Having spent many thousands of Euros on your new property in Spain insure this investment with our new build inspection services and be safe in the knowledge your property has be constructed and finished to the highest standards possible. Our qualified and experienced English inspector is trained to the highest level and are fully educated with the British Building Regulation Standards which are far higher then those in Spain to ensure your property is inspected thoroughly and professionally. Our inspector is fully aware of generic problems previously experienced to ensure rectification along with all your property defects. Legally, your developer is responsible for any major defect for the first 10 years after completion following an amendment to Spanish Building Standards legislation (Ley 38/1999 de 5 de noviembre sobre la Ordenacion de la Edificacion) on 6th May 2000. Beforehand it was a civil law matter as the developer was not legally bound to the 15 year warranty "responsibility" and any disputes would be settled in a court of law. Unfortunately this isn't quite as straight forward as it sounds. This warranty will only cover you for any major defect which could potentially endanger your health and safety. This insurance policy will be presented to the Notary by your developer upon completion and your personal reference number and details will be added to the Escritura. Thereafter, it is common for all new build properties to have an insurance policy covering all minor defects for the first year and all serious defects effecting habitability (utilities for example) for 3 years after completion. These are not compulsory obligations so we strongly recommend you check your developer's policy to make sure it meets these standard statutory requirements before completion. |
We offer two packages. Basic Snagging We will make contact with your developer and arrange an appointment to inspect your home. Our qualified inspector will visit, work in accordance with our check sheets and complete a detailed written and photographic report. A report is distributed within 48hrs to your developer, your solicitor, yourself and a copy retained in your property for when the remediation team visit. Where necessary it will be translated into Spanish. Once we are informed all works are complete we will re-visit your home once to ensure all work has been carried out to our high standard. Advanced Snagging Our "Advanced"; package includes all of the benefits included within the "Basic" package although introduces additional benefits essential when inspecting a new build property. We will re-visit your home as many times as necessary until your remediation is complete.
