What do you need to know?
Authorisation is the administrative action whereby the Administration verifies that the deed of sale or rental contract for a home currently classified as subsidised housing is in accordance with the law.
Self-employed persons, professionals, companies, organisations and other groups must perform the procedure online. Documentation that you provide through another channel will not be taken into account or counted for the purposes of the submission date.
If you are an individual, we recommend making an appointment to carry out this procedure in person. Click here to find the office that applies to you.
You can only perform this procedure in person if you are an individual.
This procedure can be requested at any time, but must always be performed before executing the public deed in the case of sale.
Transfers of homes classified under Decree 2114/1968 of 24 July, in which the deed of sale can be provided, are excepted.
Transfers performed before the contract is authorised are null and void.
The documentation that must be provided together with the application depends on whether it is a contract of sale, rental or assignment of use:
- Private sale contract or
- Rental or assignment of use contract or
- Non-certified copy of the deed of sale
Any person who acquires, rents or assigns a subsidised home must designate the dwelling as their habitual and permanent residence and comply with the other requirements stipulated by the regulations concerning the classification of the home.
To find out the legal framework applicable to a subsidised home and the conditions that must be met by the buyers, tenants or assigns, you can request an informative report through the procedure available here.
No fees are associated with this procedure
