Common problem

I need to accredit the consolidated use of a property

Property with consolidated use in its surroundings

The short answer

To accredit a uso consolidado (consolidated use) you must demonstrate with evidence what use the building has, since when that use has existed and in what conditions it takes place. A technical report documents that reality objectively; the administrative recognition of the use, when necessary, belongs to the Administration according to the applicable planning regulations.

Possible causes

  • 01The real use of the property does not match the one in the documentation.
  • 02An administration or a procedure asks for accreditation of the consolidated use.
  • 03Sales or regularisations in which the current use must be documented.
  • 04Uses that have been carried out for years without sufficient documentary record.

What needs checking

  • Current use of the building and its characteristics.
  • Age of the use: historical aerial photography and period documentation.
  • Conditions of the property and plans of the current state, where applicable.
  • Planning regulations applicable to the specific case.

Which professionals are involved

The technical documentation of the existing use is our part: report, measurement, plans and evidence. The planning assessment and the recognition of the consolidated use belong to the competent Administration.
