Land surveyor in Ontinyent

Industrial units, estates and extensions

Ontinyent's industry occupies several industrial estates, and many companies grow on the plot they already own. Before an extension, we survey what is there, with its levels, and the free part of the plot. During the works, we set out the structure and measure the earthworks to certify volumes. If the extension changes the built area, we then prepare the documentation for the Cadastre (Catastro, Spain's land and property register for tax purposes).

For the building permit (licencia), the project also needs the road levels and the position of the service connections. They go in the same survey, with no extra visits.

Masías and country houses

The municipality still has masías and country houses with terraces of olives, almonds and cereals, many of them inherited by several siblings. When they have to be divided, we measure the property, locate the boundaries with the adjoining owners and prepare the plot subdivision (segregación), after checking that each part meets the minimum area the regulations allow on rural land.

Many of these masías also have rights of way that have crossed the property for as long as anyone remembers and were never written down. When you divide, it is wise to have them drawn and agreed.

Plot measurement in Ontinyent along the Clariano

The river Clariano runs through the town and gathers ravines (barrancos) from across the municipality. Plots that border a watercourse are subject to an easement and a control zone (zona de policía), and building on them requires authorisation from the river basin authority (Confederación Hidrográfica del Júcar). We place the watercourse and its strips on the survey so that the project starts from that reality.

In la Vila, the old quarter overlooking the river, the houses are narrow and stepped. To restore them, the architect needs a survey of the building and of the differences in level between the streets, and that is what we deliver.

Villas on the outskirts

Around the town there are urbanisations and detached second homes, with boundaries that do not match the plan and buildings that were never declared. We measure, compare with the Cadastre and prepare the GML file (the georeferenced parcel format the Cadastre and the Land Registry require), the cadastral building location report (ICUC) or the certificate of age, depending on what is needed.

Typical cases in Ontinyent

A textile company extending its industrial unit that needs the structure set out and the excavation volume calculated. Three siblings who inherit a masía with terraces and want to divide it. The owner of a villa on the outskirts who needs to correct the area in the Cadastre before selling.
