Renovation in Pollensa
Pollensa is tall narrow town houses of local stone, organised around a stair and a courtyard, with rural fincas across the countryside behind the town. The common projects are town house renovations, stairs moved and floors opened, courtyards opened up or glazed, top floors and roof terraces gained, finca renovations, and installations run up through a building that has no ducts.
Describe the house, the stair and the courtyard, and we pass the request to renovation companies that work in the town.

Renovating a town house in Pollensa
A house of this type is tall and narrow, so it works vertically. The stair is not circulation added to a plan; it is the spine the plan hangs from, and it usually sits where it does because the structure and the light both needed it there. Moving it is possible and it is the largest single decision available in one of these houses.
The courtyard does the other half. It brings light and air into the middle of a deep plan, it gives the ground floor somewhere to open onto, and in the older houses it was the working heart of the building. Rooms facing it behave completely differently from rooms facing the street.
So the useful early question is not what the finishes should be. It is whether the stair stays, whether the courtyard is being opened up or built into, and what those two answers do to the floors above. Get that settled and the rest follows; leave it open and everything else has to be priced twice.
Common renovation issues in Pollensa town houses
The decisions that shape one of these houses:
The stair
Whether it stays where it is or moves, which opens every floor it passes through and transforms the plan.
The courtyard
Opened up, glazed over or built into, and how the ground floor connects to the space behind.
The top floor and the roof
Often the least altered and the most usable part, and many of these houses can gain a roof terrace.
Stone walls and timber floors
Thick walls carrying the whole structure vertically, and floors between storeys checked where they bear.
Installations with no ducts
Wiring, plumbing and drainage run up through a building that never had a route for them.

How much does renovation cost in Pollensa?
Moving the stair is the expensive decision, because every floor it passes through is opened and re-supported. Roofing over a courtyard or converting the top floor are the next ones, and each is structural work in a stone building.
With those settled, the number follows the usual pattern for a house of this age: installations run through a building with no ducts, timber checked, and the finishes chosen.
Several quotes for the same written scope, from companies that have worked on these tall town houses, will show what each decision costs.

Is a Pollensa town house worth renovating?
Yes. The stone, the height and the courtyard are qualities no new build offers, and what dates these houses – installations, dark middles, unused top floors – is exactly what a renovation addresses.
Can the staircase in a Pollensa town house be moved?
Usually it can, and it is the biggest structural decision in the house because every floor it passes through has to be opened and re-supported. It is also the change that transforms the plan most, so it is worth pricing properly rather than dismissing early.
Should the courtyard be glazed over?
It depends what you want from it. Roofing a courtyard gains an interior room and loses the outdoor space and much of the ventilation that made the plan work. Both are valid and it is worth seeing the consequence drawn before deciding.
Is the top floor of a Pollensa house worth converting?
Frequently, and it is often the least altered part of the house. What decides it is the roof structure and the head height, both of which are easy to establish early and expensive to discover late.
What is the programme for a Pollensa town house renovation?
With the stair moved or the courtyard roofed, months, because the structural stage comes first and everything waits on it. Installations and finishes on a house whose plan stays put is much shorter, and the quote should show which.
