I am purchasing a property in La Marina, it has had an additional floor built above it, before I buy it, I want to ensure that it was built with planning permission, so I have asked the person doing the conveyancing if she can forward me a copy of whatever document confirms the extension is legal.
Today I received this reply:- "
Hi Peter,
The owners are going to add the extension on the deeds (prior you buying but on the same document) and the Notary wouldn’t sign for it if it was not legal and did not have the right paperwork.
I have done the checkings and the house is free of charges and up-to-date on Suma, water and electricity payments. But the Notary always checks before signing as well.
Unfortunately, I cannot show you any documents into someone else’s name due to the Protection of Data Law.
I wouldn’t be asking to set a date without confirming that all documents are in place.
If that’s ok with you, please transfer the money over to Spain as the vendors are going back home as soon as we complete.Does this sound valid?, that I cannot see evidence that the extension is legal because of the data protection law?, and is it true the Notary wont sign unless its legal?
