At the bottom of the e-mail, we give another brief Corona update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do I start building in Spain? The very first step is to find a building plot. This is suddenly also a major pitfall. After all, you cannot build on any land, even if they advertise the plot as building land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, you should take into account the <strong>local building standards<\/strong>. So how many square metres of area are you allowed to build on? And what about the style requirements? Is a swimming pool possible?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.confianz.be\/en\/building-in-spain\/\">Here you will find explained what to look out for when buying a building plot.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After building land: the real work<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the land purchase is over, the real work can begin. An architect will draw up a design and take care of the permit application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will also appoint a contractor. Finding a reliable (foreign) contractor is not easy. Here, it is important that you proceed on the basis of <strong>references<\/strong>. And needless to say, a<strong> conclusive building contract <\/strong>essential. After all, we are talking about a long-term collaboration here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After completion, you will have to pass by the notary for the second time. New constructions should be registered in the Property Register and Land Registry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ten-year liability?  <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are building to use the property yourself, you are a so-called <em>Car promoter<\/em>. In that case, you are not obliged to take out 10-year liability insurance. However, you are obliged to inform prospective buyers that there is no ten-year liability insurance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Want to know more about building in Spain? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.confianz.be\/en\/building-yourself-in-spain-the-steps\/\">Here are the 8 steps of building a property in Spain.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Still on Corona<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday, the Spanish Parliament decided on the <strong>State of emergency to be extended until 26 April<\/strong>. If you need to go to the notary in Spain soon, we recommend two options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You change the deadline for execution of deed to, for example, end  <strong>lockdown + 45 days<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Either work with a notarised power of attorney with a Belgian notary. A Belgian notary who is proficient in the Spanish language can execute a Spanish-language power of attorney. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In new purchase agreements, it is also best to take corona measures into account.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nieuwsbrief april 2020 &#8211; Droomhuis bouwen in Spanje|Deze nieuwsbrief is er voor wie graag zelf zijn droomhuis wenst te bouwen.
