability of an investment. From selecting the appropriate location to assessing the potential for property appreciation, architects play a key role in maximising investment returns. Through detailed studies and personalised advice, investors receive a clear insight into the opportunities and risks associated with their projects.
Sustainability consultancy is particularly relevant for investors looking to not only maximise their profits but also meet the growing sustainability expectations in the market. Architects advise investors on how to incorporate sustainable practices and technologies into their projects, which not only improves energy efficiency and reduces long-term operating costs but also increases the project’s appeal to future buyers or tenants. Investing in sustainability is not just an environmental responsibility but also a strategy to enhance the asset’s value over time, making properties more competitive in the market.
Feasibility studies are another crucial component of consultancy for investors. Before embarking on a project, it is essential for investors to fully understand the technical, financial, and legal aspects that could impact the outcome. A feasibility study conducted by an architecture studio evaluates all these factors, providing investors with a realistic assessment of costs, timelines, and potential challenges of the project. This analysis helps investors avoid costly surprises during development and ensures that the project can be completed within the planned budget and schedule. Furthermore, a solid feasibility study can be instrumental in securing financing and attracting other interested investors.
Together, the consultancy offered by an architecture studio provides investors with a competitive advantage by offering a solid foundation for their investment decisions. Architects, with their deep technical knowledge and understanding of the market, can help investors identify the best opportunities, mitigate risks, and develop strategies that maximise return on investment. This collaboration ensures that projects are not only profitable but also sustainable and tailored to the demands of the current market, contributing to the long-term success of real estate investments.
Frequently Asked Questions about Real Estate Investments
What exactly does BTTEstudio’s real estate investment advisory service include?
We accompany the entire cycle: preliminary analysis of opportunities (location, comparables, urban regulations), technical study of architectural feasibility, economic model (CAPEX, timelines, expected profitability), project and project supervision if you decide to execute it, and, if needed, coordination with interior designers for final home staging. We provide you with the data to make informed decisions, not just intuition.
What types of properties do you analyse: plots, dwellings to refurbish, complete buildings?
We work on all three cases. For plots, we assess what can be built according to the PGOU and what real estate product maximises the operation. For dwellings or premises to refurbish, we calculate the actual cost of the refurbishment and the exit valuation. For complete buildings, we analyse change of use (residential, hotel, tertiary), horizontal division, and full renovation. We also study build-to-rent.
What return can I expect from a real estate investment in Valencia?
It depends a lot on the product and the area. As a reference, in traditional residential rental in Valencia city, gross returns are seen at 4.5-6.5%, in well-managed tourist rentals at 6-9%, and in buy-refurbish-sell (flipping) operations, gross margins of 15-25% on total cost. These figures require case-by-case analysis; what we offer is a realistic model with prudent, base, and optimistic scenarios.
Do you only work in Valencia city or also in other areas of the Valencia Community?
We primarily operate in Valencia city, the metropolitan area (Rocafort, Godella, Bétera, Paterna, Burjassot…) and the coast (El Saler, El Puig, Sagunto, Cullera). For operations in other provinces, we assess viability on a case-by-case basis and rely on local collaborators for visits, surveys, and processing when necessary.
