Practical Example: Property-Specific Enquiry at Betancuria Town Hall
This practical example shows a specific process carried out as part of a property assessment on Fuerteventura.
O. Schlolaut obtained property-specific information concerning the municipal property tax, IBI, from Betancuria Town Hall. Such official enquiries may be necessary to assess tax data, administrative responsibilities, permitted uses and other property-related information before a purchase decision is made.
The mini-vlog combines the actual appointment at the municipal authority with a brief overview of the municipality of Betancuria. It also refers to an exceptionally large finca included in the public portfolio of AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY.
The video illustrates why a reliable property assessment cannot be conducted exclusively from a desk. Depending on the property, direct enquiries with the Ayuntamiento, Land Registry, Cadastre, water authority and other competent bodies may be required.
The process shown relates to a specific individual case. The scope, competent authority and outcome of an official enquiry depend on the respective property and the completeness of its documentation.
Practical example: On-site inspection of a prospective property in Triquivijate
This practical example shows the on-site inspection of a property that a prospective buyer had found on a Spanish property portal.
The inspection revealed several points that could not be reliably assessed on the basis of the listing alone. These included structural extensions, a swimming pool with an unclear planning permission status and an existing pozo, or well, whose actual functionality, documentation and legal right of use required further investigation.
The case illustrates why a purchase decision should not be based solely on photographs, property portal information and statements provided by the selling party.
Depending on the property, a structured inspection may include the following areas:
-
Comparison of the actual building stock with the available documentation
-
Inspection of structural extensions and ancillary buildings
-
Comparison of Land Registry and Cadastre records
-
Assessment of the planning permission status of a swimming pool
-
Technical and documentary inspection of a pozo
-
Clarification of possible water and usage rights
-
Enquiries with public authorities and involvement of qualified specialists
-
Identification of potential risks prior to a purchase decision
The case presented concerns a specific individual situation. For reasons of confidentiality, neither the property nor the property portal, the owner or the client is presented in an identifiable manner.
Binding legal, technical and planning-related assessments are carried out by the competent public authorities and by the appointed Spanish lawyers, architects and technical specialists.
