How very fitting that your user name is "fergusonsfolly"! Better start preparing for your Darwin Award.

Didn't Chris Bryant set something up with the Spanish property experts from the Junta/Generalitat and the Brit consuls in Malaga and Alicante?

No? - maybe the elections changed things. You could nevertheless give the consul a call...
Otherwise - and as a general rule - why put yourself into a position of doubt? There are 200,000 'viviendas ilegales' in AndalucĂ­a alone (according to the ABC Spanish daily).

... and according to our local surveyor, 95% of the properties in the Valencian campo are illegal ...

Hallejulah - I have seen the light !
Thanks to all posters offering advice regarding my purchase and the lack of a 1st Occupation Licence, I have now withdrawn from the purchase.

I know I should not say this, but I do feel sorry for the old couple who are trying to sell the property. I suspect that when they bought the property five years ago, they did not appreciate the problems that not having a 1st occupation licence would present in the future.

I feel sorry for you, but you've done the right thing. Dunno if you've been following the other thread going on about illegal builds, but its seems you need to be 110% sure before you go ahead. Keep looking, something better will come along

Good it will turn out for the best.

And good that you are a nice guy and feel sorry for the old folks trying to sell the property, because it is not a nice situation to be in for them.

Well done you - obviously the right property is just around the corner. All things happen for a reason

A huge ammount of campo houses are actually registered as tool sheds and are built no better!
If the deeds show a dwelling thats a different matter.
