Certificate of surface areas of properties in the Canary Islands
The listing says one figure, Catastro another and the deed a third. The certificate of surface areas brings order: we measure the property on site, room by room, and certify its usable and built surface area with a plan backing every number.
[01]
When you need this service
- You are going to sell and want to advertise the square metres the property really has.
- You are buying or have bought and the real surface area doesn't match what was agreed.
- A valuation or expert report needs a reliable measurement as a starting point.
- Catastro or the deed record a surface area that doesn't correspond to reality.
- You need the surface computation for a division, segregation or distribution.

What problem it solves
Most surface figures in circulation have never been measured: they come from old plans, approximate declarations or data carried over between documents. The certificate of surface areas replaces them with a real measurement, with the computation criteria explained and the geometry drawn.

- Deed or registry extract, if you want the documentary comparison.
