REQUEST VIP coordinates luxury real estate searches in Madrid for apartments, penthouses, city houses and private mandates, subject to documented access and independent Spanish professionals. Send intended use, preferred daily routes, building style, parking, outdoor-space needs, renovation appetite, timing and ownership context. The search should test the exact unit and community, not rely on a district name or staged photographs.
Key Facts
- Registradores defines a nota simple as an informative extract of the property’s registered identity, owners, rights, limitations and charges; it is not a technical or planning report.
- Comunidad de Madrid’s SIT viewer displays approved planning instruments but expressly says it does not show their degree of execution, which the municipality must assess.
- Madrid tourist accommodation currently requires regional steps and the applicable City planning and activity licence; ownership alone gives no operating entitlement.
- The City’s Plan RESIDE entered into force in 2025 and changes where new tourist accommodation may be licensed, making address and building configuration decisive.
Building first, then neighbourhood
Salamanca spans street-facing apartments, interior units and newer projects with different light, porter service and parking. Chamberí and Almagro add period lifts, courtyards and protected fabric. Jerónimos and Retiro prioritise park access, while El Viso may suit a detached-home brief.
Map office or school travel, airport route, walking, noise and car use. Record floor, orientation, terraces, lift, garage dimensions, storage, porter hours, climate systems and deliveries. The parent luxury real estate service defines representation; the Spain acquisition framework covers national registry, cadastral and identity controls.
Off-Market Property Madrid
A discreet introduction may originate with an owner, agent, lawyer or network. Before receiving an address, establish seller authority, presenting party, confidentiality, viewing qualification and other circulation. An unadvertised apartment is not automatically rare, correctly priced or legally clean.
Apply the off-market mandate process before distributing proof of funds or personal details. REQUEST VIP should log who represents whom, permitted media, expiry of information and any fee trigger.
Unit, title and community records
Order a fresh nota simple to screen the registered finca, owners and charges. The legal team decides whether continuous information or certification is required. Compare the unit, annexes and shares with deed, Catastro, plans and physical occupation.
For a flat, obtain división horizontal, statutes, minutes, accounts, arrears evidence, insurance, litigation and approved derramas. Establish whether terrace, roof, patio, storage and parking are private, common or exclusively used common areas.
Notariado recommends advice before signing or paying because arras can bind. The notary handles the deed and legal checks; the buyer appoints separate legal, tax, valuation and technical help. Verify payment instructions through known channels.
Planning, protection and refurbishment
Have a technician compare the municipal file, approved plans, present layout, use, works licences, occupation status and Catastro. Joined units, enclosed terraces, structural openings and common-element changes need evidence beyond a nota simple.
Protection may constrain façades, windows, portals, stairs, courtyards, roofs and interiors. Check the catalogue and municipal record. The regional SIT map does not evaluate execution, so obtain address-specific confirmation.
For a recent scheme or heavy conversion, use the luxury new-development review to examine promoter authority, licence, specification, guarantees, construction status and handover conditions. REQUEST VIP gives no assurance that a proposed alteration will be approved.
Tourist use is a separate acquisition question
Comunidad de Madrid’s current VUT procedure calls for a declaration, CIVUT technical certificate, insurance, applicable community approval and compliance with safety, accessibility and planning rules. In Madrid municipality, the required urban activity and operation licence must also be held.
Plan RESIDE adds location and building constraints. The City says new dispersed tourist flats will not be licensed in historic-centre residential buildings; conditions elsewhere address access and whole-building scenarios. A municipal professional must still check the address, floor, authorisation, community and operator against the current text.
Registration or historic advertising by a seller does not guarantee transferability or future use. No occupancy, nightly rate, yield or licence outcome should enter the acquisition case as guaranteed revenue.
Foreign buyer, tax and succession file
A foreign purchaser may need a NIE for Spanish administrative and transaction documents. It is an identifier, not permission to live in Madrid. Instruct tax advisers early to model acquisition, holding, imputed or rental income, wealth exposure where applicable, financing and eventual disposal for the actual residence and ownership facts.
Personal, joint or company ownership affects beneficial-owner checks, governance, home-country reporting and succession. Review wills, matrimonial regime and cross-border inheritance with Spanish and relevant foreign professionals before exchange. REQUEST VIP coordinates appointments but does not recommend a structure or calculate tax.
Viewing and operating plan
Visit in daylight and when traffic changes the street. Test the garage route, reception, water pressure, cooling, acoustics and overlooking. Let the buyer’s technician select the survey and specialist inspections.
For a second home, price utilities, staff access, key custody, leak response and community communications through luxury property management. Separate those costs from the purchase and keep decision authority in writing.
