Legalizing housing on rural land in Malaga

Your home for life.

We are your architectural firm for legalizing your house built on rural land without permits. As architects, we will consult the municipal regulations, which will determine whether or not the house can be legalized, and we will prepare a technical project for your property, known as a Legalization File.

We can legalize your home as long as it meets a series of requirements, especially that it complies with the urban planning regulations of the municipality and with the Technical Building Code (CTE).

The Spanish Penal Code, in its article 319, imposes prison sentences of 1 to 3 years and fines of 12 to 24 months on those who carry out unauthorized construction work on non-urbanizable land.

They may even force you to demolish your own construction and restore the land to its natural state, so it is not advisable to have your house in this situation.

At Fran Ruiz Arquitectos we will do everything in our power to help you enjoy your home in the shortest possible time, with greater peace of mind and everything properly regulated.

Projects that speak for themselves

Obtain your building permit for a building on rural land in Malaga

If you find yourself in this situation, even if you did not obtain your license at the appropriate time, the house may still be eligible for authorization. The steps to follow to legalize the status of your house are those we explain below:

We advise you on how to process the license.
We will check with the relevant town hall regarding the required documentation. Most likely, they will require floor plans of the house, as well as a technical project for its legalization.
We submitted the application for the legalization license to the corresponding town hall to present all the documentation required by it.

Once we have submitted all the required documentation, we will have to wait a period of time to be informed whether the result is positive or negative.
You will have to pay the fees to the town hall; these are always calculated according to the budget included in the legalization file project.
Once you have the license, you will need to go to a notary to register the property.

What requirements do I need to legalize my house?

That the house was built more than 6 years ago.
That the construction or installation works do not invade public areas or their easement areas.

What is the purpose of legalizing my house?

When a property lacks the necessary documentation, that property simply doesn’t exist. If your house doesn’t legally exist, this will have a series of consequences that you should be aware of due to their importance:

The overall value of the land will be considerably lower.
No bank will give a mortgage to an interested buyer.
You may not carry out any improvement work on the building.
The building is not registered in the Property Registry, so your potential buyer will be wary of investing in your land.
In order to sell the house, there is no other way than to legalize it.
You will not be able to rent your house.
You will not be able to apply for house rehabilitation aid if your home is not legally registered.

What do I get if I legalize my house?

Security.
Certainty before the law and that the building is in his name.
An increase in the value of your house and land.
You will be able to negotiate calmly with the buyer.
Being able to sell your house to a third party and have the bank give you a mortgage.
