Change of use from commercial premises to dwelling in the Canary Islands
Turning commercial premises into a dwelling does not start with the works: it starts with knowing whether the space and the planning rules allow it. We measure the premises, check their conditions (openings, natural light and ventilation, ceiling heights, layout and access) and prepare the technical documentation to apply for the change of use where the municipal procedure provides for it.
[01]
When you need this service
- You own or plan to buy commercial premises and want to know whether they could become a dwelling.
- You need the technical feasibility report before deciding on the investment.
- The municipal procedure requires a project or technical documentation to apply for the change of use.
- The owners' community or its statutes may be affected by the new use.
[02]
What problem it solves
Many operations fail because people buy or build before checking. The preliminary study answers the key question with data: whether the premises meet the technical conditions required of a dwelling and whether the planning rules and the ordinance of your municipality allow the change of use.
[03]
What's included
- Visit and full measurement of the premises.
- Checking of openings, natural light and ventilation, clear heights and layout.
- Review of the planning rules and the municipal ordinance applicable to the change of use.
- Technical feasibility report with the conditions detected and the constraints.
- Technical documentation for the application of the procedure that corresponds, according to the municipality.
[04]
What we need to assess your case
- Access to the premises.
- Cadastral reference and, if you have it, the deed or a Land Registry extract.
- Statutes of the owners' community, if the premises are in a building under the horizontal property regime.
[05]
What you will receive
- Technical report.
- Plans of the measured premises and, where applicable, of the proposed layout.
- List of the technical and planning constraints detected.
Want to know how much it would cost in your case?
The price depends on the characteristics of the plot and the work required. Send us the cadastral reference or the location and we can make an initial assessment.
