Building Permission
The good news is that when buying properties for renovation in Spain, it
is easier and quicker to obtain planning permission than if you were planning
to build a new house from scratch. Major renovation to properties does require
permission from the local ayuntamiento (town council) - you will need to
present plans drawn up by an architect and have these approved by the local
council. Minor, internal improvements do not, on the whole, require planning
permission though it is usually a good idea to get an architect or structural
surveyor to approve and oversee the work.
