Certificate of second occupancy

What is it?

When the housing is sold or transferred to the second or later owner, it is necessary to possess a license of the second or later occupancy. It is here where one could have been modified the initial state of the housing (reform of extension) without being authorized by the city Council and, in consequence, it is necessary to study every case to be able to know what situation we are to face.

In case of not requesting the License of Second Occupancy: The companies supplying the services of electricity, reparation, supply of water, telephone, etc., aren’t legally allowed to supply their services to the building.

On the other hand, in the new consolidated text of the Soil Protection Law it is established that properties will not be able to be notarizedor soldunless they possess license of first occupancy. It is a clear mechanism of protection to the consumer, aimed to preventthe selling or inhabitanceof housings that cannot obey the license or eventhose which could have to be demolished due to the mentioned default.
