When the cadastre does not coincide with reality.

In some cases, the information described in the cadastre does not coincide with reality.

What to do in these cases? Read on, we explain it to you…

Cadastral land meaning

The Cadastre is a register, of an administrative nature, which includes all the real estate in a territory and is publicly accessible.

In other words, all properties, flats, houses, premises, industrial warehouses or land, will appear in this register.

This register is managed by the Ministry of Finance and Public Function, through the General Directorate of Cadastre.

Where can I find the cadastral reference of my property?

Firstly, you can find the cadastral reference of your property by consulting the IBI receipt, title deeds or nota simple.

Subsequently, if you want more information, you can go to the headquarters and consult all the cadastral data.

Go to the cadastre headquarters

Errors in the cadastral reference

Next, we show you the 3 most common mistakes in the cadastre:

Surface area or square metres

In many occasions, in the cadastre, the surface does not coincide with the reality nor with the data of the registry.

This can cause you to pay more IBI than you should, therefore, it is interesting to adjust it to the reality.

Incorrect address

The address may also have changed over time or there may have been an error in the cadastral register and it may be wrong.

Cadastral owner

Usually, the owner is not listed as the cadastral owner or is listed in a property that is no longer his.

How to change the land registry address of your home?

The procedure is relatively simple. The following documentation must be presented to the Cadastre Office:

  • A letter stating the situation, i.e., the error that exists.
  • Document containing the cadastral reference (simple note or deed, or IBI receipt).
  • Official document from the Town Hall, identifying the correct address.

Subsequently, you have 4 possibilities:

  • Telematic submission, through the Cadastre’s Electronic Headquarters, by means of a digital certificate or CSV.
  • Telematic submission (without the need for a digital certificate or CSV), by identification with DNI.
  • Sending by postal or administrative mail.
  • Physically in the Territorial Management of the Cadastre of your city.

Which prevails the land registry or the cadastre?

Firstly, the cadastral register is an “inventory” of properties of an administrative nature.
On the other hand, the property registry is an “inventory” of properties of a legal nature.

In the event of a discrepancy, the property registry prevails over the cadastre.

IEE Alicante (Building Evaluation Report)

Have you ever wondered if there is such a thing as a building MOT? Well, that’s right, there is, and it’s called IEE (Building Evaluation Report).

The main objective is to report on the state of the building so that the necessary measures are taken and it complies with the relevant regulations, accessibility and safety.

It is also a way to measure and promote energy efficiency and sustainable buildings. See below for more information on the grants available.

What is the IEEV.CV?

Officially, the Valencian Community calls it this way. But it is the same as the IEE.

It stands for: “Assessment report of the residential building in the Valencia Community”.

When is it compulsory to do the IEEV.CV?

Next, we are going to show you when it is compulsory to make the building evaluation report.

Buildings or constructions older than 50 years

All buildings older than 50 years for residential use are obliged to have this technical report. Likewise, it is compulsory for single-family houses.

Sometimes, this regulation is not known and the public bodies themselves warn of the situation. For example, they do not approve other technical reports if the IEE is not up to date.

Also, the Community of Valencia is sending out mass communiqués and letters to carry out the IEE, giving a time limit.

Subsidies and Aid Request

In other cases, to request aid to improve the efficiency of the building, they request this report. Independent of the age of the building.

Later, we will discuss the help you can find.

How to make IEE of buildings in GVA?

It is important to know that this report can only be done by certain technicians such as architects, quantity surveyors or civil engineers.

First of all, you have to hire a company or technician who can do it.

Then, you will have to provide the technician with all the relevant technical-administrative documentation.

Subsequently, a thorough technical inspection of the building will be necessary, taking these aspects into account:

  • Stairs
  • Facades
  • Openings
  • Walls
  • Covers
  • Roofs
  • Floors
  • Structure
  • Accessibility
  • Installations

Subsequently, the evaluation report must be drawn up and, finally, the registration must be submitted to GVA.

