We originally banked with Halifax, taken over by Lloyds, taken over by Sabadell.  Having winced at the new fees they introduced, we went into our local branch and have now changed over to their Expansion account.  We had no problems at all and our local branch were very helpful.

Can anyone tell me how the Valor Catastral is calculated?  Several owners on our resort have just received their IBI bills and the amounts vary, for  instance, we have a first floor apartment and ours is considerably more than someone who has a penthouse, which seems very strange.

Thanks again for your prompt reply, I'll try and find the answers to those questions, unfortunately I need to find a translator!

Spanish Solicitor,

Thanks very much for your reply.  It's interesting that you say the duty of repair lies with the Community, they have already said it is nothing to do with them and that we have to claim against the developer ourselves.   The developer has refused to do anything.  Would you recommend we ask the Community to sue the developer or for us to tackle that ourselves?

Thanks again.

Hi,

I've been looking for a thread that seems relevant to our problem.  We completed on our property in November 2007, but only visit during holiday times.  While we were In March this year (2009), we had several very bad storms, which highlighted a problem we have with our balcony, but were unaware of until this time.  Our upstairs neighbours balcony has railings fitted and when it rains the water pours on to our balcony.  Our balcony has a solid wall with just a very small drainage hole, the balcony floor doesn't drain away very effectively towards the drainage hole, so the result is that water lies around on our balcony, unable to escape.

We told the developer straight away and they told us to get permission from our upstairs neighbour so that corrective drainage which re-routes the water, could be carried out.  We eventually got this permission, but now the developer is refusing to carry out the work because the upstairs apartment has a railings and agreement had only been given, at a previous community meetingabout other apartments affected by this, for remedial work to be carried out on apartments with a solid wall.  This seems ridiculous to us as we have the community's approval to have  the work done.  It is presumably a tactic being used by the developer to back out of spending unnecessary money on correcting a design fault.  Does anyone have any advice as to how we stand legally?  We are still hoping the builder will see sense but obviously something needs to be done before the structure of our balcony is damaged.

Thanks
