Antiquity Certificate

Technical Certificates Attesting the Antiquity of Buildings in Spain

Architect Daniel Trujillano provides technical certificates attesting the antiquity of buildings and constructions in Spain. If a construction, building or facility was illegally built but the time frame in which it was legally possible to adopt restoring actions which could imply demolition is finished, then it will be possible to declare the completed construction. Among the documents which can be used to enter a new Title Deed in the Register of the Property are the certificates stating the completion of works on specified date.

Prescription Time Frame

The applicable time frame in which the Administration may act against illegal constructions by ordering demolition is determined by regional legislation. In the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, this time frame is currently six years since the full completion of the works; in the Community of Madrid, on the other hand, the time frame is four years.

Documents Attesting the Antiquity

Antiquity Certificates of buildings must contain justification for the estimation of the age, which must be based on the use of documents as evidence. These documents must be provided together with the certificate, and can be:

• dated aerial photographs
• urban planning documents, in which the building is clearly rendered
• contracts for supplies, like water, electricity or telecommunications
• cadastral certifications.

Georeferencing

If required, the certificate may include a Georeferencing Section to identify the piece of land where the building is located and / or the occupied portion of land, using an alternative georeferenced graphical representation in GML INSPIRE format, in accordance with the resolutions of the General Directorate of Land Registry and DGRN.

Architects' Association and Geographical Coverage

According to Spanish R. D. 1000/2010, Antiquity Certificates don't require endorsement by the Architects' Association, but the client may request it voluntarily, if he considers it appropriate or necessary. To this end, Architect Daniel Trujillano is enabled to obtain the endorsement for his Certificates in any of the Architects' Associations in Spain. In addition, the guarantee of his liability insurance allows him to extend his professional activities throughout the whole Spanish territory.
