Boletin Certificate

For those who are unaware of the Electrical legal system here in Spain let us explain.

A Bulletin (Boletin) is a document issued to the property owner by an Electrical Contractor (in this case BS ELECTRICAL) that states that the properties electrical system complies with current Spanish Electrical Regulations.

This document can be required when a new homeowner wants to change the name on the electrical factura (electricity bill) so he can begin to pay the electricity bills.

In some cases Boletins can be issued against electrical systems without the need for any work. In other cases some work may be required… fuseboards may need to be altered and additional items may need to be included so as to allow the boletin to be issued.

PLEASE BE AWARE.

On purchasing a property some people decide not to bother getting the electricity bill changed into their name. What then can happen is that the past owner will continue to get sent the electricity bills. He obviously won’t pay these and so if the bill doesn’t get paid you will eventually get cut off. Unlike in the UK, Endesa (the electrical supplier) give you limited warning about this…one solitary letter… and without reply they will then simply cut you off.

You then will have the aggravation of having to obtain a new boletin whilst having no electricity supply ….. dealing with Endesa is a nightmare. Constant visits & phone calls to your local Endesa office followed by demands for certain official paperwork ….. and for your trouble once your done you’ll also get hit with a hefty reconnection charge!!

Another possible problem that can arise is that if you ever have a problem with your incoming electrical supply (external power cut) and the property is not registered in your name you wont be able to do anything about it…. Again you’ll need to get a new boletin before you can approach Endesa about resolving the problem.

So we’d suggest, to save time and any possible future problems, please get your new boletin as soon as you have purchased your property.

As a general price guide Boletin costs start from as little as 100 euros.

Commercial electrics

An Electrical Project is a necessary document for the commencement of the rewiring of a commercial shop (locale) or premises such as a Bar or Restaurant or the intended electrical system at a new build property. The project is the official design drawing that we, the electrical contractor, must follow. This document must be authorised and checked by the local Industria Authority in Malaga. The actual installation will also be checked before during and after so as to confirm that it complies with the specification of the Project.

As both Boletins and Projects vary in size they also vary in price.
