Does this certificate guarantee the structure has no problems?

It documents what was observed in a visual inspection: it certifies the apparent condition and the damage detected, with its assessment. If the evidence advises testing, trial pits or structural calculation, we say so expressly in the recommendations.

Is it the same as the ITE (building inspection)?

No. The Inspección Técnica de Edificios, where it is mandatory, is an administrative document with regulated content. This certificate is a technical report on the structural condition; if what you need is the ITE, tell us and we'll confirm the viability of the assignment.

Can it be used for a claim against an insurer or a builder?

It is an objective technical document describing the damage and its assessment, commonly used as starting evidence in claims. The legal strategy is up to your lawyer.

Certificate of structural condition in the Canary Islands

A crack can be a paint problem or the symptom of something serious. The certificate of structural condition documents how the property's structure is (columns, beams, slabs, walls and visible foundations), what damage it shows and how far it goes, so you can decide with technical information rather than hunches.

An administration, insurer or owners' association requires a report on the building's condition.

What problem it solves

Uncertainty about a structure paralyses decisions: purchases that don't close, renovations that don't dare to start, arguments about how serious a crack is. The certificate replaces it with a documented technical inspection that distinguishes the cosmetic from the structural and sets out the reasonable next steps.