PRICE IEE ALICANTE

    GVA aid for carrying out the IEE

    If you are going to carry out the IEE in the Valencian Community, you should apply for the corresponding aid.

        How to obtain a Tourist Licence in Alicante?

        First of all, we would like to point out that this process is not easy at an administrative level. It requires several registrations in different administrations and a multitude of documents.

        Additionally, the expertise of a technician is necessary to sign certain documents.

        In the following, we will outline the best procedure based on our experience:

        1. Previous study of urban development compatibility for tourist accommodation.

        First of all, it is necessary to check whether the property can obtain a tourist license.

        Not all homes can have a tourist license in Alicante.

        Therefore, it is much better to know in advance before starting the formal management. This process involves the preparation of reports, payment of fees, and presentation of documents. In other words, with the previous study, we can avoid these unnecessary costs.

        We recommend being cautious with companies that offer tourist licenses and suggest skipping this step.

        2. Certificate of habitability

        As for the second step, it is necessary at the time of the application for the house to have a valid habitability certificate. If not, such a license would have to be obtained.

        3. Obtaining the compatibility report from the town hall.

        This document is essential for tourism as it enables them to grant you the license. It states that your property is compatible with the tourist license according to the territorial regulations.

        4. Registration in Tourism for a tourist licence

        Finally, we will register in Tourism, and we will need a digital certificate and home insurance.

        5. Communication Harmless Activity

        After obtaining the tourist license, the Alicante city council requires that you open and communicate the tourist housing activity, as a harmless activity.

        This means that you have to pay a new fee, do a technical project, etc.

        In conclusion, by following these steps, we will obtain the tourist license.

        So you don’t have to worry, QEE Engineering can process all this documentation for you.

          The tourist licence in Alicante is applied for at the GVA, presenting the documents required by the regulations of the Valencian Community.

          The holiday rental licence is not free. It depends on the locality but we can find this licence for an average price of 280 euros in Alicante. Fees and other taxes are to be paid separately.

          Fees vary from one community to another and from one locality to another.

          It should be noted that the tourist licence fee itself is free of charge. However, the registration of all the technical documentation required to obtain it comes with its costs.

          For example, in Alicante, to obtain a certificate of urban development compatibility, the fee is 111.39 euros.

          Finally, there is a cost of approximately €40, which should be added for the purchase of a distinctive plate. It serves to mark the property and is compulsory. You can purchase it by clicking here.

          AirBnb or Booking platforms require this type of licence to promote properties on their websites

          Contact QEE Ingenieria and they will help you carry out this procedure.

          If you are thinking of renting a flat or apartment for tourist purposes, think long and hard about doing so without a license.

          If you do not have a tourist license, you may be sanctioned by the competent local authority, as you are committing an illegal act.

          First of all, you must know the urban planning compatibility of the property. Sometimes, it is not feasible.

          Once you are sure that the premises can be converted into a tourist home or flat, you will proceed to carry out the necessary works. These works must be communicated to the Alicante Town Hall.

          After the completion of the works, make sure to obtain the corresponding habitability license. With this license and the favourable urban compatibility report, you can register your holiday home for tourism.

          Finally, submit the responsible declaration of innocuous activities to the Urbanismo department.

          This is the acronym for tourist housing.

          This term refers to dwellings that are rented for short stays. Additionally, the property must be equipped with the necessary furniture and provide cleaning services.

          One of the main requirements is that, as it is a dwelling, even if it is going to be used for tourism, it has to meet the conditions of a dwelling according to the Law of habitability, CTE, and DC09.

          Therefore, it is necessary to have an occupancy licence. If the latter has expired, a second occupancy licence will have to be obtained.

          If you require any of these procedures, do not hesitate to contact us.

          In the Valencian Community, the capacity of people for a tourist license is determined by the number and type of rooms. Typically, if a room is spacious and equipped with a double bed, the capacity is considered to be 2 people.

          However, if extra beds are available, the capacity can be increased. It is important to always indicate this information when promoting tourist accommodations.

          In the link below, we explain everything about the duplicate tourist licence.

