Spoke to Taray today about our hbitation licence. They reckon that they applied for it at the beginning of March and it will take about 4 months. Has anybody else been told the same? After relaying this to Parador they can't believe that they said it would be that long.

Who's tellin porkies.

Has anybody received there certificate of habitation? And can someone explain whot the padron is.

If you want to get your Padron, which is similar as the voters roll in England, you can get one without a habitation certificate.

If you speak to Taray they will give you a letter confirming you own the property and are living here. Take that along with your passport and photocopies, your nie number and your deeds to Torre Pacheco Town Hall and they will then process your padron. It normally takes a few days but once you have it you can apply for residencia which will give you a lot more benefits. including better banking rates.

Re Taray's letter, this may not be quite as simple as it sounds. In theory it is correct but it may depend which part of the development you live on. In our case when we followed this procedure two weeks ago, we found that some streets, ours included ( Calle Vizconde de Ros) are not on the map of the development held at Torre Pacheco. We were told we would have to wait another month. Our friend, Cynthia, who lives on Calle Jose Sanchez Lozano got her certificate there and then
