Inés Rodríguez Ripoll
The permits and reports that make a home clean to sell — before a buyer ever asks.
Inés Rodríguez Ripoll founded Arquitectura 81 in 2005 and has built it into a studio that handles projects of every size, with a specialism in high-standing residential and hotel architecture. She is a licensed architect from the School of Architecture in Valladolid — awarded the Extraordinary End of Career Award for the best academic record of her year — with postgraduate study at Leeds Metropolitan in England, a doctorate from the University of Alicante in architectural construction, and an International Master BIM Manager qualification from Zigurat.
Before the studio, she spent more than six years as architect and project manager for Barceló Hotels & Resorts internationally. That mix of large-scale technical work and hands-on project management still shapes how Arquitectura 81 runs a job — precise, documented, accountable.
For Homebase, her studio covers the part most owners get wrong: building permits and legalisations, building surveys and condition reports, and energy-efficiency and habitability certificates. It is the technical due diligence that makes a home compliant, well-documented and ready to sell — and it removes exactly the doubts a non-resident buyer worries about. Works in English, Spanish and German.
Everything a home needs to be sale-ready
Before your home reaches the market, Inés's studio handles the surveys, certificates and permits a buyer — and their lawyer — will ask for. Clean, documented and settled early, so nothing surfaces late to cost you the deal.
Know before you sell
A full survey of the home's legal and structural condition — the pathologies and the cost to fix them laid out up front, so nothing surfaces mid-sale to hand a buyer leverage.
Clean on paper
The property's legal status set out in a formal report — answering the title, planning and compliance questions a buyer's lawyer will raise, before they raise them.
Rated to list
The energy-efficiency certificate every home needs to be legally advertised and sold in Spain — issued and in hand before you go to market.
Proven fit to live in
The cédula de habitabilidad that proves the home is legally habitable — required to sell or let, and registered on your behalf.
No surprises at signing
Undeclared or non-conforming works brought back in line with the rules — the fix that stops a legal cloud from collapsing a sale at the last minute.
Sell it ready, or sell it improved
For homes that need work before market: reform, extension or new build, modelled in BIM and run end-to-end by one accountable studio.
