Do you want to buy your dream villa only to find out when you submit a building plan that you do not have a first occupancy licence and are therefore not allowed to make any changes until you have met the current requirements? These usually involve high additional costs.
How would you like it if you bought an exclusive penthouse with a wonderful view of the sea and shortly afterwards the construction of a shopping centre started and blocked your view? It is not only annoying, but also causes considerable problems when renting or reselling.
Your dream of a relaxed, happy life under the Spanish sun will be shattered very quickly without the precise knowledge of town planning law. And that is precisely why I see it as my job to protect you from this and other damage.
With over 20 years of expertise and experience in urban development, I can support you in realising the wishes and requirements you have for your property. Once we have jointly selected a suitable property, we then check whether the desired property could be affected by the regulations of the land use plan or the regional planning and infrastructure plan for the western Costa del Sol. That means:
| Already during the selection and visiting of properties of interest to you, we check whether the desired property could be affected by the regulations of the land zoning plan or the regional planning and infrastructure plan for the western Costa del Sol. The zoning plan of the respective city allows us to check: |  |
🔴 The type, area and height of the authorised building
🔴 Residential and private and public green areas
🔴 Public plots for social use (schools, sport, culture) and commercial areas
This plan also shows whether the property you have selected is suitable for extension or whether it is already overbuilt.
This check also enables us to recognise whether we need to take steps in the purchase process to legally include any additional m2 in your purchase deed.
We also check whether the property has a first occupancy licence, as this is only issued if the property meets all the requirements of the building project for which the planning permission was granted. If no first occupancy licence exists, we check whether this can be applied for retrospectively.
Thanks to my expertise, I am in a position to check this precisely and ensure that you do not suffer any damage in the event of existing negative situations.
 | The regional planning and infrastructure plan of the state government is the overarching plan to which the cities must also adhere. This stipulates 🔴 where residential development is possible 🔴 which agricultural and nature conservation areas must be observed. |
The plan also allows us to determine where new roads, railway lines and industrial estates are planned, so that you can be sure that you won't wake up next to an express train one day or be unable to hear yourself over the roaring noise of the road.
The "bargains" frequently found on the Internet most of the time have a reason, namely significant restrictions or planned construction projects as described above.
In Spain, it is not part of the duty of care of estate agents and lawyers to inform the buyer of these negative effects.
It goes without saying that we take just as much care to ensure that your dream property is free of encumbrances and work together with your lawyer with the utmost care.
Because only when all these points have been carefully checked and any problems rectified will nothing stand in the way of your happiness.
Save time and money, but above all: buy safely!
