Renovation
What to Know Before Renovating a Property in Mijas
Start your renovation with a clear brief, a realistic scope and a conversation about how you want to live.
A successful renovation starts before materials are chosen. A clear brief gives everyone a shared understanding of what the project should achieve.
Separate needs from wishes
List what must change and what would be welcome if the budget allows. A more practical kitchen, better storage or a bathroom that works for your routine can matter more than a dramatic visual transformation.
Understand the existing space
Ask the relevant professionals to assess the property before agreeing the scope. Existing installations, access, measurements and the condition of surfaces can affect the work. Photographs are useful starting points, but cannot replace a site assessment.
Ask about permissions before work begins
Have your project professional confirm which permissions, technical documents or community approvals apply to your particular work in Mijas. Requirements depend on the project; do not assume that a neighbour’s renovation followed the same process.
Put the details in writing
Discuss the scope, materials, responsibilities and proposed schedule. Clarify how variations will be agreed and allow for delivery lead times. Keep a record of decisions so the original brief stays visible as the work progresses.
