Hello from Spain - spoke to Jannika and she told me on Friday that the Acta will not be through until April 8th.

Really frustrating being in my apartment but not being able to stay there.

Nevertheless the apartments are great and I´ve already ordered a bed and bunk beds from the Furniture Zone who will hold on to them until I can get out again at the end of May.

Got Danny coming tomorrow to give me a price on the grills.

Best wishes

Paul

Just received an email from Pilar and she says they have the " licencia de 1ª Ocupación" and they are just waiting for the Acta Final de Obras.

Looks like things are moving!

This is also what my bank manager in Spain told me as well.

As I said before I cannot complete until the COFH is in place as my Spanish bank will not release the funds without it. 

My solicitor also advices me to wait as he says, (excuse his English)

"if you take over the property without the first occupancy licence( cédula de habitabilidad) you can not contract the services from the main supplies companies ( gas, water or electricity), and your water and electricity would be from the building site. Other interesting thing when buying without the cédula is that the property can not be registered as a finished one and therefore you are not covered by the 10 year insurance. What would happen if the builder would go to bankruptcy? Who will register the property as a finished one? Who will provide with water and electricity? "

I know it's frustrating having a finished apartment and not being able to get in but it should happen and we can all celebrate with a drink by the pool!

Spoke to my bank manager in Spain last week and they will definitely not release any funds until they have the Certificate of First Habitation so I don't expect to get the keys until May at the earliest!
