Are you thinking of investing in the purchase of a property that already has a tourist license?
The management of the change of ownership of a tourist license can be a complicated process, influenced by political and economic interests.
In the Valencian Community, for example, it is no longer possible to purchase a property with a tourist license and then change the owner. This is due to measures implemented to avoid what the authorities consider “real estate speculation”.
However, in Andalusia we still have room for maneuver, as this type of change is still viable.
However, one of the biggest challenges when it comes to managing these licenses lies in the role of the communities of neighbors, a subject that we will address later on.
How to make the change of ownership of a tourist dwelling in Andalusia?
Here are the key steps to carry out the change of ownership.
1. Check tourist registration code in Andalusia
One of the most important steps is to verify that the tourist license is correct and active.
Sometimes they are false or have been cancelled and it is important to verify them.
2. Ask for a certificate tourist rental neighbors
One of the requirements to carry out the change of ownership is to verify that the community of neighbors does not have prohibitions on the tourist rental at the moment of the request.
For it, it will be necessary to request a certificate in the Registry of the Property that accredits this information.

3. Certificate of Occupancy for Tourism Purposes
The third step consists of verifying if we have the document of the certificate of occupancy. If we do not have it, it will be necessary to request a copy at the town hall.
Sometimes, the town hall itself does not have this document because the dwelling has never had a certificate of occupancy. In these cases, it will be necessary to elaborate a certificate of habitability specific for tourist housing.
This document must be issued by a qualified technician, such as an architect or engineer.
At Licencia Vacacional we can take care of this process for you.
