Real Estate Agents in Spain.
In Spain, at present there is no law that specifically regulates the real estate profession, which includes not only estate agents, but developers, builders, lawyers, profiteers. This was not always the case, as many years ago in Spain there was a law that allowed only suitably qualified people to sell Spanish property. Requirements to enter the profession included having a university degree along with a diploma granted only after the successful completion of the appropriate real estate course and membership of the professional association API. The profession was, just that Professional, architects and lawyers, all with the required diplomas formed part of the profession. The law made it illegal for people who did not have a real estate agents title and did not belong to the professional association to sell Spanish property.

As Spain became more integrated into the European Union and more foreigners moved into Spain, the laws governing the real estate profession and the professional qualifications were either abolished or reformed, leading to the situation that exists  today where practically anyone can be an ‘estate agent’, no educational qualifications required, no experience required, no training required.

Spain now has the exact reverse of the norm expected in many civilised countries in respect of the real estate profession – total deregulation- and although there are many honest, reputable and responsible real estate agents, there too exists a breed of unqualified, unscrupulous, unprofessional and unregulated estate agents, property intermediaries and developers. Such an unregulated ‘free for all’ leads to little or no protection to the public at large when buying a Spanish property through such an intermediary.

» Check whether the intermediary you intend to use is registered

» Check whether the intermediary you intend to use is insured for at least public indemnity and professional liability

» Check whether the intermediary you intend to use is financially solvent

Planning Permissions.
Whether you are  about to buy a newly constructed property or you are considering purchasing a property that requires renovation or wish to purchase land upon which to build- several matters have to be considered in respect of planning decisions already made or planning applications that will need to be lodged. The most important issue for you is to NOT sign any documentation whatsoever until you have explored the options available.
In general, in Spain,  there are three types of land classifications:

» Urbano -land with permission to construct  upon which you would have a legal dwelling subject to receipt of Licencia de Primera Ocupación - see below
» Urbanizable – land that may be urbanised for development and once urbanised upon which you would have a legal development -  subject to receipt of Licencia de Primera Ocupación
» No urbanizable – land that is non constructible.
Once it is confirmed that you are purchasing the type of land that you require you will need to submit a dossier to the relevant authorities for your project. This should be dealt with by a competent authority as planning issues in Spain are complex and can easily be misinterpreted.
To protect yourself NEVER sign a contract to purchase a property whether in a rural or urban environment until you have had the land title checked out.
