Frequently asked questions about renovations in Ojén
Can I renovate an old house in central Ojén?
Yes. Interior renovation has significant freedom, always respecting structure and protected elements if any. Façade, roof, colour and joinery must fit the municipal ordinance. We submit the project with approved materials and colours before executing.
What are the specifics of renovating in a mountain village?
Narrow access, steep streets and complex logistics for materials and cranes. We plan deliveries, unloading and debris removal in advance, and coordinate with neighbours and the Council for temporary closures when needed. It is part of the extra cost of these areas.
Can I open a new window or balcony on the façade in Ojén?
It depends on the house’s protection grade and the local ordinance. New openings on façades require specific authorisation and usually a composition coherent with the ensemble. We study feasibility before designing.
How much does it cost to restore a village house in Ojén?
Full restoration of a village house typically sits above a standard urban flat renovation, because it involves complete structure, roof and floors on top of new services. We quote by line items after a free site visit.
Do you work with owners living outside Spain?
Yes. It is a significant part of our work in this area. We report weekly with photos and video, hold video calls for decisions and act under notarial power of attorney for Council filings when applicable.

About Ojén
Ojén is a whitewashed mountain village just 15 minutes from Marbella. Its old core combines steep streets, two-storey whitewashed houses and curved-tile roofs. Proximity to the coast has made it an attractive area for buyers seeking a traditional house in Sierra Blanca with views, without the urban density of the coast.
Ojén City Council applies its own ordinances to protect the old-town image. Works to façades, roofs, joinery and colour are regulated. Internally there is near-total freedom; the challenge is usually reconciling traditional architecture with modern comfort.
Our typical Ojén renovations include recovering masonry structure and timber floors, new roofs with insulation, full services upgrade and interior re-plan to gain a kitchen-diner and modern-scale bathrooms. We work with noble finishes: timber, reclaimed tile, tadelakt in bathrooms, wrought iron.
