Having re- read your reply - the fact that those of us that have completed on our apartments have actually occupied them, does this mean that any legal proceeding by us to re- cuop any monies is null and void? Also who would we be claiming against as the developer has gone in administration? The fact is we were all told that the licence was all OK - in basic terms - we were lied to. our banks are also at fault as they should not have issued us with the mortgage knowing the FOL wasn't in place.

 

It is all very confusing for us as this would not be allowed to happen in the UK.

Thank you all for your replies - and I know with most places you can still sell the property but we have been told we can't. alos the grounds are getting in such a bad state no one would want to buy my apartment!! there are only 25% of the apartments sold this means that the management fees dont cover the cost of electricity , water and maintenence of the grounds and the buildings.

The interesting bit is the legal quote from Maria - thank you for taking the time to send this - however when you speak to any lawyer in Spain they dont want to get involved and the cost of maybe even trying to go this route and get no result is just too high.

Regards

Hi

I am in the same position - I own an apartment in Marbella area and it has no LFO. can you tell me if I am within my rights to write to the town hall to say I will not pay IBI or wealth and income tax as my property is not legal?

I have a very small mortgage on the property ( and a lot of cash invested in it) so I would like to avoid handing it back to the bank but it seems to be a waste of time keeping it as it appears we will never get the LFO and I am not allowed to re-sell the property. It is very frustrating and confusing.

Thanks

Pamela
