I have 2 properties on the same urbanization. One is a 2 bed apartment and the other is a an end of terrace house with garden.

The IBI on the apartment is 150 and while I would expect IBI on the house to be higher, it is 4.5 times higher at 660.

I know IBI is calculated of the Valor Cadastral but I don't understand such a huge difference. Apartment is 50 sq m and house about 100 sq on plot about 250 sq m. Both were built at the same time. I bought apartment in 2004 and house in 2007.

Speaking to neighbours with similar sized plots, their IBI is about 400. Is there any way I can investigate why the IBI on my house is so high,?

Thanks,

Sean

I did PM to Maria after my last post. Thing is she is in Algeciras and I'm in Ireland (Nerja, when I'm in Spain). Am travelling there in December and hope to make some progress with someone then.

Problem is though that I am now looking at selling the apartment, so while the debt appears on their books they will not be able to say that it is debt free.

Are any of you lawyers, preferably Malaga or east of Malaga? I am looking for someone to clear this matter up for me once and for all but more importantly I am looking at suing a developer - they have not got the building licence on a development and while they have said they would pay me back my deposit they keep deferring the repayment date. They have bounced 2 cheques. I can PM the developer name but you probably already know who they are. How hard would it be to get their assets frozen?

Rixxy,

The cert is on the file - I have the file. It is signed and stamped by the administrator.... Doesn't seem to matter. I have referred to my lawyer but nothing seems to be happening. He said he would write to them but no answer from him when I follow up.

I bought an apartment in 2004. The escritura indicated that all community fees were paid and that there were no debts.

Yet after moving in and getting my first statement there were arrears of €1,400 going back what seems to be 3-4 years.

I raised this with the administrator of the development (well with his staff as he is like Lord Lucan) and his staff said that they would look into it and despite following up several times it has fallen into a black hole. Things are made worse now as the community voted to get rid of this administrator,  so of course the new administrator is showing this debt and the old administrator will have nothing to do with it now.

In my opinion the old administrator is liable because either there is no debt, or there is a debt in which case the letter of no debts should not have been issued.

I have been told by the new administrator that I need to pay and claim the money back from the old administrator. I am wondering if there any point in bringing the old administrator to court as it seems that court decisions are useless in Spain as there seems to be no penalty for not complying with a court order. Has anyone got any suggestions?
