ParticipantA purchaser at Los Lagos in Elviria, on Santa Maria Golf course (outside Marbella) has just been refused a mortgage by a big Spanish bank on the grounds of… (see below).
Going by the first line, it looks like there exists a ‘serious breach of the urbanistic law’.
Does this mean that a) the development has not complied with the original building licence, or b) that the development itself is built on land not complying with the PGOU plan of 1986?Any help/advice appreciated, as I know of two purchasers who are being “asked” to complete without a LFO – correction: they “have” an LFO through Administrative Silence 🙄
C.1.U.A: INFRACCIÓN URBANÍSTICA GRAVE
SEGÚN EL PGOU DEL 86 ES SUELO URBANIZABLE PROGRAMADO DE USO RESIDENCIAL. EN EL PLANO DE LICENCIAS NO AJUSTADAS AL PLANEAMIENTO DEL AVANCE FIGURA COMO INFRACCIÓN 675: TIPO 3. SE AUTORIZA DE FORMA ANTICIPADA EN SUELO URBANO O URBANIZABLE SUJETO A PLANEAMIENTO DE DESARROLLO Y A PROCESOS RESDISTRIBUIDOS DE CARÁCTER INTEGRADO.DEBIDO AL INCUMPLIEMIENTO URBANÍSTICO DETECTADO, SE CONDICIONA EL VALOR DE TASACIÓN A QUE SE APORTE DOCUMENTACIÓN ACREDITATIVA DE LA LEGALIDAD DEL INMUEBLE, YA QUE , DE LO CONTRARIO, EL VALOR DE TASACIÓN SE VERÍA AFECTADO.
Any good Spanish speakers out there (Dorothy??) who can elaborate?
Or any lawyers out there (who are not on holiday… 8) ) who can help?Barbara

ParticipantI have a very good friend who is buying there and has been told by the solicitor not to sign until they have a LFO (not a AS LFO by the way.) He also had a meeting with his estate agent and Eralia and was told there is no pressure to sign as they are confident they will have a LFO, which they expect soon.
Clearly this is very interesting although it looks to me that the bank are saying there may be a deviation from the building licence they where given and until this is rectified (i.e. the licence is amended), there is no mortgage, as this could (of course it could) effect the value of the property.
Can’t wait to see the full translation!

ParticipantI think what is needed is for the bank to translate this into plain spanish or english. My friend who is a very good spanish speaker can´t make head nor tail of it. She can translate the words, but what they mean is another thing. 🙄 Typical of these kind of documents.

ParticipantBank are now saying ok to go ahead and the reason they are now giving is that they have lent to other purchasers of Los Lagos????
I understand that other banks have also lent but Ihave not checked this
Has anyone else had Spanish mortgage agreedI have asked for an explanation for the terms in the valuation from the bank and will comment on the forum once these are forthcoming. They have advised they will contact their own internal legal dept
I keep checking the forum and hope that one of us will soon have an update from the town hall as to current status of both developments which should help

ParticipantYou don’t need me to tell you Karen as you work for a bank, (but I will!), If it all goes horribly wrong, you are still liable for the mortgage repayments and the bank can forclose on you. They take no chances. their a**** are covered.

ParticipantKaren hi- Is your bank lending on the purchase price or have they valued it at a lower price, since they said in their report that the violation could affect the value of the property? Interesting that they suddenly did a U turn 😮

ParticipantBank mtge is now agreed subject to conditions
Bank not responsible for legality and any compnnesation paid from developer or town hall is repaid off mtgeFreinds of mine are out on CDS at present and advise about 70 appts look like they are being used
Generally site looks very nice with pool area exceptionaly good and life guard on duty
They talked to residents – 2 people at pool who are generally pleased and they advise they now are connected to main supply for electricity and water next week _ that would appear to be a good signMy solicitor advises we are very close to having first occupancy licences BUT I TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED and will wait to see as i understand this info has come from the developer

ParticipantFurther to my post yesterday can a legal expert answer a quick question
My understanding is that electricty and water are not connected until after first occupancy licences are in place.
This are not in place yet for los lagos so why is electricity now provided by main supplier with water we are told to follow next week
Does this bode wellThanks

ParticipantThat is my understanding as well. Perhaps the supply companies are accepting “solicitud provisional lic. de primera ocupación”. Who knows ?
In other parts of Spain they hook you up without a LFO. It is illegal, but they do it.
In any case If the development is illegal they could remove the supply at a later date.

ParticipantYes about 330 across 2 phases.
I have been told that quite a few investors bought and there are about 12 left off the developer and if you look at property web sites particularly OE
there are many resales
Prices are higher than original prices in fact bank valued ours more than original price paid in 03. However when you take into account agents fees interest etc any profit is very wiped out -
