A Cedula is a certificate required by Spanish law aimed at controlling conditions relating to health and safety in any building to be used for housing.
In the past, a Cedula was not always used or necessary when buying property. You might have even purchased property recently without a Cedula, but you might have problems in the future when it comes time to re-sell. Casamona will always make sure the seller has a Cedula. If not, the flat will be sold as "non residential" real estate.
A Certificate of Occupancy is essential in Spain in the following circumstances: Letting or selling a property destined for housing purposes, new buildings, new renovated buildings, to contract/open vital services (water, gas and electricity).
To apply for a license or certificate you need to fill in a form. Click here for more information about Cedula.
It is essential in order to be able to contract water, electricity, and gas supplies and is valid for 15 years. It is a law that all buildings used for housing must have a Certificate of Occupancy. This ensures that they meet the minimum requirements needed for a building to be habitable (new buildings, renovated buildings etc.) But many do not have it.
