Query about property registration. Help!!
I recently joyously completed the payment (€22mil) on a small finca near Purchena. I had paid the initial €19 and then, in line with apparent regulations, had to wait a year to make the final €3000 and to have the escritura notarised and signed off.
The elderly sellers accrued the services of a local attorney in Olula del Rio, who arrived belatedly at the notaries and assisted us. After we all signed off the notary asked whether we'd like copies. I immediately started saying 'well yes?' when said attorney took the documents and said 'ill keep them'. After this he informed me that I would have only a month. To come to his office, in order to pay an extra €1000 for 'taxes'?
The experience left me feeling very uncomfortable and caught off guard and not to mention having to cut my holiday short to return in two weeks to pay him.
What happened here, and what options do I have in this??
Thank you!!
