A full renovation in Gran Canaria starts at around EUR 600/m2 (excluding IGIC) and can reach EUR 1,000/m2 depending on finishes. For a typical 90-100 m2 home, the cost usually sits between EUR 65,000 and EUR 95,000. Within the works, a complete kitchen or bathroom typically starts from EUR 6,000 each. These are approximate guide figures, excluding IGIC.
What affects the price
- Surface area and starting condition: more square metres and more deterioration mean higher demolition and renovation costs.
- Finishes: flooring, joinery, kitchen and bathrooms determine a large part of the budget.
- Services: fully renewing plumbing, electrics and air conditioning is standard in older homes.
- Layout changes: removing walls or relocating wet areas increases the cost.

IGIC on the renovation
In the Canary Islands there is no VAT but IGIC: the general rate is 7%, but renovation of a primary residence may qualify for a reduced 0% or 3% rate if the requirements are met. This is the real tax advantage over mainland Spain. We detail it in our guide to IGIC on renovations in the Canary Islands.
The best way to know the real cost is a visit and a fixed quote. See what is included in our full renovation in Gran Canaria.
