Playa Flamenca 2 Bed Apartment

Self-build in Southern Spain

Phil Bass, 44, from near Sevenoaks in Kent, initially embarked on his self-build journey in the UK, but after a few years of pacing up and down potential plots he drew a blank. He simply couldn't find the right land at the right price for his ‘grand design' and so decided to continue his search in southern Spain where prime building plots are still relatively easy to come by – if you know where to look.

Phil is no stranger to the Costa del Sol having owned a penthouse apartment in Puerto Banús for the past five years. But this home, despite its idyllic beachfront location and quality finish, did not readily accommodate his four-legged family. Phil and girlfriend Jackie share their property in Kent with two dogs and two horses, none of which suit Spanish penthouse living - a predicament that Phil was keen to remedy through self-build in a countryside location.
