Basement construction

Hi Tom

Whatever your told do not go the non legal way.

You will be seriously in trouble with the local town hall and fined heavily, then when and if you ever want to sell, it will cost you a fortune in taxes that will be owed for increased area of accommodation not declared. The local town hall also send scouts out to view properties in random streets on a regular basis, then check if the property has had consent to do the work, there’s also the risk of the odd vocal neighbour.

If your going to have the work done seek legal advice before you start, it will save you money in the long run although may take a little longer to start off with.

We did a little research about doing an under build, and I would say stop! 

Get advice from the people who know... lady near us thought she did it the correct way.. but Spanish workers get away with saying they didnt understand you so be careful. She spent €15.000 then more than that to put it all back again, the builder a supposed reputable Spanish builder, is still on the run last I heard.

The above advice is good, then some.

Thank you Ray, much appreciated, and just as I thought, do things by the book.

Thank you Kim, really appreciate all the replies. Its heart warming that there are people like yourselves out there

willing to take the time to answer questions for  complete strangers regarding issues they may have on almost every

topic.

Thank you all again. Next trip is to the lawyer.

Certainly Ray.

The community AGM is on next month so for starters I have asked for an amendment to the agenda

to ask for "community permission" to go to the next stage.

Again thank you all for the solid advice.

Hi for information the height needs to be 2.5 for it to be legal.  also if you want living space and not storage it will depend on what your deeds say.

Have a word with Don Aluminio Builders they work with a great architect Sergio who managed our project.
