We are horrified at what is happening out there and obviously hope the lady involved in the mugging is recovering from what must have been an awful ordeal. We have been strongly advised by our spanish lawyer not to complete until the first occupation certificate (which I believe is the same as the habitation certificate) is received and certainly the recent events including the utility bills suggest that this advice is sound. From afar it seems to us that these latest events should be used to try and pressurise the Town Hall into expediting the granting of the habitation certificate. They surely cannot be comfortable with the current situation if they have any scruples particularly if the police have been made aware of the "mugging" and earlier robberies. This may be a naive view and we have the utmost sympathy for those who have completed. However surely we should all be trying to use these events to put pressure on the two parties i.e. the developers and the Town Hall who between them have and are causing so much misery and frustration for all current and prospective residents.
