Legalization of Extensions and Modifications to Your Property

Any modification made to a property in Spain — swimming pool, extension, enclosure, increase in surface area, covered terrace, etc. — must be legalized before the sale.
If these changes are not regularized, they can cause problems during the selling process: blockage at the notary, inconsistencies with the Cadastre, municipal fines or even losing the buyer.

Legal Help handles all procedures related to the legalization of extensions, a process that is often long and complex, especially for non-residents.

Why Legalize Before Selling?

Spanish law requires that the actual condition of the property matches what is officially declared.
If additional constructions have not been declared, the administration will require their legalization. This includes:

• Legalization of swimming pools

• Declaration of extensions

• Regularization of enclosures and porches

• Updating the Cadastre and Town Hall records

• Complete management of all technical documentation

Legal Help manages each step efficiently and correctly, preventing fines, delays or complications during the sale.
