Construction and reforms

Visualize the house of your dreams. . .

. . . we take care of coordinating the legal, technical and economic aspects.

Every homeowner’s dream is to live comfortably in a house made for them

This is the main reason why our clients decide to buy land and build their house on it.

Do you feel identified?

You may also want to buy a building plot and build a house, business premises, shopping centre or hotel to sell it or make a profit.

You may be the manager or owner of a construction company, a developer or a real estate investor.

Whether you want to build your own house or you are a company related to the real estate market, this information will be of interest to you.

Whatever the reason, if you purchase a piece of land you must comply with a very thorough legal and fiscal control.

This legal and fiscal control is essential if you want the feeling with which a construction or reform begins to become a palpable reality free of uncertainty.

The Spanish law regulating construction is effective and provides guarantees to the developer, which will be the one receiving the finished house from the builder.

The construction company and all the technicians involved in the work must comply with the regulations.

It is important that the construction is guaranteed with the adequate insurance, to therefore protect the person ordering the construction.

And, most importantly, to have a construction contract guaranteeing the building’s safety.

Why is it essential to sign a construction contract?

Constructions must be controlled from minute one.

It is necessary to plan the way in which the construction will be carried out whether it is a new construction or a reform.

In order to keep a correct control of the technical and legal documentation from its beginning until its completion, this contract will regulate all the relations between the parties, builder, developer, technical manager, architects and all the technicians involved.

This contract also regulates the construction’s quality.

It is therefore an essential contract to ensure that both technical and legal documentation are coordinated.

It works the same way when renovating an old property.

It is common to think that a reform does not require such a thorough technical and legal observance as may be the case with building from scratch, however, it is a mistake to think so.

Home improvement is not just a facelift.

To reform is to improve aesthetically and technically the previous construction and this also requires regulatory compliance.

What else should you consider when building or renovating a property?

Once we are clear about the basis of the construction contract, one should take into account the importance of registering it in the Property Registration.

The new property deed will be registered in the Property Registration.

What is a new property deed?

It is a document signed at a notary. Here we describe the new house’s construction, if it has been reformed or if it has changed any of its settings.

In order for this deed to be registered in the Property Registration and become final, the obligatory legal and technical documents must be provided.

The Property Register ensures that all properties comply with the technical and legal requirements.

This involves registering in the Property Register:

● The description of the property’s identification.

● Its annexes.

● The value of the investment.

Nowadays there is a greater demand for documentation in order for the construction to be considered legal, therefore it is very convenient that the construction is supervised by the necessary technicians and lawyers.
