Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install a high-quality swimming pool in Real, you have come to the right place. Located in the heart of the Ribera Alta comarca, Real is a charming village with a population of approximately 2,497 residents who understand the necessity of a private oasis during the scorching inland summers. Unlike the coastal breeze of the Mediterranean, our inland climate can be intense, making a backyard retreat essential for comfort. Whether you live in the historic town center or within one of the surrounding urbanisations like La Serreta, Barasa, El Espolón, El Carrechal, or Lomas del Peñasco, we specialize in tailoring outdoor solutions to the specific topography of this region. Navigating the local terrain requires expertise, and we pride ourselves on delivering durable, beautiful results. Regarding investment, in Real a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions and chosen finishes. My goal is to ensure your project integrates perfectly with your home while adding significant value to your property.

Regulations and Permits in Real

Navigating the legal landscape for outdoor construction in the Ribera Alta region is vital to avoid fines or project stoppages. In Real, all installations must adhere to the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) and specific municipal ordinances that dictate setbacks from neighboring walls and maximum occupancy percentages for your plot. Furthermore, any technical installations like motorized covers or structural pergolas must comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard to ensure safety and wind resistance.

Regarding the administrative process with the Real Town Hall (Ayuntamiento), the type of permit depends on the scale of the project. For major works (Obra Mayor), which include significant excavations or structural concrete shells, a full municipal license is required, supported by a technical project signed by an architect. For minor works (Obra Menor) or simple refurbishments, the process is streamlined through a "Declaración Responsable" (Responsible Declaration). It is important to note the strict timelines: once a license is granted or a responsible declaration is submitted, the owner has six months to start the work. If not started within this period, the license or declaration will expire, and you may have to restart the application process. At TuExterior, we assist you in preparing the necessary documentation to ensure your project remains fully compliant with local law.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Real?
The cost generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends on whether you choose a prefabricated polyester shell or a bespoke gunite (sprayed concrete) pool. Factors such as the ease of access for excavators in areas like El Espolón and the choice of filtration systems or salt electrolysis also influence the final price. We provide a detailed breakdown so you know exactly where your investment is going.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, any swimming pool construction in Real requires legal authorization. For a standard new pool, you will typically need an "Obra Mayor" license which involves a technical project. For smaller renovations or aesthetic updates, a "Declaración Responsable" might suffice. We highly recommend never starting work without the proper paperwork, as the local authorities in Ribera Alta are diligent about aerial inspections and zoning compliance.
How long does it take?
From the moment the first excavator arrives on your site in Real, a standard installation usually takes between 3 to 5 weeks. However, the administrative phase—obtaining the municipal license—can take several months depending on the Town Hall's current workload. We advise starting the planning process in autumn or winter so your pool is ready before the summer heat arrives in June.
Do you cover Real?
Absolutely. We operate across the entire municipality of Real and the surrounding Ribera Alta area. Whether your property is located in the urban center or in more elevated urbanisations like Lomas del Peñasco or La Serreta, our team is equipped to handle the specific logistical requirements of the local geography and soil types.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive warranty that covers both the structural integrity of the pool shell and the technical equipment. Typically, our concrete structures come with a 10-year watertightness guarantee, while the pumps, filters, and lighting systems are covered by the manufacturer's standard warranties, usually 2 to 3 years. We are committed to long-term reliability for our clients in Real.
Can you install heating systems for year-round use?
Yes, many residents in Real choose to install heat pumps or solar heating covers to extend the swimming season. Given the high number of sunny days in the Valencian interior, solar solutions are particularly effective here. This allows you to enjoy your investment from early spring through late autumn, rather than just the peak summer months.
What maintenance services do you offer?
While we focus on the installation and renovation of pools, we provide all our Real clients with a complete "startup" guide and can recommend local maintenance partners for regular cleaning and chemical balancing. We also install automated dosing systems that significantly reduce the manual labor required to keep your water crystal clear.
