Restoring a Spanish Finca for a UK-Based Expat

Location: Inland near Mijas, Spain

Property Type: Rustic 5-bedroom finca with land

Owner’s Home Country: Spain (living in the UK)

The Situation

Luis, originally from Málaga but now living in Manchester, inherited his family’s rural finca. Years of neglect meant the property needed significant repairs before it could be used for family holidays and potential long-term rentals. With Luis overseas, coordinating multiple tradespeople was a challenge.

Our Solution

Solcierge took charge of the restoration project, sourcing reliable local contractors for roof repairs, landscaping, plumbing, and painting. We oversaw all work, kept Luis updated with regular photo reports, and ensured the project was completed on budget and within three months.

The Result

The finca has been transformed from a disused property into a beautiful, functional home. It’s now used for family reunions in summer and rented to trusted tenants during the year.

Owner’s Feedback

“I was dreading the amount of work needed, but Solcierge handled everything. The finca looks better than I remember as a child — they brought it back to life.”
