Accrued interest

The interest applied as a penalisation when the debtor does not comply with repayment obligations. The amount must be established in the contract.

Active supermortgage

This allows the client to choose their loan's benchmark index (MIBOR at three months, six months or a year) so that payment can benefit from lower interest rates sooner.

Adaptable instalment

Characteristic of UCI superloans that allow the borrower to not pay one instalment a year for the first three years if there are problems due to holidays, extraordinary expenses, etc.

Affordable rent

The cost of renting these dwellings is below market prices after being included in operations concerning the rented flat pool, social renovation or social housing promotions.

Amortisation

Payment made to repay a loan.

Amortisation period

The duration of the loan. The contract establishes the date of the first and last payments. The longer the period, the lower the payments are, but the higher the interest. You therefore pay more in the end. The monthly instalment should not exceed 35% of your net income.

API

A qualified professional who acts as an intermediary between the two interested parties to facilitate the signing of a real estate contract, which can be a rental agreement, a sales agreement or another similar contract. They usually charge a percentage of the sales price as compensation or commission.

Arbitri municipal de plusvàlua

Former denomination of the capital gains tax on landed property.

Assessment

The value of a dwelling certified by a specialised assessment company, in accordance with the mortgage market law. This certificate not only indicates the real value of the property, it also serves as a reference for obtaining the necessary financing.

Urbàlia Rurana porta des de 1990 conreant el seu estil particular de música popular valenciana i mediterrània. Aquest 2025, celebren 35 anys d’escenaris amb una idea clara: acostar la música tradicional valenciana a les influències d'altres països de la ribera del mar Mediterrani, una mar que per a ells és un espai d'evocació i d'inspiració constant.

Per a l’ocasió, Urbàlia Rurana ha incorporat dos nous músics, Salva Pellisser a les percussions i Meritxell Lausuch a la dolçaina i el clarinet. Això els permetrà recupera la tímbrica de les dues dolçaines a dues veus i enriquir les adaptacions de cobles populars i les musicacions de poemes de poetes valencians. Al Tradicionàrius ens oferiran un concert dinàmic amb diversitat d’estils i de ritmes que conviden a la dansa.

Jaume Gosàlbez: dolçaina, saxo, tarota, flauta i veu

Meritxell Lausuch: dolçaina, clarinet i veu

Carles Gil: acordió, mandola, mandolina i veu

Toni Torregrossa: guitarra, mandocello, guitarró i veu

Joan Buigues: tuba i veu

Bernat Pellisser: bateria i percussions

Salva Pellisser: darbuka, panderos, redoblant i veu
