What should you check before buying a country house in La Selva?

Buying a masía in La Selva 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, charges and mortgages, easements and rights of way, discrepancies between the Land Registry and Catastro, and confirmation of ownership.

• Planning and permitted use – the municipal catàleg de masies, which determines whether and how a property can legally be rehabilitated, alongside its urban planning status (often suelo no urbanizable) and permitted uses. Part of La Selva falls within the Montseny Natural Park, where rehabilitation of rural buildings is subject to additional planning restrictions.

• Condition and habitability – structural, roof, damp and installation inspections, the cèdula d'habitabilitat, and checks on water supply, wells, drainage and flood risk.

• Renovation feasibility and cost – what can realistically be restored, the conditions attached, and an early view of cost.
