The Hidden Risks After Completing Your Home Purchase
⚠️ Risk 1: Inheriting Water Debts
By law, water debt is tied to the property, not the person. If the previous owner owed €500, the company can claim it from you. Failing to perform proper due diligence or verify the absence of debts is a common pitfall.
Cost of error: Up to €800 in debts + reconnection fees.
⚠️ Risk 2: Expired Electrical Bulletin
When requesting the electricity ownership transfer, the utility company may require a new Electrical Bulletin (CIE) if the current one is over 20 years old. This means finding a technician, paying for the certificate, and in the meantime, you cannot activate the supply.
Cost of error: €150-€250 for the new bulletin + weeks of delay.
⚠️ Risk 3: Penalties for IBI Tax
The notary does not notify the City Council. It is your legal obligation to notify the Cadastre of the change of ownership. If you don't, the IBI tax will remain in the seller's name, and you could face surcharges and interest for non-payment of a tax you didn't know you owed.
Cost of error: 20% surcharge on the IBI + tax issues.
Your Protective Shield; Post-Completion: Security and Peace of Mind
Anti-Debt Audit
Before any procedure, we investigate. We request zero-debt certificates to ensure you don't inherit a single cent of debt from water, IBI, or community fees. It's the first step for a safe ownership transfer.
Comprehensive 360° Management
We handle EVERYTHING: electricity, water, gas, and the crucial notification to the Cadastre and City Council for the IBI and waste collection tax. Forget about calls, confusing websites, and office visits.
Technical and Legal Verification
We check that the Electrical Bulletin is valid and that the gas installation has passed its inspection. Our legal team verifies that all documents are in order to avoid surprises.
Confirmation and Closing
We don't finish until you receive official confirmation from each company and administration in your email. We provide a final dossier with all contracts and taxes in your name, clean and active.
The Peace of Mind of Those Who Have Delegated
"I was about to inherit a €450 water debt from the previous owner. I assumed it was cleared with the sale. They saved me from a bad start and an expense that wasn't mine. Essential."
- Carlos R., new homeowner in Madrid
"As a seller, my biggest fear was that the new owner wouldn't do the utility transfer and I would receive their bills. They gave me complete peace of mind by confirming that my name was no longer on any contract or on the IBI for my old house."
- Lucía G., seller in Alicante
