Out of order is not out of reach. We legalize your asset or sell it with the strongest legal shielding in the market.
On the Costa del Sol, thousands of homes have constructions without license, undeclared extensions, or open urban discipline files. Selling without resolving it correctly can constitute a fraud crime. With our technical management, you sell safely and maximize value.
Urban Discipline Glossary
Before making any decision, it is fundamental to understand in what legal category your construction falls.
Urban Infraction
Acto u omisión que vulnera la normativa urbanística. Se clasifica en leves (fachadas), graves (obras sin licencia) y muy graves (suelo no urbanizable). El plazo de prescripción varía según la gravedad y la comunidad autónoma.
Prescription
La acción de la Administración para ordenar el restablecimiento de la legalidad se extingue por el paso del tiempo. En Andalucía, la Ley LISTA (2021) fija el plazo general en 6 years since total completion of works.
AFO (Similar to Out of Order)
Administrative recognition of a prescribed illegal construction. The construction is not legalized (still out of order), but its legal existence is recognized to access supplies and certain notarial acts. Regulated in Andalusia.
Imprescriptible Zones
Infringements on special protection soils (environmental, landscape, cultural), green zones and free spaces never prescribe. Demolition orders are perpetual in these cases.
Steps to Legalize or Sell an Out of Order Property
Urban Situation Audit
We analyze the complete administrative file in the Town Hall and APLU. We verify the age of the construction, the type of soil, and if prescription deadlines have passed. We determine if there is a real risk of demolition.
With the LISTA Law of Andalusia (2021), many old files may have expired administratively without the owner knowing.
Regularization via AFO (if applicable)
If the infraction is prescribed, we process the Certificate of Recognition of Similar to Out of Order before the Town Hall. This does not segregate the land nor legalize the work, but gives the building recognized legal identity.
With AFO, the home can access official supplies (water, light) and some funders may accept it as mortgage collateral.
Transfer with Total Legal Transparency
We draft the specific notarial protocol for this type of sale. The buyer must expressly declare that they know the urban situation of the construction, releasing the seller from liability for hidden defects and eliminating criminal fraud risk.
Our network of buyers specialized in assets with this casuistry allows closing the operation at the best possible price.
