Land Registry Issues
Our friends own a house in Oria and when they tried to pay IBI the year after buying it they learned the land measurement was inaccurate, the vendor had underestimated it to avoid paying a small amount in tax, the nice lady in the Tax Office advised how they could correct this, they paid about Euro 3500 to a Notary, had the land re-measured and employed a Topographer to do it, they then paid Euro 3500 to have an AFO completed by a qualified Surveyor, they did this to ensure the new owner would not encounter the problems they did. They received an offer, their abogado is telling them the land measurement was never changed, wait for this one, it is a new law and if you changed the land sizes prior to 2015 you need to re-do it, re-pay and it will take at least 6 months, they have copies of all the receipts stating the correct land measurements, has anyone else experienced this latest Spanish earner, ironically they have all the receipts and confirmation the land registry office changed it, help would be appreciated
