What is the Housing Age Certificate?
The Certificate of Housing Antiquity or Old New property certificate is a document that provides information about the date of construction of a property and the current state. It is essential to know the history and legality of the property. In Murcia, this certificate is useful in various situations, such as the sale of a property or any transfer, such as an inheritance, for example.
Differences between the Certificate of Housing Antiquity, the Certificate of Old New Construction, the Certificate of Completion of Housing and the Certificate of Completion of Construction.
It is a bit of a mess because of the variety of names and also all the documents look very similar even for Spaniards. I can not imagine for foreigners! but let’s shed some light to it:
- Certificado de Antigüedad de Vivienda or Certificate of Antiquity: This document indicates the original construction date of the property. It is necessary to verify the age of the property and it usually mentions the characteristics of the building.
- Certificado de Obra Nueva Antigua or Certificate of old new house: Very similar to the previous one. This certificate is issued when a property is new (it is not registered administratively speaking) but some time has passed since its construction. It is used to update the nota simple or property deeds and register it with its current characteristics.
- Certificado final de obra or Housing Completion Certificate: Traditionally, this is a certificate that certifies that a building has been fully completed. Nowadays it can also be used to certify the completion of a building that was finished years ago and was not properly finished from the administrative point of view.
- Acta Final de Obra or Minute of finalization of works : This is similar to the certificate of completion. Very similar, it is now the name it has when we want to administratively ‘finish’ a building that is listed as ‘under construction’ in the nota simple or other documents.
How Much Can a Certificate of Home Ageing Cost?
The price of a home age certificate or similar varies as you can imagine. The location of the property, the size of the property and the professional who carries out the process.
We can’t give you an approximate price, because at the moment it depends on the state of each building, the time and technical problems that a certificate of this kind can have.
