Installation costs of electricity

lamahomebird, if you are serious about buying a rural property the first thing you need to do is stop asking questions here and get yourself a decent lawyer, who specialises in rural properties and not one suggested by the owners or any sales agent, which will cost you money

Next you start with the deeds, is the property on the land the same as what os on the deeds, is the land registered,is the property LEGAL, i have seen deeds where they say that there is a 2 bed property of 59 sq mts on and actually a 4 bed had been built, this property would be ilegal

Next I spoke to a client I had in Torrremendo in a similar situation and Iberdrolla wanted, subject site survey they quoted €30 euro per metre plus €400 for the meter

Before any company  will connect they need 2 things the first is the bulletin, this is a document produced by an licenced electrician that shows the installation meets the required standards to the connected to mains electricity. The next document is a certificate of habitation, agian no COH no connection

The only way to check the water is to employ a surveyor, again more money who can get the water tested and look at the deposit

Based howvever on the information that you have provided I would stay well away from this type of property unless you have the assistance of a good professional

I just wanted to give a big thank you to everyone who provided all the information relating to this subject.

I am particularly grateful to inspectahomespain and floetta - your information  gave me the guidance and clarity I needed.

Thank you so much

Just wondered what you are planning to do now

Electricity instalation. Having purchased a property 10 years ago, this story is totally true. the Builder ceased to trade just one month after we completed, Left several things un finished one of which was the electrical supply meter for each apartment which ment the supply was shared with the whole building, all the purchasers paid €900 in cash for the utility Meters to be installed BUT the builder failed to do this. So many Reasons, last one because he did not have a site for the Transformer. The cost to the purchasers was a high community fee to get this work completed. Now 10 years later we have been prominsed that the Transformer has a site at the cost of €80+ k. this information we were given last year of 2017. Now march 2018 and the work is expected very soon. all the purchasers has everything crossed to be able to control the cost of the electric we use.  Which should then reduce the Comunity fee to the correct level.
