 Hi there,

We stumbled into them when we bought through MRI, they acted on behalf of the agents and ourselves, naively at that time we didnt think to find a solicitor of our own.

Take a look at www.AngloINFO.com under the Almeria area you may come across somebody suitable.  Again you could ask on that website for any advice.

 

Good luck

Update

Two weeks ago I had the dreaded letter in our post box at Alta Entinas with a fine for the second bedroom. I had heard that the fine can be reduced if you dont contest it. Not true, if you do not agree with the amount,  which is based on an average size,  then they will come and take exact measurements which will then determine whether you pay more or less. I decided to pay it as knowing our luck it would be more.  I called into the town hall, the office where the fine is sorted is just across the road from the main building, two of the staff are American so can help sort it.

As far as paying for it  the only choice is either all up front or divided into six monthly payments.  The first payment has to be in cash at the offices and the others can be paid into the Cajamar bank.  They will give you the details and paperwork when you take the first installment in.   If they do not receive payment by the agreed date  they will add 10% and if the next date passes they will add a further 20% and the interest is added daily.

Hi Paul,

We have just had word from our solicitor in Roquetas that they have received notification from El Eljido town hall that we have had the extra bedroom put on.  They have asked for funds immediately to act on our behalf saying that the town hall could freeze our bank account and also take the apartment away from us?  Surely it wouldnt come to this?

We havent seen any letters as we dont live at the apartment.  This is the first time we have had any communication from anyone about the extension.  Did you ever receive your second letter that you expected in March? 

We dont know whether to just go to El Eljido on our own as hollie leslie did and see what they say:   As the roof was already there, and the floor was already there (plus the electrics already in place behind the walls!)  Also the wall is not load bearing surely we would not need architects drawings for it anyway, as its a minor works licence.

What are your thoughts?

 

Jane

As we are going to be using our apartment more we have decided to install freeview.  I believe its all wired up and ready to go. Can anyone recommend someone in Almerimar that could sort this for us in a day?

Thanks
