Depending on local regulations, different elements of the property may be subject to review, highlighting:

• - Foundation and structure.

• - Facades and party walls.

• - Sealing and covers.

• - Facilities.

• - Other elements that affect safety, health or public ornamentation.

The result of the inspection will be favorable when the building or construction meets the following conditions:

• - Security, so that it does not imply risk for people and property. Likewise, the facades (interior, exterior and party walls) and other elements whose condition poses a risk to people's safety, such as chimneys, false ceilings, cornices, projections, flights or ornamental or finishing elements, must be repaired.

• - Healthiness, so that it does not threaten hygiene and public health, so the necessary works must be carried out to prevent water leaks through the façade, roof or land, and the general plumbing and sanitation networks must be maintained in good working order.

• - Public ornament and decorum, so that the façade of buildings and constructions does not affect the urban image.

Specific characteristics of the city of Madrid:

According to the regulations of the city of Madrid, which will come into force in 2012, inspections will also include:

• - Accessibility of accesses, stairs, pavements, railings, handrails, signaling and sensory communication elements (braille, high reliefs, magnetic loop, etc.), existing elevators and other horizontal or vertical communication elements of the building or construction.

• - Thermal behavior of the building. However, the content of this information will serve to establish measures to promote the energy efficiency of buildings, without having any effect on the result, favorable or unfavorable, of the inspection.

If after the deadline for submitting the technical inspection report has elapsed, the obligated party has not carried out the inspection, the competent body will order it to be carried out, granting it an additional period to submit it, with a warning, in case of non-compliance, of the imposition of coercive fines, subsidiary execution of the technical inspection and the initiation of the corresponding sanctioning procedure.

The amount of these sanctions ranges between 1,000 and 6,000 euros, in addition to the amount derived from the subsidiary execution of the technical inspection at the expense of the obligor. If there is opposition from the owners or residents to the inspection, the corresponding court order will be requested to enter and carry out the technical inspection.

In the event that the building is in good condition, the result of the ITE will be favorable and the owners will not be obliged to do any work. The favorable inspection report and a location plan must be presented to the Town Hall, where both the limits of the plot and the buildings and constructions inspected are graphically defined. In some municipalities, it is possible to attach, in turn, a complementary technical report.

Once the documentation has been examined by the Administration, the file will be archived until the next inspection, which as a general rule will be carried out after 10 years. In addition, the building will be recorded in the Registry of buildings and constructions.

If any of the elements analyzed are affected during the building inspection, the technician will reflect the following content in the report/minute:

a) Description and location of the defects and deficiencies that affect the structure and foundation, the facades, the roofs and roofs, the general plumbing and sanitation networks and the accessibility elements existing in the building.

b) Description of its possible causes.

c) Description of the immediate security measures that have been adopted to guarantee the safety of the building's occupants, neighbors, neighbors and passers-by, if necessary.

d) Description of the recommended works and works that, in a prioritized manner, are considered necessary to correct the deficiencies described in letter a) and their estimated duration.

e) Degree of execution and effectiveness of the measures adopted and the works carried out to correct deficiencies described in the previous technical inspections of the building.

f) Determine the mechanical accessibility system without its corresponding periodic regulatory inspection.

Once the unfavorable inspection report has been issued and presented to the town hall, the owners of the property must request the corresponding municipal license to undertake the pertinent correction works. If the license application does not require a technical project, once the works are completed, a certificate of suitability will be issued, signed by a competent technician, indicating that the defects have been corrected, or failing that, a new ITE report with a positive result. In the event that the works to be undertaken require a technical project, the final work certificate must be presented, signed by a competent technician and endorsed by the corresponding professional association.

In many municipalities it is possible to benefit from subsidies to carry out works to correct the deficiencies found, with contributions that range, depending on the location of the property and the economic conditions of the owner, between 10 and 30% of the budget.

If the ordered works are not executed, the City Council may order their replacement execution, which usually entails a significant extra cost compared to the ordinary execution cost.
