Client reviews
Collected directly from clients before the Google Business Profile was opened.
I have been working with Rafael for some time on energy certificates and habitability licences for my clients. Fast, punctual and fixed pricing with no surprises. Exactly what an estate agency needs.
He handled the energy certificate and the occupancy licence at the same time. One technician for everything, no need to coordinate anyone else. I recommend him without hesitation.
Fast and very professional service. He explained the whole process clearly and I had the paperwork in under 48 hours.
§ 07 — FAQ
Common questions
If yours is not here, message me on WhatsApp.
Does the tenant or owner need to be present during the visit?
Not essential. Access to the property is enough. You can leave me the keys or coordinate with the tenant directly. The visit takes 30–45 minutes.
What if my flat gets a G rating?
The certificate is issued regardless. G is the most common rating in pre-1990 buildings in this area. It does not prevent sale or rental. The report includes improvement recommendations should you want to upgrade later.
Are there town-hall fees for the habitability certificate?
Municipal fees are separate: if the town hall charges a fee, the client pays it. My fee for a flat up to 150 m² is €150 + VAT and I confirm the total before starting.
Can I rent out my flat without an energy certificate?
Not legally. The certificate is mandatory to sign any rental contract. Without it the contract can be challenged and the owner risks fines. It has been required across Spain since 2013.
Are the energy certificate and the habitability certificate the same thing?
No. They are two different documents. The energy certificate rates efficiency (A–G) and is mandatory for sale or rental. The habitability certificate (declaración responsable de segunda ocupación) certifies that a used home meets the habitability conditions and is required in the Valencian Community for utility connections and changes of holder. Many owners need both.
Do you work with foreign owners who don’t speak Spanish?
Yes. I work in Spanish and English, and reports are delivered in Spanish and English. Working with Dutch, British and German owners is routine in the Marina Alta.
How long until I receive the certificate after the visit?
48 to 72 hours after the visit.
Can I order the EPC and the habitability certificate together?
Yes, and it is the most common option. One visit and one architect for both documents. The price is the sum of the two: from €285 + VAT for a flat and from €350 + VAT for a house.
Can I rent my home on Airbnb without a tourist licence?
Not legally. Any home listed on platforms (Airbnb, Booking, etc.) must display its VT tourist registration number. Without it the listing can be removed and the owner fined up to €60,000. I handle the full procedure: CCU at the town hall and EGVT at the Valencian Government.
Does the energy certificate price include VAT?
No. All prices are published + VAT (21 %): €135 + VAT for a flat up to 200 m², €150 + VAT for a flat from 201 to 300 m², €150 + VAT for a detached house up to 200 m² and €180 + VAT for a detached house from 201 to 300 m². The registration fee is included.
Does the tourist rental licence price include VAT?
No. The feasibility study (€150), the processing for an independent dwelling (€500) and for a dwelling in a community (€650) are published excluding VAT, so 21 % must be added: €181.50, €605 and €786.50 respectively. Municipal and regional fees are paid separately.
What is the final price including VAT?
All prices are published excluding VAT, so 21 % must be added. Examples: energy certificate for a flat up to 200 m², €135 + VAT = €163.35. Habitability certificate for a flat up to 150 m², €150 + VAT = €181.50. Planning report, €350 + VAT = €423.50. Basic pre-purchase survey for a flat, €395 + VAT = €477.95. Municipal fees are not included.
Do you deliver the pre-purchase survey in English?
Yes. The report is delivered in Spanish and English at no extra cost. The pre-purchase survey is standard practice in the UK and the Netherlands; here I offer it explicitly.
Do you work with real estate agencies?
Yes. Specific rates and terms for agencies with regular volume: energy certificates, furnished commercial floor plans, habitability certificates and renders. Contact me on WhatsApp to arrange the agency-pack conditions.
