Hi there, thanks again - that makes perfect sense. thete is that red tubing the goes into the house. They used that to run the cabling into the house, however it ends when it comes out of the house and the tubing from the electric supply to the house is somply a black mesh type tubing and is only 6-8 inches and shares the trench.

you've been really helpful Costa. I'll talk to the builder tomorrow.

Many thanks, Carl

Hi Costa, thanks for the reply but I want to be clear here.

I have NO intention of touching it - it's something the builder is doing.

My technocal explanation wasn't quite correct - The electric and water do not share the same conduit - they share the same trench in the ground.

Are the dimensions you give of the depth of the cables Spanish building regulations? Should the electric cable not be encased in armour cabling, or in Spain is it ok to put it in plastic cabling? Also the point about painting the area in yellow is sensible - again is that your idea or is that Spanish regulation?

 

Thanks, Carl

Hi, I also wanted to ask anyone expert in this field what the legal requirements in Spain are?

 

Is it ok for the electricity to only be buried down about 8 inches into the ground as it travels around the plot? Must it be armour plated under Spanish building regulations? Is it ok for the water and the electric supply to share the same underground conduit?

 

Any professional advice gratefully received.

Best regards, Carl

Hi,

 

Had anyone had any driveways installed in the Murcia area?

We have a steep drive down to our plot and then want to run a driveway along to where our car port will be.

We lke the idea of pressed concrete and are keen to hear if anyone else has had it and what prce per m2 they were able to source it for (fitted).

Also, our plot gets VERY wet when it rains. I guess that's why everyone uses gravel around their gardens - again any idea of costs per m2 of that fitted wold also be appreciated.

 

Many thanks, Carl

This is very interesting. I had no idea until a couple of years ago that I had a collar on my Caja Murcia mortgage.

 

I contacted them today with the facts listed below and was told that i was badly misinformed and this was totally legal and I should check it with my lawyers.

 

I have contacted my lawyer and await their reply.

 

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

 

Cheers, Carl
