Common Legal Issues When Buying in Tosalet

Property purchases in Tosalet can present specific challenges that an experienced local lawyer will anticipate:

Illegal building works: Extensions, enclosed terraces or pool constructions done without a licence. We check the planning history of every property.

Outstanding debts: Unpaid community fees, IBI (council tax) or utility bills that transfer to the new owner. We verify all debts before you commit.

Discrepancies in area: The registered size may differ from the actual built area (diferencia de cabida). This must be corrected before or at the time of purchase.

Community of owners issues: Financial problems, pending legal actions, or planned special assessments (derramas) in the community. We review the latest AGM minutes and financial statements.

Coastal protection zones: Properties near the coast may be affected by the Ley de Costas. We verify there are no restrictions on your intended use.

Most Tosalet roads are private and maintained by the Entidad de Conservación. Annual fees can exceed €2,000, so we confirm the current fee and any pending levies before completion.
