Frequently asked questions
Do I need an electrical certificate to buy or sell property in Spain?
Yes. Spanish law requires a valid Certificado de Instalación Eléctrica (CIE), commonly called a "boletín eléctrico", for property sales, power upgrades and changes of electricity contract. The certificate confirms the installation meets current REBT safety standards. We handle the full process — inspection, corrections if needed and filing with the Generalitat de Catalunya — typically within 48–72 hours.
How much does an electrical certificate cost in Tarragona?
For a standard residential property in good condition, an electrical certificate costs between 90 € and 150 € (plus IVA). If minor corrections are needed (faulty earthing, outdated breakers), expect 200–400 €. Major upgrades such as a full panel replacement can reach 400–700 €. Use our free online calculator for a personalised estimate in 30 seconds.
Do you speak English? Can I communicate in English throughout the process?
Yes. Our team speaks English fluently and we handle all communication, paperwork and coordination with Spanish authorities on your behalf. Many of our clients are British, Irish and international expats who own property on the Costa Daurada.
Which areas in Tarragona do you cover?
We are based in Vila-seca and serve the entire province of Tarragona: Tarragona city, Reus, Salou, Cambrils, Torredembarra, Valls, El Vendrell, Altafulla, La Pineda, Constantí, and surrounding towns along the Costa Daurada. No travel surcharge within the province.
I just bought an apartment — what electrical checks should I arrange?
We recommend three checks for new owners: (1) an electrical certificate to ensure the installation is legally compliant, (2) a panel inspection to verify breakers and RCDs are correctly rated, and (3) a general safety audit if the property is older than 20 years. We can do all three in a single visit.
