Apartment Renovations on the Costa del Sol
Renovating an apartment on the Costa del Sol is a logistics exercise as much as a construction job. There are neighbours above and below, a community with rules, one lift, and a finite window when the property is empty. VANHEES runs apartment reforms as complete projects: coordinated, sequenced and finished on schedule.
We renovate apartments from Málaga to Estepona — holiday homes, full-time residences and rental investments. The scope runs from a single bathroom or kitchen to a complete strip-out and rebuild.
The apartment reform, start to finish
A typical complete apartment renovation follows this sequence:
- Community notification, lift protection and waste planning
- Strip-out of floors, bathrooms, kitchen and old fittings
- Electrical rewiring to modern standards
- New plumbing, bathrooms and kitchen
- New flooring throughout — porcelain or large-format tile
- Plastering, smoothing and full repaint
- Built-in wardrobes, doors and final detailing
Why owners renovate apartments here
Three motives come up again and again. First, the property stock is old: many apartments still run original bathrooms and kitchens, and buyers and renters notice immediately. Second, rental returns: a renovated apartment rents faster and higher. Third, personal use: after years of 'we'll fix it next year', owners finally hand it to one company and get it done in weeks, not seasons.
Managing from abroad
You don't need to be on the coast during the renovation. The quotation is fixed before work starts, photo updates arrive on WhatsApp as each stage completes, and any decision — tile choice, paint colour, extra work discovered — comes to you with a clear cost attached before we proceed.
