What is a new construction home for legal purposes in Spain?

We tend to think that a new construction home is the same as a brand new property, but this statement is not totally correct.

The concept of "new construction" does not refer to the property itself, but rather to a construction verified in the Spanish Property Registry; if it has been or is being built on land.

New construction is also considered to be the rehabilitation or extension of a building already built on land, as long as the property is recorded in the property registry.
