Servicios
OUR SERVICE IS A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF LEGAL STANDING OF A PROPERTY.
CONSULTATION WITH THE PLANNING AUTHORITIES
At this office, we analyze the current urban planning status to ensure that the property complies with the current regulations. We confirm, or otherwise, if the zone is urbanized, if there are any additional legal restrictions (e.g. environmental protection guidelines, flooding risk etc), and whether the property could be subject to future compulsions or possible expropriations of land.
CONSULTATION WITH PROPERTY REGISTRY OFFICE
We establish the legal ownership of the property, whether or not there is a prior lien (a mortgage or even any existing right of ways and any other limitations that may affect ownership rights), to avoid unpleasant future surprises.
CONSULTATION WITH STATE MAPPING OFFICE
We review mapping accuracy regarding, primarily, to confirm that one is purchasing what the deed of the seller outlines and, in addition, to safeguards against back-tax shocks.
WRITTEN LEGAL ASSESSMENT AND RELEVANT REPORTS
Defensa’t provides its clients with a detail written report advising as to the legal status and feasibility of the property the client is proposing to purchase. Furthermore, this report could be used to negotiate with the seller as it highlights shortcomings that would not have surfaced otherwise.
SPECIALISTS IN LEGALISATION OF ILLEGAL DWELLINGS
In the Valencian Province, there are more than 300,000 houses built illegally (i.e. on unzoned land). If one bought such a property, there could be dire consequences either at the time of sale or should one lose essential services, such as power or water, and wish to reconnect (generally because of a lack of occupancy licenses). However, at Defensa’t we offer solutions through the "Environmental Impact Minimization" process, a legal option to regularize the situation of your dwelling and obtain the necessary licenses.
