Especially point 5 FIVE.

Marta Andreasen gives Zapatero another ear bashing - Go Marta!! Go UKIP!!

http://www.typicallyspanish.com/news/publish/article_26637.shtml

If anyone wants to write to Marta about the cedula nightmare the best person to contact is Andrew Kinsman who is her parliamentary assistant and is currently updating a database on Spanish property issues. Debbie at the Olive Press has made him aware of the issue (details in this months magazine) and I spoke to him yesterday and sent more details including the blog.

His email is:

'eye on spain article',  Zapatero does look scarily like Mr Bean here! Oh, sorry, it is Mr Bean!

Seriously though, I agree with a lot of what is written but the scare-mongering about Spain being at risk of losing its democracy is just ridiculous! When you have waited so long for such a thing you are not going to let it go lightly and Spain is in the EU now! Anyway, one of the reasons Franco managed to get in and hang on to power for so long was that Europe and the world ( and yes, the UK government , turned a blind eye until the very day he died. ) I'm not saying Spain won't break up into Nation states, though that would have to be reflected in the public vote.
Anyway, for now, Viva La Democracia!!!

Good news - I think.

Some friends of ours finally received their cedula yesterday.

So there is a way - it is just finding it that is the trick

Merriman:
Could you give more details please.  Unfortunately there's no trick.  Unless the house AND land are urbanised or it has an original building license (this is not the same as a Declaracion de Obra Nueva) cedula's are still not being issued.  In fact the town halls are still waiting for instructions from Habitatge as to how to proceed with the issue of initial certificates that are then sent to Habitatge with the cedula de habitabilidad application.  These instructions were due at the end of June following the API/Carme Trilla meeting, but it's been 'manana' ever since.

Unfortunately I don't think this is what it seems, unless they have an original building license. It may be that they have the initial certificate (also called a cedula, but not a cedula de habitabilidad) from the town hall.
