Estate agent fees - Page 6

Hi where did you get your information from regarding the properties on D. You have made a couple of comments which do not tally with our interpretation of events and we have been actively involved in trying to address the situation and have a round table meeting on September the 10th with the CHS, the Town Hall and regional representatives.

CRA

Would it be possible for me to attend this meeting, please ??

I have an appointment with a notary on Friday 9th to complete the purchase of a bungalow in D32. When I passed on this report of 400 - 600 houses in sector D that were illegally constructed and asked them to check this property very carefully, my solicitors (PALS) vehemently denied any such incident happened.

From the last meeting with the CRA and your legal team at the Mariano restaurant on A sector.

The legal team openly stated hundreds of homes built on land that should not be there.

PALS??

Your legal reps openly stated it on the last meeting, CRA meeting with legal reps at Mariano restaurant along with fighting the battle to divert the Rambala.

The legal rep stood up and openly stated hundreds of homes built on land on D sector that should not be there.

Its approximately 500 homes which are built on public land. There are also a lot of homes without certificates of first occupation actually the  number dependent on whether they were ever issued. Some homes have them but an awful lot don't. You describe a lady was  told to 'gorth forth' when challenging iberdrola when seeing them taking out fuses an ripping out wires. It was actually a male resident who approached them November 2019. The lights have been off ever since in those polygona's effected. But lighting is off in many areas of Camposol, it's a question of finding a solution.

Just putting the record straight. All parties are getting around the round table and it looks like the CHS will need to find a solution. But we need to wait until September to see if that is true.

Regards

PALS have written to me "Camposol properties do not require a official licence of first occupancy and the purpose of these are mainly to get the licenses / boletins for the water & electric connected to the property when they are new builds. You are purchasing a resale property where the connections are long established so it is not a requirement. I can confirm that we are in receipt of the house deeds from the vendor and we have obtained a nota simple from the land registry confirming the same information hence making the property legal."

Should I be worried ??  (property is in D32, Calle Heman Valle)

We are currently looking at certificates of first license and yes they are required to provide services. It is a requirement which has been ignored by the Town Hall. They are also required to be updated if you make any changes to your property. Did you take out a mortgage on your property or if you propose to sell in the future you might find a bank reluctant to give a mortgage. I suggest you check your status with a solicitor who is familiar with first licenses and the process or even read up on the internet. You may not be on your own.

Can you recommend a solicitor who is familiar with first licenses and the process ? 

We live in England and don't (yet) speak or understand any Spanish. We are relying on PALS (Professional And Legal Solicitors) in Marrazon, and over the last 4 months, they have shown them themselves to be anything other than professional.

As stated, and as you now confirm, I did not dream it up, it was stated by the legal team, and as you say 500 homes built on public land that should not be there.

Its all right that estate agents say they know nothing, or it does not need this or that, if they are built on the wrong place, thats a worry, no one knows what the Spanish authority will do in the future.

Its good to know the CRA are fighting all with the legal team, but it needs to be passed in court to put all made lawfull, and no action to be taken against the owners.

In the CRA meeting it was stated that a LADY approached the electric company ripping out the wires, and not as you say a MALE, I wrote it all down, however, either is no matter, the point is, why were they ripping out the wires? 

In addition, do we know any more about the 880 thousand Euros for the road repairs?

Where is the 1.9 million awarded by the court for the upgrade of Camposol?

Are the council / water company now going to use the 1.9 million to re route the Rambala, as the council has been found not guilty of any miss practise, but the water company to blame, and the water company has stated, they will NOT pay for the re rout. ( 1-9 million ? ) I wonder.

The past has proved you cannot trust the councils, and as the CRA stated also, Camposol is not a favourite of the council.
