To navigate this process, you\u2019ll need to be aware of a number of key issues that will make it easier for you to acquire urban land.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">By taking into account land registry, zoning, and property registration issues, you can choose a plot of land with the full legal certainty and security the situation requires. So, if you\u2019re thinking about buying land to build your dream home or business, here\u2019s everything you need to know.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>6 Things to Consider Before Buying or Selling Urban Land<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Alvorens de koopovereenkomst voor een perceel in de bebouwde kom te sluiten, moet de potenti\u00eble koper rekening houden met een aantal technische en juridische aspecten. Allereerst moet worden nagegaan of het daadwerkelijk om bouwgrond gaat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is necessary to inspect and analyze the land\u2019s cadastral and registration status, as well as the infrastructure, budgets, administrative expenses, and regulatory documentation of the contracting parties.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-33552 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/registro-de-la-propiedad.jpg\" alt=\"land registry\" width=\"1280\" height=\"783\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>1. Registration-related matters<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Before proceeding with a real estate transaction, it is necessary to check the property\u2019s or land\u2019s registration status. You can do this by requesting a simple copy from your local land registry.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Make sure you know the name of the landowner.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Make sure there are no issues with the property. It is important that there are no mortgage liens or liens on the land.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Confirm that there are no building restrictions on the lot.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This ensures that the property is free of encumbrances and suitable for residential construction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>2. Cadastral aspects<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Visit the land registry website to verify the status or area of the property. Before finalizing any type of sale involving urban land, you must also request the relevant land registry certificate. There, you can verify details such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>A graphical description of the terrain.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Land area and location.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Owners of the properties adjacent to the lot.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This way, you can verify that the information you have is accurate and matches the property deeds.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>3. Urban planning issues<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">The visit to the <span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alicante.es\/es\/tramites\" target=\"_self\">city hall<\/a> <\/span>is essential for reviewing the urban regulations governing the property you wish to purchase. Here you can find out about the type of land you want to buy and whether it is suitable for building homes or businesses.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Under Spanish law, land is designated for different permitted uses. This will help you determine whether the land is zoned for residential use, development, or non-development. You should also verify the status of the property\u2019s municipal tax payments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>4. Planning and buildability considerations<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are regulations that must be followed when building on urban land. Local ordinances establish the maximum allowable land coverage for construction. In this way, the city government uses these regulations to ensure that the building\u2019s design does not disrupt the community. Make sure that the planning documents comply with current regulations.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>5. Administrative expenses \u2013 Sales of urban land<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-33557 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/gastos-administrativos.jpg\" alt=\"Administrative expenses - Sales of urban land\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">In addition, purchasing a plot of land involves other types of expenses. In addition to the costs associated with the sale, you will need to account for administrative expenses. In addition to the notary fees for the deed of sale, you must pay the fees for the <a href=\"https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/en\/advice-on-real-estate-law-and-construction\/\" target=\"_self\">property registry<\/a> and settle other types of taxes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>6. Operational and representation aspects as part of the process<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For the purposes of the sale, both parties (buyer and seller) must have a Foreigner Identification Number (NIE). This is required for the registration of the deed in the property registry. If the purchase is made by a legal entity, the parties must have a marital property regime in place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Similarly, it is essential to determine whether the parties are acting on their own behalf or through an attorney-in-fact with a power of attorney. In addition, it is necessary to have on hand the sellers\u2019 tax residence and military clearance if the buyer is not a Spanish national.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For all these reasons, it is extremely important to consult qualified and experienced professionals when buying or selling urban land.
