Frequently asked questions
How long does the QuickLease audit take?
We aim to deliver the report within 15 business days of booking; timing depends on how quickly third parties supply the information we need. If you book early in the purchase, which typically takes months, this leaves ample margin. Within one business day of your payment, María Luisa de Castro sends the document checklist and a 30-minute kickoff call invitation.
What documents do I need to provide?
Community bylaws (estatutos de la comunidad) and the latest libro de actas, a draft deed (escritura proyecto) or compraventa pre-contract, and the most recent nota registral. You upload them through a secure link we send you after the kickoff call.
What happens if the property does not comply?
You receive the same lawyer-signed PDF with the precise non-compliance items cited statute by statute and registry by registry. The report becomes your negotiation tool with the seller — to renegotiate the price, request remediation or walk away. If the property is structurally barred from rental (e.g. licence moratorium with no foreseeable lift), the report makes that explicit so you can make a clean go / no-go decision.
Does QuickLease cover every Comunidad Autónoma?
QuickLease is offered for Spanish properties, but the applicable rules are property- and jurisdiction-specific. CostaLuz Lawyers confirms the scope for the target property and the four-layer check applies the regional regime relevant to that address.
What exactly does the €1,210 incl. VAT cover?
The complete four-layer audit (Comunidad de Propietarios, Ayuntamiento, Comunidad Autónoma, Registro Autonómico de Turismo), the 30-minute kickoff call with the assigned lawyer, the lawyer-signed PDF in English (Spanish on request), a plain-language risk summary suitable for the notary appointment, and one follow-up email exchange to clarify findings. Notary fees, registry fees and transfer taxes are out of scope.
Is the fee credited if CostaLuz Lawyers handles my purchase?
Yes. QuickLease is a stand-alone service. If you then instruct CostaLuz Lawyers for the full conveyance, the QuickLease fee is credited against the conveyancing fee.
After Tribunal Supremo 620/2026, what changes?
CostaLuz Lawyers' current published analysis of Supreme Court judgment 620/2026 (19 May 2026) says the provisions creating the national NRUA short-term-rental registry were annulled. Regional tourist licensing and registration, the Ventanilla Única Digital and the remaining applicable obligations continue. QuickLease therefore checks the regional registration position that applies to the target property rather than treating a national NRUA number as the final compliance gate.
What is the difference between turístico, temporada and residencial rental?
Three distinct regimes. Tourist (VT) rental is governed by the regional tourism decree and requires registry entry — typically days or short weeks. Alquiler de temporada (Civil Code framework, not LAU) covers seasonal rentals — weeks to months for a specific finite purpose. Residential rental (LAU 29/1994 as amended) covers vivienda habitual — multi-year tenancies as the tenant's primary home. Misclassifying any of the three triggers different tax and sanction regimes. QuickLease maps which of the three your intended use falls under, given the property's regulatory position.
Can I request the audit before signing arras?
QuickLease is designed for the pre-purchase window, when the findings can still inform the buying decision. If you have already signed arras, tell CostaLuz Lawyers before booking so the lawyer can confirm the useful scope and timing for your specific position.
Which languages is the report delivered in?
English by default. Spanish is available on request. Confirm any additional language or formatting requirement with CostaLuz Lawyers before the report is prepared.
Who do I contact about cancellation or a refund?
Contact María Luisa de Castro at CostaLuz Lawyers before relying on any cancellation or refund assumption. QuickLease does not publish a fixed refund schedule here until the applicable terms and execution process are confirmed by the legal-service provider.
