How long before certain styles come back into fashion? In 30 or 40 years will we be drooling over 1970s brutalist apartment buildings? Listings such as this will highlight the raw concrete exterior and grey appearance and original fluorescent strip lighting will add thousands to the value of a property.

But thankfully we aren't there yet, and instead we are getting excited about features from the 1930s and 40s. For example this property in the Arrancapins area of Valencia. Original tiles and carpentry, high molded ceilings and a bathroom that may have come from a New York subway.

You are going to have to do some work here, of course, but better to do it yourself and retain these features than have to put up with a more modern but frankly awful renovation from the last 20 years. Its not as big a job as you might think, we can help gave you estimates on costs. There is AC and central heating and there is plumbing for a second bathroom already installed.

Get in touch now, we have in house project managers and interior designers to advise you before and after purchase. However if you do think that an industrial style naked concrete column in the middle of the living room is the height of fashion, this place is definitely not for you, sorry.
