Hi,
We are Dave and Alison from Leeds, and signed up to buy a bungalow in Block 7 in January 2007.
The bungalow was finished in February 2008 ahead of schedule (by a month) and we were hoping to have completed the purchase by May 2008
However initially problems with a mortgage from a Spanish bank fell through, we applied for a second, which we have recently accepted.
We are due to complete by 11/10/08, however have now come across another obstacle in the form of the Habitation licence. As you will know the developer applies for this to the Town Hall and ours was applied for in April however has not yet been issued. The bank will not complete without it and time is running out - my question is to anyone who has obtained this licence (specifically block 7), how long it took to obtain, and who obtained it for you, and any other information/advice or help would be appreciated.
Yours frustrated
Dave & Alison
