As you are not legally permitted to live in a property that has no certificate (& you should not be connected either to mains water or electricity), I would NEVER buy a property without one & the buyer's solicitor should insist the property has it!

Sorry if I have offended you but people who are not aware of laws and are new to the regulations here may take this rule for ALL properties which is not the case!

As I work in rustic properties only then you can imagine how much harder this makes my already hard job!

No hard feelings, I hope you understand where I am coing from, I have sold over a 100 rustic properties many if not the majority with no CofH with no problems to date, 6 years later !

Its should noted that if this is for urban property then cedula, yes but not always so with rustic properties that have water and electric older than 5 years!

Hi all...

Mandy is right if you are going to stay in Spain for longer than 3 months it is now law to apply for the residence certificate, it does not mean you are a permenant resident as you could just spend 3 months and one day here!

Hi Sandibaby

If you have a contract which stated your property should be ready and its going to be delayed over 3 months after that date you might have a case against the company to get all your money back and interest, 5 years with any of your money is outrageous... check your contract, your arguement may be with the builder and not the agent check on that too and get legal advice.

Good luck
