Ruling on the suspension of registration for change of use from commercial premises to residential

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal against the suspension of the registration of a description modification intended to change the use of a commercial premises to a dwelling. The Registrar suspended the registration, citing lack of signature authentication, the absence of a municipal licence to legalise the transformation works, and failure to pay the relevant tax (Facts II).

In 2 key points

  1. Detected defects: lack of signature authentication, absence of a municipal building licence and failure to pay the relevant tax (Hechos II, 2.º)
  2. Required rectification: authentication before a Notary or at the Land Registry, provision of a municipal licence and a declaration of first occupation (Hechos II, 4.º)

How it affects those involved

For the applicant company, the ruling maintains the suspension of the registration of the change of use, preventing the property from being legally recorded as a dwelling in the Land Registry. The interested party must rectify the signature authentication defects, provide the municipal licence or certificate of municipal compliance and the responsible declaration of first occupation, as well as prove payment of the relevant tax (Facts II, 4th).
