Full home refurbishments are booming thanks to the revival of the resale property market. According to Spain’s National Statistics Institute (INE), 81% of last year’s transactions involved resale homes: more than 390,000 sales. And the trend looks set to continue in the coming years.
Which areas matter most?
Plan the refurbishment well in advance, thinking about what your family will need in the new home:
- How many bedrooms?
- Shower or bath?
- Would you like more natural light in every room?
- How much storage will you need?
- And so on.
For the best results, it pays to seek inspiration and advice from refurbishment professionals. At MLZ Construcción we will show you how to gain more usable space by reworking the layout, how to bring natural light into every room, which materials work best for bathrooms, kitchens and floors, and which colours and textures suit each room. With MLZ Construcción, you will always get it right.
MLZ Construcción takes care of everything
A full refurbishment is not something to be taken lightly. That is why it makes sense to hire one company that takes care of absolutely everything, rather than engaging each trade separately: a plumber from one firm, a builder from another, and so on.
Do not be tempted by the cheapest quotes: they can prove very expensive in the long run, as the budget often creeps up as the work progresses. Our advice: insist on a fixed, signed quotation before work begins.
Tips for a successful full refurbishment
A full refurbishment is a complex undertaking, and if it is your first, you may not know where to start. Follow these steps and everything will be far easier, with no unpleasant surprises.
- Choose the right solutions: full refurbishments tend to take longer and cost more, but the results are worth it.
- Be clear about your needs and priorities: list your needs in order of importance. With a fixed budget, you may sometimes have to drop a few non-essentials. Good windows and a well-sealed envelope, for instance, matter more than an exotic hardwood floor.
- Choose an experienced, reputable company: a builder that combines good design with quality and durability is the most practical choice. That is the case with MLZ Construcción: over the years we have become a leading luxury construction company on the Costa del Sol.
- Permits and licences: a reliable refurbishment company will handle all of this for you, so you can be sure that:
- the work complies with current regulations and the refurbishment is viable;
- the costs do not get out of hand.
MLZ Construcción gets the most out of your money by delivering the best possible project, following your brief and keeping to budget and schedule.
