For Real Estate Professionals in Mallorca
A buyer standing in a property that needs work asks what the work would cost, and there is rarely a good answer available in the moment. Describe the property, or send the client here to describe it, and we pass the request to renovation and building companies on the island that will price it.
The question that arrives at the second viewing
It is almost always the same question. The client can see the property, likes enough of it, and cannot tell whether what it needs is a season of work or a year of it. Until somebody answers that, the property is not really being considered, it is being worried about.
The answer is available and it is not complicated to get. A building company that works on the island can walk the property and come back with a scope and a range against it. What it needs is somebody to arrange the visit, which in practice is the part that does not happen.
Nothing here costs anybody anything. Nobody pays to be compared and no fee is taken from a sale, an introduction or a quote, in either direction. This is a comparison service and the whole of its business is passing a description to companies that want the work.
What is useful to have before the request goes out
- The property type, and roughly its floor area
- Where it is, because that changes who can take the work on
- The year it was built, or an honest guess at the decade
- What the client wants changed, in their own words
- Whether the layout is being kept or redrawn
- Anything already known about the services or the structure
- Photographs of the parts nobody photographs for a listing
- Whether the sale has completed, or is still in progress
- How soon the client would want the work to start
Two ways this usually gets used
Both work. Which one suits depends on how close you want to stay to it.
-
01
Send the client the link
They describe the property themselves and deal with the companies directly. You stay out of the technical conversation entirely, which is often the right place to be.
-
02
Ask on their behalf
You describe the property and pass the quotes on. It is quicker at the start and it does mean the detail comes through you.
-
03
Either way, the companies contact them
Each company replies directly with its own price, timing and approach. Nothing about the pricing runs through us and nothing runs through you unless you want it to.
-
04
The quotes are theirs to use
To decide with, to negotiate with, or to walk away on. All three happen and all three are reasonable outcomes of asking.
The pages clients ask about most
How your request reaches a company
Mallorca Renovation is a comparison service. A request for a renovation on a client property goes to the renovation and building companies on our list; they quote the work and carry it out, and any agreement is between you and the company you pick.
-
01
Describe the job
Tell us the property, roughly what you want and where it is. Photographs and a rough plan help, though neither is required.
-
02
We match it
The request goes to companies that work in your area and take on this kind of job at this size.
-
03
They quote you
Each company contacts you directly with its own price, timing and approach. We do not set any of it.
-
04
You compare and choose
Put the quotes side by side and take the one you want, or none of them. Using the site costs you nothing.
Is there a fee, or a commission?
Neither, in either direction. Nobody pays to be listed and nothing is taken from a sale or an introduction. The request costs the client nothing and it costs you nothing.
Will a company visit a property that has not sold?
Usually yes, and it is normal. It is pricing rather than booking, and companies on the island are used to being asked before a purchase completes because that is when the answer is worth having.
How long does a response take?
It varies by company, by season and by how far the property is from them, so it is better to set the expectation loosely than to promise a number. The winter months are the busiest for renovation work on the island.
Can I stay in the loop?
That is between you and your client. If they send the request themselves the companies deal with them directly; if you send it, the replies come to you. Neither route is treated differently at this end.
What if the property needs more than a renovation?
Then a company will say so, which is useful in itself. Whether a property is better refurbished or replaced is a real question on some plots, and it is much cheaper to ask before a sale than after.
