Access and gradients
Many plots have steep slopes and narrow access: bringing in a lorry of materials or taking out rubble requires planning, and that affects the timeline.

The housing stock
What the homes we renovate in Benahavís are like.
Benahavís is dominated by detached homes within developments, generally with plenty of floor area and good original finishes. The typical job is not about necessity but about updating: kitchens, bathrooms, air conditioning and reworking outdoor spaces. In the village itself the housing is smaller and older, with the access constraints typical of a mountain settlement.
Updating, not fixing
Here the norm is starting from a home that works and wanting it better. The conversation is more about specifications and finishes than about old installations.
Demanding development rules
The developments have their own rules on façades, enclosures and colours. We check them before quoting anything visible from outside.

Common questions
What people ask before signing.
How much does it cost to renovate a flat in Marbella?
It depends on four concrete things: the size and condition of the property, what is behind the walls (if the wiring is 30 years old, all of it goes), how many bathrooms and kitchens are involved — that is where half the budget of a full renovation goes — and the quality of the materials you choose. That is why we do not quote over the phone: we come, measure and give it to you in writing, item by item, within 48 hours, free and with no obligation. A quote given blind is the one that later overruns.
What exactly does “fixed price” mean?
It means the amount you sign in the quote is the amount you pay when the work is finished. The quote includes every item measured, materials by brand (or equivalent), the timeline by week and payment by milestones. Anything we detect during the visit — consumer unit, pipework, visible damp — is already included in the price: that is why we look so carefully before quoting.
What if something unexpected comes up during the works?
It is quoted separately, in writing, and you decide whether it goes ahead. No surprise invoice appears at the end. A genuine unexpected issue is something that cannot be seen during the visit: a damaged joist under the floor or a broken soil pipe inside a wall. Anything visible during the visit is not unexpected — it is part of the fixed price.
How is the renovation paid for?
By milestones: part at the start, part halfway through and the rest on delivery, once you have seen it finished. The usual split is 30 % at the start, 40 % halfway and 30 % on completion, and it is written into the quote. You never pay everything up front.
How long does a full renovation take?
A full renovation of an 80–100 m² flat usually takes between 8 and 10 weeks if the property is empty. If you are living there it takes longer, because the work has to be done in phases. The quote includes the delivery date in writing, not an estimate: we plan week by week and show you the progress in each one.
Do I need a permit to renovate?
For interior work that does not touch the structure or the façade, a responsible declaration or a minor works permit is usually enough in Costa del Sol municipalities. If the structure is affected, openings are made in load-bearing walls or the façade is altered, a major works permit and a technical project are required. We handle the paperwork and it is included in the quote.
