Private pool use
Hi
we have a villa and private pool . We had the poo, constructed and it has been added to our escritura . A long story but about two years ago had a sale that fell through . We have now accepted another offer and buyers are using same solicitor that was was acting for our previous buyers . ( that did not go well and we were seriously out of pocket due to this solicitor ) a whole other story .
Anyway the sale only fell through as buyers sale in uk fell through . All paperwork was and is in order . Now this same solicitor is asking we provide a Certificate of use for the pool ,. I have never heard of this , i do not know any other person selling been asked for this and we have plenty of friends sold recently .
Anyone heard of it ?

Re: Private pool use
I think these rules only apply to community pools or any that are accessible to the public. I have never heard of with a private pool.

The Antiquity Certificate is the document needed at the Notary to update the Title Deeds with any alterations introduced to the property, such as pools or extensions, done with or without a license. In the case of having done an extension or pool without a license, the Antiquity Certificate, frecuently known by the general public as “RETROSPECTIVE LICENCEâ€, is also very useful to guard against possible sanctions/fines, and to protect/state the legal situation of the property, in case the law would change.
In any case it’s highly recommended to avoid putting off potential buyers, due to the existence of undeclared buildings even if done with a license, to have your Antiquity Certficate ready. In the case that registration is not possible, the Antiquity Certificate serves to offer any potential buyer the maximum possible security against Townhall penalties.

Re: Private pool use
Hi
no i do nit mean that . Actually i was highly annoyed at myself as we applied for the licence for the pool ourselves , had it built . Stupidly i didnt have it put on the deed and when we went to do this , despite the fact we had a lucence we still had to employ an architect and he did it on the Antiquity certificate .

this link refers to the energy rating certifucate which is needed for a sale and yes we have that . Unless there us another section on poo,s which i can not see .
The best way i can explain it is , this " solicitor " if you can call her that is saying we need a licence to swim in our iwn pool?

Conveyancing lawyers seem to be quite lazy in general here and there is no standard conveyancing package that you would expect in the UK.
So yes from the sellers point of view it can be quite annoying when your buyers have a decent lawyer, but he is working to protect them, not you!
Perhaps the buyers of your friends place used the lazy lawyer suggested by the estate agent lol
You could ask him just to explain what it is he requires and why!

Re: Private pool use
It could be that they want the first habitation certificate. We had a pool and terracing built up on our roof terrace, and even though we had it done with a licence and it's a pool and didn't extend the property at all, we still had to get the first occupation certificate which makes that two for our property.

Re: Private pool use
Whatever it is, I would try my best to get it.
Do you really want to loose a sale for want of a trip to your town hall?
