Electrician for estate agents and letting managers in Seville, Spain

Electrician for estate agents: what an agency needs

A flat that cannot be shown because the lights fail, a connection delayed for lack of a boletín or a tenant calling because the RCD trips: all these problems end up on the agent’s desk. An electrician for estate agents has to solve them quickly, bother the owner as little as possible and put everything in writing.

This service is designed for agencies, letting managers and owners with several properties in Seville, including landlords who live outside Spain. What matters most is not a miracle price but that the work is done when promised, that the quote is clear and that the paperwork is in order.

What we do for agencies and letting managers

• Boletines for new connections, changes of account holder and power increases, issued by a registered installer company and registered with the Junta de Andalucía. Full details in electrical certificate (boletín).
• Supply connections and dealings with the distributor.
• Installations over 20 years old that need an upgrade and a new certificate before the electricity can be activated: old installation certificate.
• Make-ready before viewings: broken switches, sockets that do not work, blown bulbs, light fittings, an unlabelled fuse board. For small jobs, see our handyman electrician.
• Repairs between tenants and faults during the tenancy.
• Reports for buyers who want to know the condition of the installation before signing: electrical survey before buying.

How we work with estate agencies

1. You send us the job with the address, photos of the fuse board if you have them and what the property needs.
2. Written quote for the owner, with the price of each job, so they approve it before we start.
3. Key collection at the agency or access arranged with the tenant.
4. Work and photos before and after.
5. Paperwork: detailed invoice and, where relevant, a registered boletín.
6. Immediate notice if anything unexpected turns up, before touching it.

Rental flats in Seville: what comes up most

In the city centre, Triana or around Santa Justa there are many small rental flats in old buildings with installations designed for very little power. When the tenant runs air conditioning, oven and washing machine at once, the power limiter or the breaker trips and the complaint arrives. Sometimes it is enough to check the fuse board and separate a circuit; other times the owner needs to consider increasing the contracted power or improving the installation.

In Nervión, Los Remedios or La Macarena the typical case is the inherited flat, or one empty for years, that the owner wants to let: the supply has been cut off, the boletín is over 20 years old and the distributor asks for a new one. The inspection tells you whether a minimum upgrade is enough or whether it is better to rewire before letting.

In tourist lets, guests expect a lot and a fault in the middle of a stay costs reviews. A regular check of the fuse board, RCDs and sockets prevents most call-outs.

Boletín, connection and sale: useful clarifications

• The boletín is not usually a requirement of the sale, but the buyer will need it to activate the electricity with an installation over 20 years old.
• Who pays for the boletín depends on what the parties agree. In a rental, it is wise to write it into the contract.
• We do not present the boletín as a requirement for the tourist rental licence. It is needed to connect the supply or change the power.
