Certificado De Habitabilidad
 

Hi.
Can any one help.
Is it possible to acquire a certificado de habitabilidad for a rustic finca.
We live in Catalunya NE Spain.
If not, can you sell without one.

Yes and yes but with reservations.

1. Habitation licence for rustic finca - quite a lot of paperwork is required but it can be done

2. Sale with no habitation licence - you can sell without but obviously the price attained will be less (presumably you did?). I think you would have to sell it as a 'shed' rather than a vivienda though.

Poshnbucks do you know if the same thing is available for Huelva Province in Andalucia it seems to be very user friendly and you can do it online.

It might help a bit if you could explain why you (think) you need one?
Is this for a property you are selling? If so what has changed about the property from when you bought it?
Have you converted something that wasn't classed as a vivienda into a vivienda?
Or made alterations/added extensions to an existing house?
If so, did you do this with or without persmissions/building licences?

We were told by a Notary that to sell we needed one and that we would not get one for a Rustic Finca as we have no mains services.
When we bought in 2003,a Cetificado De Habilitidad was'nt needed then, the law has just been changed, I believe last year.

The property is registered on the deeds as a Masia and was built in 1997, recently we received a form 902s from BASA re-designating it as a vivienda.

OK, this seems to be a requirement peculiar to Catalunya.
Mains services (or rather the lack of) don't seem to preclude getting one

May be as well approaching some architects such as http://www.cedula-habitabilidad.com....tabilidad.html because this isn't something you seem to be able to obtain DIY.
