The importance of hiring qualified tradespeople in Spain

Sometimes it’s tempting to hire the first, cheapest or nearest handyman you find, but there are good reasons to shop around

Choosing the right tradespeople when you want to carry out any sort of work on your property in Spain is essential to ensure the quality and legality of the work. Engaging unqualified, unlicenced individuals simply because they speak your language can lead to various problems.

One common issue is a lack of a contract for the work, leaving you with no legal protection. Unlicenced workers often lack third-party insurance, meaning you could be liable for damages or injuries resulting from their work.

For major property work, it’s essential to hire licenced and insured professionals who have gone through all the required training in Spain. Consider using technical architects or architects to manage projects, as they define the scope of work precisely and provide insurance for any mistakes. They are also trained to adhere to building regulations as outlined by Spanish law, ensuring your property improvements meet the legal requirements for this country and not any other.

When making property improvements in Spain, prioritise working with qualified professionals to protect your investment and avoid legal issues.
