How much does it cost to refurbish an old village house and how to estimate it correctly

For the query how much does it cost to refurbish an old village house, the main factor is the real condition of the building. Structure, roof, rising damp, and systems condition are decisive.

Facade or visual finishes matter, but the highest costs usually come from technical elements that are not visible at first.

Define structural consolidation, roof replacement, plumbing and electrical renewal, insulation strategy, and joinery scope separately.

If these packages are not clearly defined in design, initial quotes are often incomplete and cost increases appear during construction.

Early technical diagnosis and a detailed execution project reduce uncertainty and improve quote comparison.

At BAU, we structure refurbishment projects in Mallorca to control cost, permit path, and timeline from the start.
