ENERGY CERTIFICATE
The energy certificate in Mallorca, also known as the “Certificado de eficiencia energética”, is an essential document for renting or selling property on the island. This certificate is valid for 10 years, after which it must be renewed. It is essential that the energy certificate is available in a valid form in order to carry out the notarization of a property sale. Without a current certificate, the sale of the property cannot be legally completed.
We take over the communication with the energy consultant and discuss all the necessary information in detail. Our service covers both apartments and houses of all types and sizes. Rely on our professional support to ensure that your energy certificate complies with current requirements, enabling smooth transactions for your property.
Price: 249,00 € per apartment / house
CERTIFICATE OF HABITABILITY
The certificate of habitability, known in Spain as the “Cédula de habitabilidad”, is a crucial document that confirms the habitability of a property and ensures that it meets certain minimum standards. These include specified sizes, sanitary facilities and the necessary basic technical equipment. The “Cédula” is required in particular for the initial application for electricity and/or water connections. With a validity period of 10 years, it then requires renewal. Although a valid certificate of habitability is recommended for the notarization of a property sale, it is not mandatory.
Types of habitability certificate:
- First certificate: Cédula de habitabilidad de primera ocupación This certificate is required for new buildings and must also be applied for if a change of use or a major construction project is planned. The building permit must be presented. It is only issued after the final building inspection (Certificado final de obra) by the responsible municipality in Mallorca. The Certificación municipal de finalización de obra (CFO) is also required.
- Subsequent certificates: Cédula de habitabilidad de renovación After the expiry date, the certificate of habitability must be renewed. The application requires recent photos of the property and written confirmation from an architect that no changes have been made to the property.
- For properties built before 1987: Cédula de habitabilidad por carencia For properties that were built before March 1, 1987 and have never received a certificate of habitability in Mallorca, there is a simplified application procedure. This requires the “Certificado de situación urbanística” from the municipality, which proves that the property was built before the deadline, that no structural changes have been made since then and that no proceedings have been initiated against the previous owners for building violations.”
The following documents are required for the application:
Applying for a cédula in an urban area
- Copy of the purchase deed or extract from the land register (nota simple)
- Copy of the expired cédula (if available)
- Copy of the last electricity or water bill
Applying for a first cédula in a rural area (Rústico)
- Copy of the purchase deed or extract from the land register (nota simple)
- Certificate “Certificado de antegüidad” (can be obtained from the responsible Ajuntament)
- Copy of the last electricity or water bill
We will arrange an appointment for you and discuss all the necessary documents so that the Cedula can be issued.
Price: 249,00 € per Cedula
