» Wie kaufe ich sicher Land auf Teneriffa, um ein Haus zu bauen?

If you have the objective of building your own house, the first objective will be to find suitable land for this purpose. In order to choose and buy the correct land in Tenerife, it is necessary to be very clear about the types of land that exist. The urban terms that must be taken into account are Land Classification and Land Qualification. Soil classification refers to different types of soil and Qualification is the use and building possibilities of a piece of land. The qualifications are specific characteristics of a piece of land in relation to its buildability coefficient and the specific regulations that apply to it (permitted uses, alignments or maximum height, among others). Land Classifications are urban land, developable land and non-developable land.

 

 

A soil is considered as urban, if it meets these characteristics:

 

 

1. Provision of basic services and facilities. The land must have road access, a water supply and evacuation network, and electricity supply. If the land does not have road access, water supply and electricity, most likely the buyer will have to pay future charges, when the town hall is going to develop the street. The price of the land depends directly on whether the street is urbanized or not.

 

 

2. Building consolidation. The land complies with this condition, when it is included in an area consolidated by the building in at least two thirds of its buildable area. It means that if the land is isolated, it will not have this building consolidation and, on the contrary, if the land is contiguous with an urban fabric, then it is easier to comply with this condition.

 

 

3. Compliance with planning. The land has been developed and urbanized following the specifications established in the planning, which means that it has no irregularities and complies with municipal urban regulations. If this is not the case, there is an urban planning instrument, which is called the 'Special Plan' and allows irregularities to be normalized.

 

 

There can be several types of urban land:

 

- Consolidated urban land. They are the lands considered solar. A Solar is a land suitable for building and is urbanized according to urban planning, that is, bordering a paved and illuminated road, with the alignments and grades indicated, which allows the granting of an immediate license and the construction of which does not involves the transfer of land. But you have to be alert when buying a plot of land in Tenerife. It is recommended to go to the architect before buying land in Tenerife. At our real estate agency Nous Property, before starting the purchase negotiations, we always carry out the urban and legal checks. Another reason for making these checks is possible debts, which weigh on the ground.

 

- Unconsolidated urban land. They are the land that need urbanization works to become a plot. For this, instruments will be used, such as a Special Plan or a Detailed Study. The urbanization works may include the interior reform of the land, its renewal and urban improvement, the obtaining of public resources or its redevelopment. It must be taken into account that unconsolidated urban land will depend on a Plan or Study to be suitable for building and obtaining a building permit, which means loss of time waiting for urban resolution.

 

Undeveloped land is protected land. It may be reserved for infrastructure development or public services. But on some kinds of undeveloped land you can build legally. Normally when it comes to single-family homes linked to agricultural or livestock farming, on large plots to avoid excessive building density, or buildings of public utility or social interest. Nous Property real estate agency will review each case in detail and again, will contact an architect before starting with the purchase procedures for this type of land in Tenerife.

 

 

 

This type of soil does not have characteristics of any of the above. Generally, in order to build on developable land, it will be necessary to previously develop a Partial Plan or Reparcelling Project, especially in special developable land.
