Property inspection before arras
Found a property on the Costa Blanca or in Valencia and about to sign arras? The deposit is typically 10% of the price, and getting it back if problems with the property come to light after signing can be difficult. Before you sign, we check what you are actually buying. What is included in €99: • fresh property registry extract (Nota Simple) — we order it ourselves, no separate charge to you • cross-checking the listing against the cadastre and property documents • discrepancies in ownership, area, and registration • urban planning and utility matters • list of questions for the seller or agent and steps before signing the arras The report arrives by email within 24 business hours of the registry extract being received. No additional charges. What we need from you: a link to the listing, the exact address or cadastral reference number (referencia catastral; sometimes the finca / CRU number is needed to order a Nota Simple) and an email address. Documents from the seller are optional. We cover the Valencia and Alicante provinces. This is a document and risk check, not a legal opinion or a structural survey of the building. The report is prepared with AI assistance; every conclusion is reviewed by a person.
