Thank you so much for the link, really appreciate someone taking the time to help.  Its difficult when you live in England and renovating and furnishing a property in another country, even more so when you don't speak the languauge.  I know exactly where to go for everything in the UK. 

Have checked out the site for Leroy Merlin and even know where their store is in Malaga, so thats a bonus.  That looks exactly like what we are looking for (we like the wooden ones)  So thanks again

Good evening all.

 We have a property in Colmenar, Malaga and we are looking for an above ground pool, does anyone have any suggestions where we can buy one from in the region rather than having to import one from UK?

Thanks for all your help (in advance)

;-)

Hi all,

As you can see from my previous posts I am in a similar situation with a property I have inherited from my father.  We initially went to a lawyer with a good reputation as I had read reports about dodgy lawyers and estate agents.  I have since found out from research that most rural properties are illegal.  Following the bad press the local town halls want to avoid any more of this as much as possible, but once an official file has been opened by a good reputable lawyer etc. than an official enquiry has to be made and government officials become involved.  The problem can esculate then to other properties in the same area as the original property.  (as they are all possibly illegal).  Action then has to be taken by the town hall following pressure from the government.  (including bulldozing)!!!!!!

There are ways around it but I am unsure if it is legal.  

I am unsure of the answer.  We wanted to do everything correctly but feel that is not an option, we have tried and it has cost  us several thousands of euros so far and we are still in the same position regarding the property registration as when we started.  This is not the UK property market, it is corrupt and the only way to get out of it is in the same manner.  Sorry for not being able to give you more positive and legal answer.
