In Spain you need permission from the town hall before most building work. It's where projects usually stall. We work out exactly which licence you need, prepare the documents with the architect, submit them and chase the town hall until it's granted.
Work done without the right licence can come back to haunt you years later, usually when you try to sell. Getting it right at the start costs far less than fixing it afterwards.
The town hall can stop work on site and fine the owner, sometimes long after the builders have left.
Buyers' lawyers and banks check the paperwork. Unlicensed work can stall a sale or a mortgage.
Without the right licences, insurers can refuse claims and new homes can't be connected or registered.
Pick the closest match. Every property is different, so treat this as a starting point and we'll confirm it for your address.
Adding built area needs a full project by an architect and a major works licence.
General guidance for Andalusia. The final answer depends on your town hall, your land classification and the exact work, which we check before quoting.
You declare the work to the town hall and can start once it's filed. Andalusia uses this for most small jobs.
Formal permission based on an architect's project, checked against the local plan before any work starts.
Confirms a finished new build matches its licence. Needed to connect water and power and to register the home.
Recognises older unlicensed buildings that can no longer be demolished, so the property can be used, sold and insured.
We look at the address, the land classification and what you want to build, and tell you which route applies.
We prepare the drawings and, where needed, coordinate the architect's project and any surveys.
We file the application with the town hall and pay the taxes and fees on your behalf.
We track the file, answer any requests for more information and keep it moving.
You receive the licence, and we can start building straight away if you'd like us to.
Every licence is different, so we quote per project after a first look at the property. The quote lists each part separately, so nothing turns up later.
Almost always some paperwork is needed, even for a new kitchen or bathroom. For small interior work it is usually a simple declaration rather than a full licence, and we can file it for you quickly.
No. We can act on your behalf with a signed authorisation, so most clients never need to visit the town hall.
Often, yes. We investigate what was built and when, then find the route to regularise it so the property can be sold, insured or mortgaged.
Yes. Most clients use us for the design, the licence and the build, so one team carries the project from start to finish. If the town hall asks for more information along the way, we answer it for you.
Send the address and a few lines about what you want to do. We'll tell you which licence applies and what it will take.
