<\/span><\/h2>\nAll agents involved in the construction and rehabilitation of houses, as well as in the provision of real estate services, such as developers, owners, real estate agents and property managers must comply with the regulations that prohibit illegal advertising in the sale and \/ or rent of a house.<\/p>\n
Law 18\/2007 of 28 December on property rights,<\/strong>\u00a0establishes which are the essential characteristics that must be accomplished when\u00a0advertising the sale or rental of a dwelling<\/strong>. Advertising must be\u00a0true,<\/strong>\u00a0 information provided must be real, the fundamental data and characteristics of the real state cannot be hidden, adverts cannot \u00a0induce the recipients to error with economic repercussions, the buyer can demand the data and characteristics of the construction\u00a0and, in addition, properties cannot be commercialized, or advertised on behalf of third parties without previously having the corresponding order note.<\/p>\nOn the other hand, the advertising for the sale of a home must contain at least: the location <\/strong>(it must not allow identifying the home to guarantee privacy and protection of the rights of the owners, but allow the interested party to locate the district and the area within the same one in which the property is located), the state <\/strong>(finished, under construction or only projected), number and expiration date of the works license<\/strong> (in case of new buildings), useful and constructed surface, number of membership of the agent of the real estate property, contact details of the person in charge of marketing the real estate promotion,<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and the<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>energy efficiency label<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/span>Consumer protection clauses in the property purchase agreement<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nSpanish Law 1\/2007, of November 16, approves the text of the\u00a0General Law for the Protection of Consumers and Users<\/strong>, \u00a0is the law that \u00a0establishes how the clauses of a sale or rental contract for a home must be: simple, concrete and clear in their wording, they cannot be abusive and always in case of doubt prevails the principle of interpretation more favorable to the consumer.<\/p>\nA\u00a0clause is abusive<\/u><\/strong> when negotiated against good faith, establishes a significant imbalance between the rights and obligations of the parties, harming the consumer, or binds the contract solely to the will of the developer or seller company.<\/p>\nExamples of unfair terms are those imposed on the consumer to pay expenses that correspond to the developer or seller company, for example: the stipulation requiring the buyer to pay the costs of inscribing in the property register the division condo or mortgages to finance construction; the clause that obliges the consumer to subrogate in the mortgage of the developer; clauses that obliges the consumer to pay the taxes that by law correspond to the seller; or that which impose on the consumer the expenses derived from establishing access to the general supplies of the property when the house must be delivered in conditions of habitability.<\/p>\n
