Compra
sobre plano in Spanish means buying off plan in English. This is when a property
is purchased before it has been built and when there are only written plans in
existence
The Developer or Estate Agent must provide
the following information:
- The registration details
of the building contractor on the Official Commercial Register
- Detailed
plans of the property
- Instructions on the use and
maintenance of facilities
- A report on the quality
of building materials to be used
- The final price
and ways of paying
It is important to keep
any advertising leaflets or brochures about the property in construction.
The developer is obliged to fulfil all promises made through advertising. The
information from the advertising could be very useful if at a later stage you
want to make a complaint either informally or formally through the courts.
Important:
If you are going to buy a property which is still at planning stage remember to
sign a private sale contract with the developer which gives you the chance to
ask for modifications or improvements. If you do not sign a contract which includes
this you will have to wait until construction has been completed and the property
has been formally handed over before you can get them done.
