 dear all

thank you so very much for all of your very helpful comments.   it has given us quite a lot to think about.   it would appear that we have one or two more options available to us now that we did not know of before and in addition, it is probably time to change our lawyer!  i may contact you again!  Gina

thanks for this -it's my sentiments exactly and i feel that the practice has been somewhat negligent but it does say in the contract with the builder that this licence of first occupation would be supplied one month after completion so we should have followed it up and made sure we had a copy at the time.   however, still don't understand the administrators for the urb. saying they only last 5 years anyway.  

our original lawyer was assigned to us through the builders but has since retired and a new partner taken over. it is he that has checked with the town hall who says there is no CH.

it's all very frustrating but i don't think we will have any option but to pay.

 this is my first comment so forgive me if this has all been discussed before but did not find anything which answered all my questions.

can anyone advise me of the exact spanish legal requirements regarding this certificate when selling a house.  we bought our house new in 2001 on an urb of 165 houses and  our lawyer apparently has checked with Orihuela town hall and they say one was never issued.  

we are desperate to sell but estate agents are demanding this certificate now in order to do this.  our administrators for the urb say that even if we had had one issued on buying they need renewing after 5 years so we would have to have obtained a new one!

our lawyer says an architect would cost about 800euros.  i have supplied a schematic diagram which is authenticated by the builders when we bought the house - why won't the town hall accept this?  we cannot go  back to the builders as they went out of business a few years ago.  

really not sure what to do now but it looks as if we will have to pay the money if we want to sell.  grateful for any information.  i was interested to read a previous thread by the resident lawyer that it should be free!  thanks Gina
