Re: Does anyone live in the Jaen / Martos area?
Hi all,
Was suppose to be in my house on the 21st of Feb, but the electric wasn't switched on. My landlords maintenance man, was supposed to do it but now he's done a runner back to morocco. The electric company said they will send an email card? Which we still haven't received.
Our landlord has gone back to the UK for work, but his wife is trying to deal with all of this. We are staying an hours drive from Martos so can't go down there myself as I don't drive.
Does anyone know of any solution to get the electricity put back on ASAP?
Thank you!

Hi all, I have also just purchased a property last year and was not told anything about this, I will be picking up all my paperwork next month and will check with my legal person and see if I can get more information. If anyone else knows it would be great to get that information though? Hope we don't have to pay this.

Re: Does anyone live in the Jaen / Martos area?
Hi I've been looking to buy a property in Martos or the surrounding area for a while now and in relation to the queries regarding the huge tax bill mentioned in a post from wicklowjack I think it may be what some refer to as the bargain hunters tax. From what I can gather people receive this tax bill usually a year after completion on properties which the Spanish tax office deem have been sold well below their actual value, it's a theory anyway.
