Asbestos, energy performance and habitability certificates in Spain

A technician visits your property within 48 h* and we send you the signed certificate 4 h* after the visit. We handle the whole process, or just the parts you need.

Three certificates, one visit

Choose the ones you need. We only offer you the ones that apply to your property.

Asbestos certificate

A technician inspects everything visible and accessible in the property and signs the certificate: it states whether there are materials that may contain asbestos (uralita, the Spanish word for asbestos cement) and what condition they are in.

For: homes, apartment buildings, industrial buildings and businesses and farms and agricultural holdings.

  • Technician's visit and visual inspection
  • Signed certificate (in Catalonia, on the Catalan Waste Agency template)
  • If uralita turns up, we tell you what to do and which grants are available

From €219 incl. VAT

Energy performance certificate (EPC)

The energy rating (from A to G) you need to sell or rent out a home anywhere in Spain, registered with your regional government.

For: homes, apartment buildings and industrial buildings and businesses (depending on use).

  • Technician's visit and data collection
  • Certificate and energy label
  • Registration with your regional government

From €89 incl. VAT

Habitability certificate (cédula de habitabilidad)

The cédula de habitabilidad is a Spanish regional document confirming that a home is fit to live in. In Catalonia you need it to sell or rent out; other regions do not always ask for it (or give it another name).

For: homes.

  • We check whether your region requires it
  • Visit and technical report
  • Submission to the authorities (any official fee is extra, passed on at cost)

From €129 incl. VAT

Frequently asked questions

Can I order just one certificate?

Yes. You can order one, two or all three. If you combine them, the technician does them in the same visit and it works out cheaper.

When will I get the certificate?

The technician visits the property within 48 h* and we send you the signed certificate 4 h* after the visit, whichever certificate or combination you choose.

What does the asbestos certificate price include?

The visit, the inspection of everything visible and accessible, and the signed certificate. Lab analysis is extra, and only if the technician recommends it. It is not issued by a public register: it is signed by a competent technician.

Why are industrial buildings, commercial premises and apartment buildings quoted individually?

Because the work depends a great deal on the size and type of building. We give you the price after assessing the property, with no obligation.

Do industrial buildings and farms need an energy performance certificate?

Buildings in industrial use and non-residential agricultural buildings are exempt. Offices, commercial premises and shops do need one. We confirm it for your case.

What if the certificate finds uralita?

It does not stop you selling or renting out. We tell you what is best to do and, if you like, give you a full quote for removal and replacement. Removal is carried out by personnel registered in the RERA (Spain's register of companies at asbestos risk), with an approved work plan, under our technician's direction.
