Hi nen,

The whole thing is crazy but unfortunately the law changed last November and since then no cedula's have been issued for rural properties.

Although you have a vivienda sitting on urban land, if the land surrounding the house is rustic then the house is still termed as rustic.  Our house is also 'urban' in that the footprint of the house is listed as urban on the catastral, however the surrounding land is rustic and this is where the problem lies with the new law.

However there is one ray of hope for any rustic property that can be proved to have been built before 11 August 1984.  There is now authority to issue cedula's for these properties but town hall's are still waiting for clarification from habitatge as to what documentation they need to issue.  This clarification was due at the end of June but it still hasn't been issued and until it is the town halls cannot issue the document needed for the cedula application to be submitted.

You are probably in a good position if you can prove your house was built before 1984 but until habitatge issue the guidelines for town hall's nothing can be done.

I hope this helps.

i have also contacted itv homes from hell about my situation with the dodgy estate agent and my illegal build in the ebro valley that i was told would be ok to build, coincidentally which was built by the estate agents partner,the land also was previously owned by said agent.
my story would make for some interesting television thats for sure,i have already had a reply back from the tv company about my story,
its about time the dodgy dealings in that area were exposed,the more people that contact them the better chance we have of getting some airplay,they seem keen .

Ritaratbag:   why pay someone to tell you that you cannot get a cedula until habitatge has released terms and conditions to the town halls?

hi,yes mine was built near that village with the permissions from the town hall,the mayor even came out to the land before i actually signed for it and reassured me all was well otherwise i would have run a mile,what a disaster that has been for the last 4 yrs,and still no progress ,i will be dead and gone before anything happens with that and i am still only in my forties,i worked for yrs to pay for my nightmare in the sun.

We are also in that village, we did not leave our brains at the airport like a lot of people think.  We bought off an Agent that was born and bred in the village, not someone that was going to disappear overnight, we did not ask the man behind the bar if it was ok to build we got permission from the Mayor (who is the Catalan government representative) we were told that what the agent was telling us was all correct.  The agent even walked the land and suggested where the best place on the land to build a HOUSE not a barn. If they had explained that we could only get a licence for a barn they naturally we would not have bought the land but that would have been no comission for him.  I believe they are still telling everyone that by the end of the year all will be well in the village as the ex Mayor will again be in office and land sales etc will be up and running again!!!!!!!  But if you check the local Ajuntament posting on the internet you will see they are still cancelling peoples licences that were issued by the previous mayor.  It would be internesting to know just how many thousand euros of Brits money has gone into that village, have you noticed over the years how many locals have new vehicles and renovated houses.

Why is no one allowed to say the name of the village,which has the now illegal built houses,allthough there must be numerous villages in the area with the same problem ?
I was also told the same story,probably by the same local born and bred Estate agent,who still insists today that it will be possible to obtain the necessary building permission.
She has done so herself,on local Rural land,with NO apparent problem and certainly not the nightmare everyone else seems to have purchased !
