Nerja done by a contractor that actually answers the WhatsApp

Nerja is the eastern Costa del Sol's expat-favourite — the Balcón de Europa, the Cuevas de Nerja, the white-village casco viejo, the cliff-top villas of Capistrano and the cortijo-and-olive-tree countryside up toward the Almijara sierra. The owner profile is heavily international: British, Dutch, Belgian and Scandinavian retirees, plus a growing layer of younger families buying second homes that work as holiday rentals when they're not in residence.

Magnum Reformas runs more than 25 Nerja projects to date — full villa renovations in Capistrano, cortijo restorations in the Almijara foothills, and apartment refurbishments around Burriana beach. Our two project managers are native English speakers as well as fluent in Spanish, which matters in Nerja: most of our clients are abroad during construction and the WhatsApp updates are the project.

Why Nerja owners hire Magnum

Bilingual, fixed-price, fully managed — built for owners who live abroad.

Bilingual project management
Native-English-speaking PM on WhatsApp, weekly photo and video updates, Sunday written summary, live shared folder with every invoice and decision. Built for owners who run the project from London, Amsterdam or Stockholm.
Heritage-permit expertise
Nerja's Casco Antiguo and Maro have heritage rules on facades, tile rooflines and street-facing elements. We file dossiers that satisfy both the Ayuntamiento and the Junta de Andalucía heritage department.
Holiday-villa winterisation
Most Nerja villas sit empty 4–6 months a year. We spec damp-control, low-maintenance landscaping, security shutters and remote heating control so the property survives the absence.
Fixed price, fully signed
48-hour fixed-price contract. Materials, labour, architect, licence — one number. Holds through handover even when the owner has been abroad the whole time.

Renovating in Nerja, what changes

Nerja's Ayuntamiento and the Junta de Andalucía split heritage authority on Casco Antiguo and Maro properties — facades, tile rooflines and street-facing elements need both signatures. We file with both desks at once instead of sequentially, which saves 6–10 weeks on heritage-zone projects.

Most Nerja villas have absentee owners. That changes how we work: weekly photo + video updates by default, Sunday written summary in English, a live shared folder with every invoice and decision, and a security plan for the works window so the empty property is never exposed.

Nerja renovation — quick answers

Can I run the project from abroad?
Yes — most of our Nerja clients do. Native-English-speaking PM on WhatsApp daily, weekly photo and video updates, Sunday written summary, live shared folder with invoices and decisions. We've delivered Nerja projects with the owner only visiting once for the handover.
Do you renovate cortijos in the Almijara foothills?
Yes. Cortijo restoration is one of our regular Nerja briefs — heritage-respecting structural work, modern electrical and plumbing, energy upgrade, and outdoor landscaping with the original olive or almond trees preserved.
Can you handle Maro and Casco Antiguo heritage permits?
Yes — both Ayuntamiento and Junta de Andalucía submissions, filed in parallel rather than sequentially so the licence calendar doesn't stretch to 6 months.
How long does a full villa renovation in Capistrano take?
Most Capistrano villa rebuilds run 5–8 months from licence to handover. Cortijo restorations in the Almijara foothills add 2–3 months because of the heritage layer. Signed Gantt before works start.
