Frequently asked questions about renovations in Fuengirola
Do I need a licence to renovate a flat in Fuengirola?
Yes. Every renovation needs a municipal filing in Fuengirola. Interior refurbishments with no structural or layout changes are handled as minor works (declaración responsable). Layout, structural, façade or shared-services works require a major works licence with a technical project.
What happens if my building has an unfavourable ITE?
The community must rectify the defects within the deadline stated in the report. If you plan to renovate your flat, we coordinate with the administrator to avoid clashing with shared façade, roof or services works. Where feasible, we bundle line items to avoid duplicating scaffolding.
Can I renovate my home for holiday rental (VFT)?
Yes, but first confirm the residents’ community by-laws do not prohibit it and that the municipal plan allows it on that plot. We focus the renovation on durability and compliance with Decree 28/2016 on Holiday Rentals: bathrooms, kitchen, ventilation, heating and air conditioning.
How long does a full flat renovation take in Fuengirola?
A standard 80–100 m² flat with full renovation typically takes 10–16 weeks on site, plus the previous project and licence time. We work with a weekly schedule and photographic report, even if the owner does not live in Fuengirola.
What are the specifics of beachfront renovations?
Sea-salt air accelerates corrosion of metal joinery, hardware and air-conditioning units. We specify anodised or marine-painted aluminium, stainless-steel hardware and extra protection on outdoor units. Façade changes on the beachfront usually need specific authorisation.

About Fuengirola
Fuengirola has one of the densest residential stocks on the Costa del Sol, with 1970s–80s beachfront towers, a mid-town of apartment blocks and hillside townhouses (Torreblanca del Sol, Los Boliches, El Higuerón). Renovating here means understanding the building, not just the flat: shared services, downpipes, roofs and façades often shape the scope.
Fuengirola City Council issues minor and major works licences and applies specific façade rules on the beachfront. Many buildings have already gone through their initial ITE inspection; if your community has outstanding defects, it is wise to coordinate with the administrator so nothing is done twice.
A large share of Fuengirola renovations are aimed at rentals, either long-term or holiday (VFT). In that case the project must deliver durable finishes, functional lighting, kitchens sized for intensive use and compliance with the Andalusian VFT decree. We build this into the concept from the first sketch.
