I wonder if anyone can help.

I'd like to hear from anyone who has actually been through the military zone authorisation process (for buying a house) in the last 12 months just to find out how long it actually took. We submitted our documentation via our solicitor in mid July and they were sent to Seville.

I've heard all the horror stories, but an idea of the reality would be useful. Our solicitors have not managed to get any response so far.

Many thanks.

Mike

We recently moved to Murcia, which is one of the areas where this document is required but as we were buying a new property in a town, we didn't need one in the end.

The attached article on some updates of the situation was published a couple of weeks ago in the Euro Weekly. Hope that this helps!
