We are in process of buying in Estepona, a bank owned new property. I have been told the First Ocupation Licence has been revoked by town hall. But others have moved in and the spa and golf club are renting out apartments in same block. 

Our Lawyer had ask for this for this paper work at the start from the bank and was told all is in hand. Only to find that on the date to complete this wasn't the case. We are still awaiting an answer from Sabadel. As I understand it's against the Law to sell a property without this, or to habitate or apply for any services without this licence.

Thankfully  we have Lawyers in Marbella that I would highly recommend and who are working for us and not the vender. 

Hope to complete soon with a 100% legal purchase.

 

Thread: Should you complete without a habitation certificate?
