It’s all coming to a head:
Green Hills (case lost) and Los Lagos (case won) – confusion on the Costa del Sol after two judges gave opposing rulings regarding the purchase of illegally built homes.
A court in Marbella has ruled in favour of the buyers of a flat (Los Lagos) built with an illegal licence and without a escritura.
Now the Málaga Provincial Court will have to decide a common ruling for both cases. Judicial sources think that there are hundreds more similar cases still to be heard in the courts of Marbella.
