<p>The Jalon valley is situated just a few miles inland. Surrounded by pine trees, oaks, rosemary and thyme. In the early spring you can enjoy the blossom of the almond trees, which changes the scenery of the valley into pink and white. At the end of the summer it is harvest time: the grapes are ripe and soon the leaves of the vineyards will turn into golden brown.
</p><p>There are nine villages in the Vall de Pop, Jalon (or Xalo in the Valencian language) being the largest with its 2500 inhabitants. In the local shops you will find products from the valley: the famous red Xalo wine, the sweet white desert wine Moscatel, honey and almond biscuits. There is a wide range of restaurants where you can enjoy delicious food and wines. Enjoying the quiet rural life, but only 20 minutes away from the coast: Denia, Moraira, Javea and Calpe.

<h1 class="heading1"><strong>Building your own house:<br> dream or nightmare?
</strong></h1><br />
</center>
<h2 class="heading2"><b>Dream
</b> </h2>
<p>Buying a plot of land with an old shed and changing it into a large villa with pool, terrace and a garage. Yes, that nice salesman told you could build on it. Forget it!
</p><br />
<h2 class="heading2"><b>Nightmares
</b></h2>
<p>The plot turned out the be rural land with no building permission possible.
The cost of getting electricity and water on the plot turned out to be much higher than expected. That nice local builder suddenly lets you down without finishing the project. You had not noticed that in your Spanish contract with the builder all the financial risks are yours. Having noticed a serious defect after completion, it turned out that there is no building guarantee given. </p><br />
<h2 class="heading2"><b>Reality
</b></h2>
<p>
We hear about these problems frequently. Doing an individual project needs the advice and guidance of a professional and trustful party. If not your dream can become a nightmare. Jalon Villas co-operates with well-established local building companies. And that is not all: these companies have highly skilled workers and all social security and insurance premiums are paid. Having found a nice plot, there they will check if and how much can be build on the plot. Once that is all clear, we advise you to buy the plot.
Than we start talking about the house itself. How many room, how many terraces, pool, garage, etcetera. Together with the architect first sketches are made up and discussed with you. Finally the picture gets more clear and you have your dream on paper. And all of it within your budget. This is followed by a next step: the necessary bureaucracy (applications for permissions) but then the building process can start. Jalon Villas monitors this whole process can keeps you informed on a regular basis.
