As with many countries and cities around the world, permits are required for certain matters. This is also the case in Barcelona and all other Spanish cities. In Spain if your home or rental is in need of public services such as electricity, water, etc.., then you need a certificate of habitability. This permit certifies that the home you are living in or renting is up to date with current and local building laws. AT GMS Architecture we are here to help you with obtaining the habitability certificate at a fair price. Our company will also inspect your home and provide resources and tips on how to keep your home habitable. For all your Barcelona inspection needs, come check us out today.
