In accordance with the regulations in force in the years in which the deductions for this concept were applied, the right to them will be lost when, after said years, the following circumstances occur:

1. Failure to comply with the continuous period of three years of occupation of the home, unless exceptional circumstances arise that necessarily require a change of address.

   See in Chapter 16, the concept of habitual residence .

2. Failure to comply with the four-year period for the completion of the works, counted from the beginning of the investment, unless, due to the concurrence of the legally established requirements, said period is subject to extension.

   In the tax period in which the four-year period was not met, those taxpayers who, having requested an extension of the four-year period to build the home, have seen his request was rejected by the Administration.

3. Failure to comply with the twelve-month period, counted from the date of acquisition or completion of the works, for the taxpayer to effectively and permanently inhabit the home, unless exceptional circumstances occur that prevent the occupation of the home.

   See in Chapter 16, the concept of habitual residence .
