Real price ranges by renovation type, quality tier and zone. Based on 500+ completed projects since 2010. Updated 2026.
All prices shown are indicative and exclude VAT (10% reduced rate for residential properties in Spain). The actual cost of any project requires an in-person property assessment. Ranges reflect our experience across completed projects on the Costa del Sol — they exclude building permit fees, external technical fees and freestanding furniture.

Yes. This guide reflects our current cost structure as of 2026, including labour, materials and overheads on the Costa del Sol. Prices are updated annually.
All prices shown are exclusive of VAT. In Spain, renovation works apply a reduced IVA rate of 10% for residential properties (general rate is 21%). Your written quote will always specify whether VAT is included or excluded.
The main factors are: quality of materials and finishes (standard ceramic vs. large-format porcelain vs. natural stone), brand of fixtures and fittings, complexity of the layout changes, and whether custom joinery or bespoke elements are specified.
Yes. Costa del Sol Reformas works exclusively with fixed-price contracts. The price agreed in your written quote is the price you pay — no budget overruns, no surprise invoices at handover.
Yes. We manage full projects remotely for non-resident owners. We coordinate access, supervise daily work, send regular photo and video updates, and manage all communication in English. Many of our clients are abroad throughout the entire renovation.
A 60–80 m² apartment typically takes 8–12 weeks. A 100–150 m² home usually requires 3–5 months. Villa renovations can take 5–9 months depending on scope. All timelines are agreed in writing before work starts.
Structural changes, façade alterations and certain electrical or plumbing works require a building permit (licencia de obra mayor or menor). We manage the permit application on your behalf. Permit fees are an additional cost that depends on the municipality and scope of work — we include an estimate in your quote when applicable.
The ranges in this guide are indicative. The real cost of your project can only be calculated after visiting the property. Get in touch and we'll prepare a fixed-price quote at no obligation.
