Frequently asked questions about renovations in Benalmádena
Can I open the kitchen to the living room in a Benalmádena flat?
Usually yes, provided the wall to be removed is non-structural and the community by-laws do not restrict it. We check the structural drawing and by-laws before designing. Opening the kitchen normally falls under minor works, unless it affects the façade or shared services.
How long does Benalmádena City Council take to issue a licence?
A minor works declaración responsable lets you start on filing. A major works licence typically takes 3–6 months depending on the Planning Department workload and project complexity.
What rules apply to homes in Benalmádena Pueblo?
The Benalmádena Pueblo core preserves a whitewashed vernacular image with tiled roofs and traditional joinery. Works to façades, roofs and external elements are regulated by municipal ordinance. We draft the project respecting the overall image.
Is it worth upgrading windows and insulation in an 80s flat?
Almost always, yes. Replacing old joinery with thermally broken aluminium or PVC and low-emissivity glass cuts HVAC use, improves acoustics and raises the energy rating. Regional grants for energy retrofits are sometimes available.
Can I renovate a townhouse without involving the community?
Interior works: yes; roof, courtyard or shared elements may need community notice or approval. We review by-laws and coordinate with the administrator before starting. It is safer to clarify everything in writing to avoid disputes during the works.

About Benalmádena
Benalmádena is really three towns in one: Benalmádena Costa (tourist, apartments and towers), Arroyo de la Miel (commercial and residential, with a good rail link to Málaga) and Benalmádena Pueblo (whitewashed, hillside, traditional houses). Each zone drives different projects and we play to the specifics of each in the renovation brief.
Benalmádena City Council files minor and major works licences with an active technical department. Many Costa communities have already run their ITE and some are in energy-retrofit programmes. Benalmádena Pueblo has aesthetic ordinances regulating colour, roof and joinery.
Renovation in Benalmádena typically combines comfort upgrades (insulation, windows, HVAC) with aesthetic refresh (open kitchens, level-access showers, scene lighting). We always work with a detailed spec and a written warranty.
