Acquisition
Renovation risk in Marbella villas
What to consider before buying a Marbella villa to renovate: licences, costs, timing and resale.
Opportunity and risk
Many villas in established areas were built decades ago. Renovation can unlock value, but costs, timelines and licensing are frequently underestimated.
Questions to answer before buying
- Which works need a major works licence, and what is the realistic timeline?
- Does the existing building have full legal status?
- What is the structural condition of roofs, walls and pool?
- Will the renovated home sit within the price range buyers expect in that area?
