What should you check before buying a country house in Osona?
Buying a masía in Osona is a legal, planning, technical and renovation decision – not just a question of finding a beautiful property. Before you commit, four areas need checking, and we handle all of them for you.
Legal and registral checks – nota simple, existing charges or mortgages, easements and rights of way, and any discrepancies between the Land Registry and Catastro.
Planning and permitted use – sòl no urbanitzable status, urban planning classification, and whether the property appears in the municipal catàleg de masies, which determines if and how it can be legally rehabilitated.
Condition and habitability – structural, roof, damp and installations inspections, the cèdula d'habitabilitat, and for Osona's inland, higher-altitude properties, checks on private water sources, exposure and winter conditions are especially important.
Renovation feasibility and cost – what can realistically be restored, planning conditions attached, and an initial view on cost.
Every check above forms part of our legal and planning checks service for buyers in Osona.