          See more

          Despite what you may read on the internet, the tourist licence does NOT expire in the Valencia Region under the current legislation.

          In the following article, we attempt to explain the advantages and disadvantages of both types of rentals.

          Cheap Energy Efficiency Certificate in Alicante

          We tell you everything you need to know about the energy certificate, to be able to rent or sell your property and home

          What is the energy efficiency certificate?

          An Energy Efficiency Certificate (EEC) is a document that contains the information corresponding to the energy characteristics. In addition, the energy performance rating of a building or part of a building.

          DO YOU NEED TO HAVE A CHEAP CERTIFICATE IN ALICANTE?

          CONTACT US

          Is the energy certificate compulsory to rent or sell your property?

          It is compulsory if...

          You are going to sell or rent a property with a surface area equal to or greater than 50 m2 to a new tenant, as long as you do not have a valid certificate.

          It is not compulsory if...

          • Your property is isolated and has a total useful surface area of less than 50 m2.

          • Secondly, the use of the property you rent or sell will be less than four months per year. Or for a limited period of time per year and with an expected energy consumption of less than 25 per cent of what would result from year-round use.

          YOUR ENERGY CERTIFICATE IN 3 DAYS IN ALICANTE

          PRICE FROM 75 €.


            FAQ ABOUT CEE

            1. First of all, a competent technician must be called in to sign the energy efficiency certificate.
            2. This report will always be accompanied by a document of improvement measures, which are orientative and aimed at increasing the efficiency of the property.
            3. Subsequently, it will be registered electronically, after paying the corresponding administrative fees (this differs between autonomous communities).
            4. Finally, the label describing the resulting energy rating will be obtained.

            To cite an example, in the case of the energy efficiency certificate in Alicante, the headquarters of QEE Ingeniería, this fee for an individual dwelling within a block is 10 euros.

            An energy performance certificate is not free. The price of the energy certificate is usually linked to the type of property (flat, single-family house, commercial premises…) and its surface area.

            The energy performance certificate must be signed by a competent technician, legally authorised for this purpose.

            For example, an architect or industrial engineer.

            The energy performance certificate records the energy consumption, which is estimated to be necessary to satisfy the energy demand of the building. This is always under normal operating and occupancy conditions.

            For example, the energy consumed for heating, cooling, ventilation, domestic hot water production and lighting.

            The maximum validity of an energy performance certificate is 10 years.

            No, you cannot. One of these official accreditation documents is required.

            The NIE (Foreigner’s Identity Number) is a personal, unique and exclusive number that all foreigners who, due to their economic, professional or social interests, are related to Spain, must have for identification purposes. All taxpayers who do not reside in Spain but who own a property located in Spanish territory must pay tax on it, therefore, they must have a NIE.

            First of all, by law it is compulsory when you are going to sell or rent a property to present the energy efficiency certificate. However, in some cases, when major renovations are to be carried out, it is not necessary.

            For example, when it is a house, this certificate is NOT required if it is not habitable and a reform is needed for it.

            Para el caso de los locales, NO es necesario cuando el comprador para realizar su actividad, tiene que hacer una reforma importante.

            It is worth mentioning that the important reforms are when the modifications of the installations exceed 25% of the total of the property.

            According to Spanish law it is compulsory to have a technician visit the property or premises in order to obtain the certificate.

            Otherwise, it would be a serious sanction that can cost up to 6000 €.

            This inspection is compulsory because it is necessary to make physical checks, such as measurements of rooms and windows. In addition, some materials and energy installations need to be checked.

            In the following link we will show a financial aid for improving energy efficiency.

            See more

            In addition, here you can see the grants for installing solar panels.

            See grants for solar panels

            The energy certificate is also compulsory for the sale of premises. But there are exceptions:

            More information

            When a property is inherited, it is not compulsory for the property to have an energy certificate. But if it is to be sold at a later date, it is, as it is always obligatory for the sale.

            When constructing a building, by law, it is necessary to obtain an energy certificate for the entire building.
