Holiday let renovation in Mallorca: what we do
Holiday let renovation in Mallorca is best done between October and March, while the property is empty and you lose no bookings. In Palma, a partial renovation under a comunicación previa (prior notice to the council) can start after 15 days: book the visit before 15 November and the handover, signed in the contract, comes before Easter. A full renovation that needs a licence takes at least one more winter: in Palma, licences were taking 9 to 12 months in early 2026.
We renovate houses, fincas and apartments that you let to holidaymakers, from a single bathroom to the whole property. If yours is a house or a finca, you will find more details under villa and finca renovation in Mallorca. Our site manager coordinates the whole team, and we choose hard-wearing materials that last season after season.
- Hard-wearing bathrooms and kitchens, easy to clean between stays
- Efficient, quiet air conditioning in every bedroom
- Pool, terrace and outdoor areas, with new filtration equipment
- New electrics and plumbing, so nothing breaks down in August
- Heat pump and solar panels for lower electricity bills
- Energy certificate before and after the work
- Floors, joinery and finishes made for heavy use
- Weekly photos and key holding if you're not on the island

Step by step
A works schedule that gets you ready for the season
We plan backwards from your first booking. This example is for a partial renovation, with handover before Easter 2027. If the work needs a licence, we apply for it this winter and build the next. A full renovation of a villa or finca is spread over two winters or a season without letting.
Book your free site visitSeptember to November: visit
A visit in person or by video call, with a fixed quote and a schedule. To be ready for Easter, ask us for the visit before 15 November.
October to December: permits
We file the comunicación previa (15 days in Palma). With a licence (3 months by law, 9 to 12 in practice), the work moves to the following winter.
November to March: building work
Work goes ahead while the property is empty, with a single site manager. Every week you get photos and a summary of how it's going.
Before Easter: handover
We go through every detail with you, final clean included, and hand over the energy certificate. Ready for your first guests.
May to October: urgent work only
There is no general ban in summer, but tourist areas have set hours for noisy work. We fit urgent repairs in between two bookings.
What we guarantee
A renovation designed for your guests and your margin
Many negative reviews of rental villas mention the same things: air conditioning that doesn't cool, a dirty pool, blocked drains and worn furniture. That is where we focus.
Ready before the season
The handover date goes in the contract. We plan the work backwards from your first booking.
Cooling without soaring power bills
High-efficiency units sized for each room, and insulation where most heat gets in. Fewer guest complaints and lower consumption.
Energy that improves your margin
A heat pump for hot water and the pool, and solar panels in Mallorca with a battery, which produce most just when your occupancy is highest.
Materials for heavy use
Taps, floors and wall finishes that stand up to guest turnover and can be cleaned in minutes between stays.
Your renovation, even when you're not here
First meeting by video call with Dr. Lennart Jünemann, photos every week and key holding. In Spanish, German or English.
Fixed price and a 5-year guarantee
You know what it costs before work starts and you pay as the work progresses: nothing before you sign and 10% at most when work starts. A 5-year written guarantee.
Good to know
Rules affecting your holiday let in 2026
If you let to holidaymakers in Mallorca, these obligations affect the renovation. At the visit we tell you which ones apply to you.
Minimum energy rating
Ley 8/2012 requires an energy certificate before the property is marketed, rated at least F if the building dates from before 2008 or D if it is newer. In Mallorca, to register a single-family house, the island plan (PIAT) asks for more: class C and 50% of the hot water from renewables if it was built up to 2007, or class B and 70% if it is newer.
Oil boilers: out before 2030
Detached, terraced and semi-detached holiday lets must replace heating installations running on heating oil or fuel oil, including existing ones, with less polluting systems before 1 May 2030, unless this is shown to be technically impossible. Failing to do so is a very serious offence, with a fine of €100,000.
Holiday flats: no new registrations
Since April 2025, no new holiday let declarations can be filed in buildings under propiedad horizontal (divided into separately owned units), except terraced and semi-detached houses. Properties already registered are renewed for five-year periods as long as they still meet the requirements.
Equipment and installations in good order
Tourism regulations require equipment and installations to be in perfect working order and furniture in good condition. Renovating in time avoids penalties and bad reviews.
