It is essential for selling the homes separately, dividing an inheritance or mortgaging just one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Typical cases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Two- or three-storey family buildings with one home per floor, registered as a single property.<\/li>\n\n<li>Houses with commercial premises or a garage on the ground floor and a home above.<\/li>\n\n<li>Groups of terraced houses or bungalows on a shared plot (known as \u201cpropiedad horizontal tumbada\u201d).<\/li>\n\n<li>Buildings where the owners want to <strong>split one home into two<\/strong> or join several together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What's needed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As well as the technical document, in many cases you need <strong>authorisation from the town hall<\/strong> (a horizontal division licence or a declaration that no licence is required), especially when the number of homes increases or it's a real-estate complex. The notary and the Land Registry require it before registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What our work includes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drawings of each floor showing the private and common elements.<\/li>\n\n<li>Usable and built areas of each element.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Ownership shares<\/strong> with their justification.<\/li>\n\n<li>Technical description ready for the deed.<\/li>\n\n<li>Processing of the licence and, if necessary, a <a href=\"\/en\/servicios\/certificado-de-antiguedad\/\">certificate of building age (certificado de antig\u00fcedad)<\/a> for what has been built.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does the building need to have a licence?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideally, yes. If it doesn't, we first need to see whether it can be registered on the basis of its age or whether we have to <a href=\"\/en\/servicios\/legalizacion-de-obras\/\">legalised<\/a>. We look at this at the start so no time is wasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How are the shares calculated?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the Ley de Propiedad Horizontal (Horizontal Property Act), according to the usable area of each element, its location and its use of the common services.
