Works without licenses in homes, what can happen to you?
Do not even think about it. If you are thinking of carrying out any reform at home, however small it may be, always bear in mind this article: it is totally forbidden to carry out works without licenses. Otherwise the works can be large and support more than a headache.There is a phrase that is very tight that is still true and is that "ignorance of the law does not exempt you from fulfilling it." It is clear that installing an air conditioner is not the same as throwing the whole house down and reforming it completely. Normally for the first thing it is not necessary to ask for permission to place the exterior device on the facade of the building, although sometimes yes if the facade is protected or we speak of a property with special characteristics.It is important that you know that there is a concept called "buildable", which are the m2 that we can build. If you pass, you can face a fine of 15-25% of its excess value. For example, if you have a home and you have spent 40m2 extending the house, the penalty may be an extra cost of 5,000 euros.The distances to boundaries is another issue that you must take into account. You do not know what it is? They are ultimately the minimum distances to other buildings, to free spaces, to public roads ... where you can add another 20% more extra. There are also works in buildings outside of ordination considered as such because they are not compatible with the planning but that can not be demolished because they have prescribed the infraction. Here the fines range between 10-15% of the value of what has been done. Imagine that you decide to demolish a cataloged building, here the reforms could get even more expensive and can add a fine of twice the value of the destroyed.Works that do not require a licenseOf course if you are going to do a work that involves throwing walls and you are going to cause discomfort to neighbors and debris, it is normal to ask for a license from the town hall, but it is true that in other cases there are works considered minor that are not obligatory at the time to demand a license to carry them out.We talk about unlicensed works such as window changes, railings, blinds. installation of plumbing, electricity or heating, soldiers, tiling, plaster or, also, the replacement of own facilities. Even the installation of air conditioning or for example installing an awning. Although the issue of air always needs to be better consulted with the President, President or Administrator of appropriate Farms. Great care!
