Re: Chiclana - electric
It seems paperwork is irrelevent if you look how Marbella and many more council planners have been performing, nearly as many illegal builds as legal

Your Spanish must be excellent if you can read all this information for yourself about your land etc from the Escitura. I have had mine translated and officially stamped by an authorised Spanish to English translator and the information is nowhere near what I was told or not told originally by parties whom had a vested interest in the sale.
However I do hope all goes well for you as I would not wish my situation on anyone else.

Hello Mitzipurr
Good to see you posting again, I wondered if you were offline because of the electrics or worse, (or maybe you have been here all the time but I haven't seen your posts) but glad to see you are still up and fighting. I really hope your lawyer gets things sorted for you, I know it's been a long drawn out procedure. I know you were in contact with the same lawyer that I have at one time, are you still with him or is this a new lawyer who you are using now? I do wish you all the very best, your situation sounds truly appalling.

Hi Cindy
Good to hear from you again to. Yes I am still fighting. No not using the same lawyer (MT) he could not find anyone to handle the case in Chiclana would you believe it!!
Thank you for your best wishes. I will keep you up to speed with progress.

No my Spanish is non existent, but I was given an english translation of the standard part of the contract, and I can make sense of the Spanish, and the lawyer, the agent the owners and ourselves were there as he typed all the additional clauses that were neccessary. The Notario spoke excellent English and translated the documents again at the final signing. You can be assured that if I have any problems in the future and find that there was any shady dealing, I shall publish and name names on every website I can find, and any TV programme that I can get to listen. Let them sue me!! This is an ongoing thread I can see, and I am engaging as I find it fascinating to read about all this so called duping that is going on... similar to many of the foreigners who come to work in places like Canary Wharf and with lack of knowledge of the Docklands housing market are often sold overpriced properties. I believe the people who lost money because of the land grab laws in Valencia may finally get some justice in the European Courts.
Hi Poollounger.
The original lawyer recommended by the estate agent visited the house. After checking the plot size said "I am sorry I have made a mistake". His final solution after several visits to his office to try and sort this matter out was to advise me to sell the house. The estate agent has been nowhere near since I bought the property and has not helped in any way whatsoever. This is despite her website promising the earth in after sales care to any potential purchaser. She translated in front of the notario the contents of the escitura (or not) and signed this document as such. The plot has been divided into three horizontal parts this was allowed when my house was built.
I hope you have no problems but greatly admire your stance re naming people etc. I have also been approached by the media and could will take your attitude depending on the outcome of my case.

It's no great stance but just what I feel I would do if in a similar situation if I knew I had been duped. Am I right in thinking that she translated accurately what was in the escritura, but it never tallied with the actual plot?? Well this could be so for any of us, as I certainly haven't been around my perimeter with a tape measure and I doubt if she has.
It is certainly an interesting case, and unfortunately a distressing one for yourself. Thinking of it in English terms, I must say I don't think any solicitor involved with any purchase I know of has been to a property to check the room dimensions are as quoted on deeds, estate agents particulars etc, nor to check that boundary wall details are indeed being honoured. Surely the mortgage valuer should have checked this, or perhaps you were a cash buyer? Estate agents details in England always state that all details are provided in good faith and are not legally binding. Perhaps plot measurements in Spain are often an approximation. Am I right in assuming that your real dispute is with the neighbour who has contravened the deeds? Or are you infering that the agent and solicitor knew of the discrepancy but just pushed ahead to clinch the sale ?? Should you not be suing the neighbour ??
On a different note, most properties I looked at in Spain, and in February I looked at 23 on a visit, between Huelva and Estepa and south to Moron, were built without planning permission. I was told that this is often normal in new builds, and they are legalised retrospectively by an architect declaring they are five years old, in which case planning permission is a 'fait accompli'. I remember a wonderful house nestling in trees at Lucena del Porto near Huelva with a lovely pool, that had been on and off the market and was cheap. Was told it was now sold, the purchaser having raised the money in England. Another agent said it was possibly cheap because it was on agricultural land, and hence difficult to legalise and mortgage in Spain.
Another agent with a comprehensiive web site told me it was standard to bring a bag with E3000 to hand over to the vendor in rural areas to show ones goodwill and serious intent!!
The agent I used in Chiclana behaved scrupulously unless future events prove otherwise, everything being noted on the contract form, the initial E600, pending the remaining 10%being sent over etc etc, and has offered an excellent after sales service.
I can understand why so many buy on urbanisations, as it seems to be trouble free until one reads about unfinished pools and landscaping. Even in England there are many service charge disputes on similar style developments.
I wish you luck and hope you can sort it and then relax into life in Spain. I certainly wish I was still on he beach at Sancti Petri rather than back here in South London.

No she did not translate these details on the escitura. Had she done we would have walked away and not bought the property. When we viewed the property she told us the plot size was 1000 sq mt. In fact it is 720. On the escitura it is 1449. We pay IBI on 1449! Any estate agent worth his or her salt knows approx how much land a property has without having to measure it.

We were cash buyers so no bank was involved. However there was a exsisting mortgage of 108.000 euros on the property.

Plot sizes do vary slightly in Spain but only by a few meters not over 700!

My dispute is with anyone who is at fault be it agent solicitor or neighbour. However I have my suspicions who really is to blame for all the distress this has caused me.
Should you not be suing the neighbour ??
It could well come to that.

I have lived on the Costa del Sol on a urbanisation and it is far from trouble free even when it is established. My intention of buying a property in Chiclana was indeed to relax. I made one big mistake and trusted the wrong people.

Re: Chiclana - electric
Thats good poolounger, now you can stop worrying and sart enjoying your new home!
Glynis - I have checked my paperwork and at the back ok the Copia simple and somehere in the middle of the Escritura we got back from the Notary is a section entitled Nota informativa de Domino y De carga
It sets out when the Horizontal division was registered by the previous owners, it includes all the dates and details including a description of our house. It's dated about 18 months before we bought it.
When I registered for IBI at the Town Hall, I had to show them on the plan which was our house so they could register the correct one.

Hi poolounger,
On another track completely I don't see you as overweight more the sophisticated type by the pool G&T in hand and sunglasses firmly on taking the rays.
This post took me straight back to "O" level physics and a diagram in the text book of a "black body radiator". Thats 45yrs by the way. It showed a matt black sphere painted inside and out in matt black with a pin hole in the top. The theory went something like this, light energy would enter through the pin hole and generate heat on the inside but could not escape because there was no reflective surface to bounce it back out of the hole. Over time enough energy would enter to heat the sphere up to boil water. Sounds like the South African swimming pool could be based on good science. I shall have to investigate a deep blue turquoise pool myself.
Regards,
John.
PS. Short, stout and shabby myself.

Some friends of mine were the subjetc of a TV show choosing between houses in Devon and South Africa--they chose neither in the end--but one of the houses featured had a black pool, which apparently retains the heat better, hence it is warmer. We are looking at a lovely deep turquoise blue.

PVT me if you want the details of the builder I am probably going to use... he comes highly recommended by a local whose house he has almost re-built, and I saw a great pool he has built for someone in Marquesado.

Yes a GT on a hot day is perfection, but the chiringita on the beach near old Sancti Petri does a mean Caipirinha...Rum, limes, sugar syrup and loads of ice.... but keep it a secret.
