Hi Maria, hope you're good.
As we live in the UK & have our home Guardamar in Spain I think meeting will be difficult.
I help because of the problems we had ourselves in our purchase. In five years we learnt a lot.
Without you, many of our members would have no hope but you give those with problems great hope & a calmness, which is exactly what they need.

Good things will come out of that for sure!
You are a star!

And the agents for the site who is run by the daughter of Penaroyyo, has huge billboards advertising the sales of their properties INCLUDING a rentl guarantee! How can they do that when its not legal.
Very naughty and most agents wont touch them anymore!

Hope I'm on the right message board for this. The urbanization we bought on was supposed to have 3 phases. The 3rd has never been built and very unlikely it ever will be. We signed in Sept 04, our house being one of the last to be completed (3 years late). We have been paying council tax since 2005 but don't have a Certificate of Habitation. Some say it can't be issued until the urbanization is complete (phase 3), but this really isn't going to happen. What should we do to get this certificate?
Many thanks.

Dear Poppyseed:
The Certificate for Habitation is not something that you can get personally but needs to be issued by the Local Council to the developer if the project is revised and found according to the Work project they get the work license for.
Actually, it is not legal to live in a house without a First Occupation License and I would advise you to have proper documentation to prove that you are asking your developer to solve that problem for you.
The only possibility I see here, believe me, is to act for cancellation and refunding but if that unit is already your home, I can imagine how difficult that option can be for you.
How do you know that the FOL will never be granted? Do you have official information from the Local Council?
Best regards,
Maria

Dear Maria
Thank you very much for your reply. Our urbanization has been fully occupied for about 3 years now. We don't think the 3 phase will be built as the developers (under the name they built our development) are no longer in business. I don't think they have the money to build phase 3. I will check with the president of the urbanization to see what if anything is being done collectively.
Some owners did take the developer to court in December and 'denounced' him, but I haven't heard anything since. The Town Hall does hold a guarantee from the developer for the access road, but again I think the urbanization is considered unfinished. If the Town Hall decide to develop the road we understand we would have to make up any shortfall in cost. over and above the guarantee they hold. We are actually happy with the road as it is .
The lawyer we had was recommended by the agents Parador (who did not live up to their advertising claims at all and have now disappeared from the area leaving many unhappy people), he has since moved on and we've no idea where he is (probably with Parador somewhere!)
Thanks again.

NOtaries cannot authorise anymore purchase deeds without the FOL ( there is just one ans is definitive). So it is not a matter of you purchaser wanting or not a signing with no FOL but a matter of Law prohibiting Notaries to authorise the deeds without that requirement in place.

Hi Bill, if you're advising Poppyseed see her initial post .....
Hope I'm on the right message board for this. The urbanization we bought on was supposed to have 3 phases. The 3rd has never been built and very unlikely it ever will be. We signed in Sept 04, our house being one of the last to be completed (3 years late). We have been paying council tax since 2005 but don't have a Certificate of Habitation. Some say it can't be issued until the urbanization is complete (phase 3), but this really isn't going to happen. What should we do to get this certificate? Many thanks.
Poppyseed was just asking how she could get her certificate. She has completed already.
Of course, no one should complete without a certificate of habitation granted.
Seems so simple, doesn't it ?
NOT !!!

Thanks for your replies. Sorry for any confusion, it's hard being me sometimes!
We have completed and are paying council tax but don't have a FOL. Someone on the urbanization has said they 'think' a provisional FOL has been issued. A novel idea but i was just wondering whether anyone knew if it was just wishful thinking or whether there is such a thing as a provisional FOL.
Thanks again everyone.
Poppyseed

provisional = temporary, conditional. You either have a certificate surely or you don't. I can't think there'd be half measures.
