\n⚠️ Do you live in a protected building in Barcelona?<\/h2>\n
Not all renovations in Barcelona follow the same process. If your property is located in a district with high historical value, the Barcelona City Council<\/strong> applies much stricter urban regulations:<\/p>\n
- \n
- \u2022<\/span>
\nL’Eixample:<\/strong> The district with the most iconic fincas regias<\/em> and Catalan vaulted ceilings (volta catalana). Any layout modification or restoration of original features usually requires a detailed technical report.<\/li>\n- \u2022<\/span>
\nCiutat Vella (Gothic, Raval, Born):<\/strong> Due to the buildings’ age and narrow streets, debris logistics are complex, and structural control is strictly enforced to ensure safety.<\/li>\n- \u2022<\/span>
\nGr\u00e0cia:<\/strong> Many properties are listed as heritage sites. Even simple window replacements may require a specific license if they affect the building\u2019s protected facade.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nExpert Tip:<\/strong> Before applying for your Assabentat<\/em>, we check your property’s Cadastral Reference<\/strong> to confirm if the building has any level of protection (Level A, B, or C). This prevents unexpected fines and administrative delays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n📋 Required Documentation: What should you have ready?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\nTo allow us to start the procedures with the Barcelona City Council today, we will need you to provide the following documents:<\/span><\/div>\n- \n
- Owner’s ID\/NIE:<\/strong> Copy of both sides.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Property Deeds or “Nota Simple”:<\/strong> To prove ownership of the property.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Cadastral Reference:<\/strong> You can find it on your latest IBI (property tax) receipt.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Latest IBI Receipt:<\/strong> Required to verify census data.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Signed Authorization:<\/strong> A simple document authorizing A. Barcelona Reformas s.l.<\/strong> <\/a>to act on your behalf at the Electronic Office.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Current Floor Plan (if available):<\/strong> Helps our technical team speed up the quote and project.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
