Can anyone advise me.

My house was built 32 Years ago. I purchased the house nine years ago. Two weeks ago I returned home from work to find my water meter had been removed. All bills were paid, but the contract was still in the original owners name. I am unable to change the name on the water contract as I cannot get a certificate of habitation because the house is classed as illegal as the land is rustica and I only have 4,000 square meters not 8,000 square meters. The original owner of the house for reasons unknown cancelled the water contract. I have now been without water for two weeks. Catch 22 situation without a certificate of habition I cannot have my water re-connect. Has anyone been in a simular situation?

Thanks

Caught a post ealier.

 

Unable to reply at the time.  Please do not sign for a house without a certificate of Habitation. I live in a 30 year old house in Crevillent.  Seven weeks ago my water meter and water supply was re-moved. The law of rustic properties in general Valancia sates that less than 10,000 sq meter plot is deemed illegal. I am unable to obtain a certificate of habitation and without one my 30 year old house will no longer receive a water supply.   Buyers beware!!!!!
