Anytime a property is bought in Tenerife, the buyer must take it on an as-is basis. This can make it challenging to recover damages if the property had illegal elements or hidden problems. Thus, it is essential that you take steps to verify that you are getting exactly what you expect when you buy. In order to learna the specifics of a Tenerife property, it is best to check with the cadaster as well as the registry.
Information contained in the cadaster is good for ascertaining the property's square meter size as well as the size of the lot. The cadaster details are available at no cost.
Information from the registry provides details about the property and helps you determine if any outstanding liabilities or fees are due in connection to the property.
The process for obtaining the registry details online, often referred to as the "Nota simple," involves paying roughly 9 euros. It is also possible to simply visit the local registry office in Tenerife to secure the information there, and this costs between 3 and 5 euros.
