What should you check before buying a country house in the province of Tarragona?
Buying a country house in the province of Tarragona is a legal, planning, technical and renovation decision, not simply a matter of finding a beautiful property. Before committing, there are four aspects you should check, and we handle all of them on your behalf.
Legal and registry checks: nota simple, charges and mortgages, easements and rights of way, and any discrepancies between the Land Registry and the Cadastre.
Planning and permitted use: the «suelo no urbanizable» classification, planning status and the municipal «catàleg de masies», which determines whether a property can be legally renovated and in what way. Planning rules vary considerably between comarques, particularly when a property falls within a protected natural area.
Condition and habitability: structural, roof, damp and services inspections; the cèdula d'habitabilitat; and checks on water supply, wells, drainage and flood risk.
Renovation feasibility and cost: what can realistically be restored, under what conditions and at what cost.
The legal and planning situation of each country house depends on its specific comarca and municipality; see our legal and planning checks service for a full breakdown.
