These are important to certify that the parcel is really what its documentation indicates and that there are no falsified data. These are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%93_Requesting_a_nota_simple_at_the_Land_Registry_Office\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8211; Requesting a nota simple at the Land Registry Office<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This type of note verifies who the real owner of the parcel is. The person who sells it must be the person who appears as the owner of the land in this document. It will also let you know if the land has no debts. This note is requested at the <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.e-registros.es\/registro-de-la-propiedad-de-alicante\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Land Registry of Alicante<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%93_Ask_for_the_%E2%80%9Ccadastral_status%E2%80%9D_at_the_Cadastres_headquarters_or_on_its_website\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8211; Ask for the &#8220;cadastral status&#8221; at the Cadastre&#8217;s headquarters or on its website:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This certificate can be of 2 kinds. One of them informs the field data related to the economic, legal and physical fields<strong>(descriptive and graphic certificates<\/strong>). The second type of document<strong>(literal certificate<\/strong>) contains data such as ownership, location, area and cadastral reference, among other things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What must be taken into account is that the information found both in the nota simple and in the cadastral statement coincides with what is indicated in the deed. In turn, it is necessary to contrast both documents with each other to verify that the information described in them also coincides.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_taxes\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Check taxes<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once the above documents have been reviewed and contrasted with what is in the deed, it is time to check other issues. Municipal taxes is one of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is important to verify if the last IBI receipt has been paid. If you do not have this at hand, it is possible to go to the town hall of the municipality and verify that it does not have any debt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You should also <strong>pay attention to the taxes<\/strong> that you will have to pay when making the purchase. VAT and ITP (property transfer tax) are some of them. This will allow you to know exactly how much you will have to pay when you sign the deed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that you will also have to cover <strong>notary and agency<\/strong> fees. Both fees are imposed by the State and are related to validating that there is a <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbleon-abogados.com\/?s=comprar\">sale transaction<\/a> between 2 persons and that it is legal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_legal_issues\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Other legal issues<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Not only the tax burdens must be up to date to avoid problems when buying the land of your dreams. It is also necessary to be certain, from a legal point of view, that everything is in order.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is necessary to request the deed from the first moment and to have the data of the seller of the plot. This way you will be sure that all your documentation is legal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You should also corroborate other issues:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If the soil is suitable for the work you have in mind.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If the plans match the description of the land shown on the deed.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Whether the land is classified as &#8220;urban&#8221;, &#8220;urbanizable&#8221; or &#8220;non-urbanizable&#8221;. This is determined by the urban classification of the plot.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If the subsoil of the plot is in a condition to support a construction.
