Pre-purchase rental compliance,
in writing.
A single coordinated review owned by one lawyer, signed by one firm, delivered in one document. Every finding cited; every risk priced; every layer covered. So the only person inside your transaction who is surprised at the notary table is the seller — never you.
Four regulatory layers, one report.
Every Spanish property sits inside four overlapping rental regimes. We audit each one and surface the concrete risk you would otherwise discover only after signing the deed.
Layer 01 · Horizontal Property Law · estatutos
Comunidad de Propietarios
We verify
- Community bylaws (estatutos) and internal regulations
- Article 17.12 LPH restrictions on tourist use
- Existing prohibitions on short-term rental in the building
- Required 3/5 majority votes already on file
Risk if skipped
Buyers can lose tourist-rental rights overnight when a community of owners passes a single Article 17.12 vote — even after the purchase has closed.
Layer 02 · Municipal licensing · zoning
Ayuntamiento
We verify
- Municipal short-term rental licence (VFT / VUT / VTAR)
- Zoning and saturated-zone declarations (PEUAT, PEAT)
- Open inspection files or pending sanctions
- Compulsory municipal taxes status (IBI, tasa basuras)
Risk if skipped
Cities like Barcelona, Madrid centro and Sevilla have suspended new tourist licences. Buying without checking municipal status can mean owning a property that is structurally barred from renting.
Layer 03 · Regional rental law · sanction tables
Comunidad Autónoma
We verify
- Regional adaptations of LAU 29/1994
- Minimum and maximum stay caps for tourist use
- Regional sanction tables (Cataluña, Baleares, Andalucía, Valencia, Madrid, Canarias)
- Recent regional decrees and moratoria
Risk if skipped
Sanctions reach €30,000 in Cataluña and €60,000 in Baleares for unlicensed tourist activity. Regional rules change quarterly — a property compliant six months ago may not be compliant today.
Layer 04 · Post-Supremo 620/2026
Registro Autonómico de Turismo
We verify
- Current registry status of the property
- Post-Supremo 620/2026 compliance check
- Inclusion in the regional tourism active registry
- Pending sanctions or open inspection records
Risk if skipped
After Tribunal Supremo 620/2026, properties not in the autonomous tourism registry cannot legally take tourist bookings. The registry entry itself is the legal title to operate.
