Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Legality Label rating?

Legality Label (Análisis de Riesgos Urbanísticos) is a standardized urban planning risk assessment used in Spain. It rates properties from A1 (fully legal, fully compliant) to E (illegal, active enforcement risk). The rating considers both the legal status of constructions and their compliance with current zoning plans.

Why do I need this check?

In Spain, many properties have hidden legal issues — illegal extensions, unpermitted pools, or non-compliance with zoning plans. These can affect your insurance coverage, ability to reconstruct after a disaster, resale value, and even result in demolition orders or fines. Most estate agents and lawyers don't proactively check this.

Is this preliminary check accurate?

This is a preliminary indication based on 2 key questions about legal status and urban planning compliance. For a verified, legally defensible assessment, a professional architect must conduct a full Legality Label review including cadastral verification, aerial photography analysis, and local regulation checks.

What documents prove my property is legal?

Key documents include: Licencia de Obra (building license), Nota Simple (property register extract), Certificado de Antigüedad (age certificate), and Escritura Pública (public deed). If your lawyer or estate agent cannot provide these, that itself is a warning sign.

What happens if my property scores B or worse?

A score of B or worse means there are legalizable or illegal elements. This doesn't mean you must sell — many issues can be resolved through legalization processes. A professional Legality Label assessment will identify exactly what needs to be done, the costs involved, and the path to achieving an A1 classification.
