Los Verdes (the Green Party) have already indicated that the lack of a Habitation Certificate (Cedula) is a recurring problem in the Orihuela Municipality.
So far we have already received information showing that about 1.500 houses are affected. In addition, Presidents of Urbanisations have also contacted us.
We post some of the most representative replies:
Hello
My name is xxx and I am the President of xxx.
I have just read the information you have placed in the local newspaper and I speak on behalf of our whole community.
Last year other urbanisations received their habitation certificates and their properties were released after our urbanisation, when I challenged this with San Antonio in Villamartin, being the builder of our urbanisation, I was told that the information was given to the Town Hall in Playa Flamenca and that they had made the mistake of issuing other releases before ours, our community has an escritura, but not actual certificates for individual properties.
There are 170 properties on xxx and I believe only one has their certificate simply because he paid ?? Euros to have it fast tracked through the system.
I am also a co-ordinator for xxx with Vecinos Colaborando and took the opportunity of asking Stefan Pokroppa at the Town Hall to look into why our certificates were taking so long to be ready, but had no reply from him on this subject.
What I would now like to know is what happens from here? plus what information do you require from me as a president and property owner on xxx.
I await your reply.
Kind Regards
Further to your article in the Coastrider Edition 283, I would like to provide you details of our Urbanisation as follows:
LA SAGRA 1
CALLE LEMAN
LAGOSOL
03189 ORIHUELA COSTA
ALICANTE
The urbanisation consists of 9no. properties which were all sold prior to April 2004.
We have all been on our own Electric Supply since August 2004, but we are still on Builders Water supply and we do not have Habitation Certificates.
The builder is: MEDITERRANEO BEACH S.A.
Have read the article in todays Coastrider regarding the above with great interest.
I am from Bosque de Las Lomas III at El Galan, Orihuela Costa.
The urbanisation is a Tecnologia built community and of course they have abandoned us leaving unfinished properties, large debts, and still on builders electric and water that we are now having to pay for.
We do not have a habitation certificate and the Town Hall is unco-operative and totally unsympathetic to our situation. They refuse to put in writing what we need to do to bring the urbanisation up to a minimum standard to gain the certificate.
The urbanisation consists of 137 dwellings of which only 70 have been sold. Neither the urbanisation nor individual houses have habitation certificates. Because of this we are also unable to get insurance for the community as we have been informed by the largest Insurance Company in Spain that they would not meet any claim because of the lack of this certificate.
Any help or advise you may be able to offer would be appreciated.
Regards
Dear Sir or madam
I am replying to you having read a recent article from you regarding communities without habitation certificates.
My name is Mr XXX and have a property at Bosque De Las Lomas III, El Galan. I purchased the property 5 years ago, we on our urbanistion have been (as have many more in Spain) let down by the builder having disappeared without completion of the urbanisation. Thus we are having great problems gaining habitation certificate for the urbanisation. We have formed a committee and are trying to complete work we have been told is required then we can get the certificate - unfortunately the list of work changes every time we go back to them.
My personal concerns is although I have my deeds (many on the urbanisation have not) your article states that we need both certificate and deeds if we want to sell at some stage.
It is fairly clear that the builder (Technologia) will not be returning.
Is there anything I and our fellow owners on the urbanisation can do in order to obtain habitation and therefore give us peace of mind and feel as we belong
regards
Further to your editorial in the Coastrider our property does not have a Habitation Certificate.
We completed the purchase in February 2001 (new build) through Playas de Orihuela and eventually received our escitura in 2007.
We have had electricity and water contracts since completion of purchase and have obtained NIE, SIP cards, Residency certificates and Spanish driving licence.
However, we have never paid Town Hall rates and understand that some 50 properties on our urbanisation of 157 are in the same position.
Although we have the deeds we know that selling in the future could be a problem without the Habitation Certificate and are anxious to get this resolved.
Regards.

Reference the article in Coastrider 7th July 2009 re the above subject.
I wish to advise you that Costa Dorada III Fase I (total of 49 Townhouses) do NOT have their Cedual de Habitabilidad.
We have water and electricy contracts and have paid SUMA since 2006, plus having to pay in retrospect for 2003, 2004, 2005.
(I also believe that Costa Dorada I (seven houses) and Costa Dorada II (19 houses) do not have theirs either. You may hear from them but the President of Costa Dorada II is not a resident)
May I congratulate Los Verdes on taking the initiative in campaigning for these certificates.
I do get upset to read of the infighting between the political parties. Obviously each party have what they consider their priorities. In an ideal world all the residents of Orihuela Costa would like to see Sports Centres, more green areas etc.
Personnally I consider the priorities to campaign for these certificates (even if the criteria has to be changed). It is important that everyone should water and electricity and not held to ransom by the utility companies. This should be a right irrespective of whether or not the urbanisations are finished or not.
The next priority is to clean up the whole of the Costa, by demolishing unfinished buildings and removing the unslightly 'skeletons' of buildings. This would immediately enhance the area, and hopefully encourage all the people who litter the area dispose of their rubbish in the proper containers.'
Once this has happened then request the luxuries of leisure centres etc.
Hola My name is Mr XXX my mobile phone number is xxx, I bought a property from Tecnologia Urbanistica in 2005 on Bosque de las Lomas, bloque 2 number x calle azores Las filipinas oeste orihuela costa we are still waiting for our habitation certiticate as is the rest of the urbination consisting of over 100 properties.We do have a comittee and president and i think the president has been or will be in touch with you soon as we all wish for our properties to be legal.

Dear Sir
I am one of the unfortunate owners who cannot obtain a habitation certificate in the Orihuela Costa area, due to our builder (Technologia) not completing our urbanisation, and leaving the area unfinished.
My name is XXX, and address is, Bosque de las Lomas 3, El Galan.
I fully support your campaign to urge the government to force these criminal builders to live up to their responsibilities, and complete their building projects, or at least use the deposits that they are supposed to leave with the local authorities, which are there to cater for just this kind of situation.
Please contact me by email should you require any further information from me regarding this matter.
Yours truly,
Dear Sir/Madam
We are replying to your recent article regarding communities without Habitation Certificates and properties still without Title Deeds.
We purchased our property at No x Bosque de las Lomas III, El Galan, 5 years ago through Atlas and we are still without our Title Deeds and our urbanisation still does not have the Habitation Certificate.
Our solicitors do not seem to be making any progress with obtaining our Deeds and our committee on the urbanisation are doing everything possible to complete the necessary work (at more expense to house owners) to get the Habitation Certificate but without much success.
We understand that we are in a similar situation to many others and any assistance that you can give would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Hi
In response to your article in Coast Rider, we are among the many with no habitation certificates.
We fought for four years fpr our title deeds, only recieving them after paying more than three thousand euros for builders interest on their mortgage they had secured on our property after we had paid for it. ( We did not have a Spanish mortgage)
Our property is at Bosque De Las Lomas 2.
Builders are Technologia.
I live in Bosque de Las Lomas 1 in Orihuela Costa and we have been promised out HC's by the town hall for over a year. We have completed all the work left by the builder but the town hall consistently 'move the goalposts' by demanding that we do more and more before out certificates will be approved. We believe that the certs are at the town hall although they say that they are waiting for the builder. The latest is that they want us to renew all the broken pavements surrounding the urb., which were already broken when they were originally laid by the builder.
