Frequently asked questions about renovations in Alhaurín el Grande
Can I legalise an old unlicensed extension in Alhaurín el Grande?
In many cases yes. It depends on the age of the construction, the planning classification of the land and whether disciplinary proceedings are open. We analyse the cadastre, the planning and the available documentation before proposing route and cost.
What is a building-age certificate and what is it for in Alhaurín?
It is a technical document signed by a chartered architect or surveyor certifying when a building was constructed and its current state. It is used for deeds, registry, inheritance, mortgages and to initiate AFO (out-of-planning-order equivalent) or legalisation procedures.
Can I renovate a house on rural land in Alhaurín el Grande?
Yes, provided the home is legally recognised (with an original licence or through an AFO). Renovation scope depends on the plot regime. Internally there is substantial flexibility; on façade, roof or extension the regulations must be carefully followed.
What are the specifics of renovating a house in Alhaurín old town?
Structure is usually load-bearing masonry with old timber floors, tiled roofs over timber, narrow stairs and interior courtyards. Before designing, we assess structure and damp. The old-town aesthetic ordinance protects façades and elements visible from the public realm.
How long does a legalisation take in Alhaurín el Grande?
A complete, well-prepared file is usually resolved in 6–12 months. It depends heavily on Council workload, other authorities’ involvement and the quality of the documentation. Filing a closed file the first time shortens times.

About Alhaurín el Grande
Alhaurín el Grande combines a vernacular town centre with a wide rural area dotted with homes and plots. It is one of the municipalities where we handle the most legalisation requests for old constructions: extensions, garages, annexes or pools built without a licence that must now be regularised for sale, inheritance or refinancing.
The Council files minor and major works licences under its own criteria. On rural land, alongside municipal rules, the regional Land Law regulations apply and shape interventions and uses. The first step is always a feasibility study.
Many town-centre homes need a full review of structure, foundations and services before designing the renovation. Our team inspects the real state, drafts the report and proposes a realistic scope.
