A report by Benno Bühler, architect and building expert
In Andalusia, until the early 2000s, it was common to build a property without planning permission and then pay a penalty. So why ask big when it’s better to apologize afterwards. Punishment was cheaper than a proper building permit process.
We are often called in for the handover of new buildings. Here, we inspect the newly completed property, together with the buyer, and draw up an inspection report with a list of defects. When buying real estate directly from a developer, warranty periods that are sometimes different to the usual ones for construction may apply.
