A full renovation in Santander typically runs between €400/m² (standard finishes) and €1,200/m² (premium finishes). The price depends on the current condition, the materials and whether plumbing or wiring has to be moved. Get at least 3 quotes so you have a real market benchmark.

The reduced 10% VAT rate applies when the work is on a private home, you have lived there for more than 2 years and materials account for no more than 40% of the taxable base. If those conditions aren't met, 21% applies. The rules are the same in Santander as in the rest of Spain.

For work that doesn't touch the structure or the layout, a minor works permit (licencia de obra menor) from Santander council is enough. If you knock down load-bearing walls, alter the façade or change the use of the premises, you need a major works permit and a project signed off by an architect.

87% of projects posted in Santander receive at least 3 quotes within the first 24 hours. In areas with fewer local professionals it can take 48-72h.
