Frequently asked questions

Before dividing.

What does dividing a home mean?

+
It means splitting a flat, house or commercial unit into several independent units, each with its own access, services and registration with the Land Registry.

Can a flat be split into two in Almería?

+
It depends on what planning allows, on the owners' association's authorisation and on the two resulting homes meeting habitability, access and independent services. We check it before commissioning the project with a feasibility study.

Do you need the owners' association's permission?

+
Generally, yes: the Horizontal Property Law requires authorisation from the owners' meeting to divide a flat or commercial unit, unless the bylaws already allow it.

What licence is needed to divide a home?

+
You need a technical project signed by an architect and a licence from the town hall. We tell you which procedure applies in your case.

Do you also handle the works?

+
Yes. We draw up the project, process the licence and manage the works through to the completion certificate. If the property is a commercial unit, we combine it with the change of use.
