Your property in order. Your time back.

Since 1 July 2024 a new instruction fixes how often a community's lift is inspected, what the inspector may write and which upgrades an older lift must receive by fixed deadlines — one year for the communication device, the door curtain, the load control and the levelling; three to ten for the guides. Who books the inspection, what happens when a deadline passes, why the works need no vote, and a Caleta de Fuste block worked through, fund and levy included.

The flat you buy in a Spanish community answers for the fees the previous owners left unpaid — the year of the purchase and the three before it — and the certificate of debts the seller must hand the notary is the buyer's only protection. Who issues it and within what deadline, what it must say and why «up to date» is not «no levies pending», the seller's duties before and after the deed, the waiver buyers sign in a hurry, and how the certificate is requested from abroad.

One owner over seventy asks for a lift and the others do not want to pay. The Horizontal Property Act answers in three rules: accessibility works are obligatory without a vote up to one year of ordinary fees after public aid, a majority approves them above that cap, and the dissenter pays with everyone else. A worked example on a Corralejo building, the reserve fund and the levy, the State Plan grants the Canary Government opens, the regional tax deduction, and how we run the meeting.
