Set within an ARU (Urban Rehabilitation Area), the property may qualify for meaningful tax advantages linked to urban regeneration, namely reduced VAT of 6% on the building work, exemption from IMT (property transfer tax) on purchase and exemption from IMI (municipal property tax) once the refurbishment is complete, subject to confirmation and the applicable legal framework.<\/p>\n
The house currently offers 72 sqm\/ m\u00b2 of gross area and 52sqm\/ m\u00b2 of usable space on an 83 sqm\/ m\u00b2 plot. The approved project provides for a single-storey, one-bedroom home (T1) with a gross construction area of 70sqm\/ m\u00b2, comprising an open-plan living room and kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom and a circulation area, a practical and comfortable layout.<\/p>\n
One of the standout features is the terrace, an increasingly rare asset in Tavira’s<\/a> old town. This outdoor space lends itself to al fresco dining, a quiet leisure corner or a small private garden, adding real value and everyday quality of life<\/a>. With a north, south and west aspect, the home enjoys natural light throughout the day.<\/p>\n The reconstruction work is already under way, which gives the future owner welcome flexibility. You may acquire the property as it stands and still choose your own materials and finishes, or complete the work with a builder of your own choosing.<\/p>\n Location is one of this property’s greatest strengths. Set in Tavira’s historic centre, it places you within a short walk of shops, restaurants, services, pedestrian streets and the jetty for the boats to Tavira’s islands and beaches.
