DESIGNERS AND BUILDERS OF BEAUTIFUL VILLAS Each villa is superbly designed and crafted to a high specification. Our villas are built in the traditional way rather than the flat-pack-assemble-on-site process common in the Southern Costa Blanca. We have a highly talented architectural team and each villa can be individually designed at no extra cost. A new design is surprisingly simple to achieve: we will show you several different models of completed villas piecing together all the ideas and features that you prefer. Obviously, the final design has to conform to the needs of good taste and must enhance the aesthetic quality of the surrounding area. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination!

FOPDAC 1 www.montepego.co.uk BUY DIRECT The policy at Juan Porsellanes is one of dealing directly with their clients - either in Spain or through their representative in London. This way, you have a direct line of communication with English speaking staff in one of the most professional and long established companies in this field. Consequently, you have a much greater influence on the overall design of your villa; its interior specification; progress towards completion and after sales service. NB. We are fortunate in Monte Pego in that we do not need agents in Spain for our properties to sell which is why we only ever sell direct. SO, WHERE IN THE COSTA BLANCA? The company has a huge variety of plots on the Costa Blanca, all of which are situated close to Moraira, Javea, Denia and Oliva, easily the most picturesque part of the Costa Blanca and in the only area in Spain proclaimed by the World Health Organisation as having “one of the most environmentally perfect climates in the world”.

Renowned for its superb year round climate, wonderful light and brilliant, clear night sky, dazzling in a myriad of stars and meteor showers astronomers take note! Moreover, the panoramic view of the surrounding mountains, Mediterranean Sea and the village of Pego – itself an island amongst a sea of orange trees, is simply magnificent. Luxurious villas and a serene lifestyle with sufficient seclusion yet easy access to facilities - the beach is 5 minutes drive away: it is all too easy to see why Monte Pego has such a high proportion of permanent residents, and with such a high proportion of owners living permanently in Monte Pego, levying Community fees is unnecessary as people look after their own villas. We do have a villa servicing department on site for non-residents. Monte Pego is also famous for its abundant mountain spring water. No water cuts and no shortages. In fact, the water is so good, the same water source is bottled and sold as the local “Evian”. Local facilities: shops, stores, bars and restaurants, three outstanding golf courses, banks, tennis courts and nearby medical centres and hospitals. A few minutes drive inland is the typically Spanish village of Pego with its excellent school. A few minutes drive towards the sea brings you to the bustling and historic fishing port of Denia, with its beautiful village houses, squares and clean white blue-flag sandy beaches, from which the Costa Blanca takes its name. Snow Skiing - ski in the morning and sunbathe on the beach in the afternoon. The winter ski resorts of Valdelinares and Javalambre are just over 2 hours drive North of Monte Pego. Most plot sizes range from 500m2 to 2000m2 and start from around £73,000 with average plot prices being in the region of £85,000. Plot prices tend to be determined more by location than by size.

FOPDAC 2 www.montepego.co.uk YOUR VILLA CAN BE SURPRISINGLY INEXPENSIVE Casa Alegria, Detached freehold 131.7m2 villa with 3 bedrooms, terrace, porch, BBQ and pool on your choice of a 500m2 to 1000m2 plot. A special price of only 294,396 Euros (£205,871 @ 1.43€/£) including IVA taxes. Economy of scale enables such low prices. Construction quality is the same as on higher priced villas. Larger, higher or lower priced plots can be chosen simply by paying the difference. FREE ELEVATION All companies charge a substantial amount for the elevation of the villa when your choice of plot has a slope. We do not charge for this, even though the elevation provides you with an opportunity for adding considerable additional accommodation in the lower level. An additional space gain of around 50% or more is common (one use is to provide an apartment for guests). MORTGAGES Repayment (life-policy-free) mortgages secured on either your UK home or the villa you are buying, for up to 70% of the purchase price, can be arranged. The term is up to 25 years. The loan can be in any currency and the interest charged is currently around 4% (Euro). PAYING FOR YOUR VILLA Normally, construction payments are in stages of; (a: €12k) (b: 10% less €12k) (c: 20%) (d: 30%) (e: 30%) and (f: 10%). The first payment (a) secures the plot and fixes the price; (b) when contracts are signed; (c) once your plans are finalised; (d) once foundations are built; (e) when the roof is on, and the final payment (f) once the villa is completed to your satisfaction. Plot payments are paid in stages of 10%, 30% then 60% over 7 months. This increases your security by enabling you to register the plot in your name once only 30% of the construction has been paid for. Alternatively, you may wish to purchase the land before starting the villa: in which case you pay for the plot outright and construction in similar stages to above. Contracts are fixed price, and in both Spanish and English. All plots are freehold. FOREIGN CURRENCY Foreign Currency Direct is our currency dealer.
