No occupation licence so no tourism licence
Hi all I have had an offer accepted on a property in Mojacar Playa but found out it doesn't have an occupation licence which therefore means I can't get a tourism licence.
Itis a villa with its own private pool but in an older development of 7 villas with a shared driveway access.
The development was completed in 1988 the year before the town hall started keeping records for occupation licences.
I was advised I could hire a surveyor / architect to do a survey and issue a certificate of non infraction which then would enable me to obtain a tourism licence. This I have been told is possible if the property is a stand alone property but as this property is classed as being in a development all 7 villa owners would have to agree to the survey being done on all properties, accept the costs of this and the 1.3% fee of the property value. So this is never going to happen.
Therefore if I go ahead and buy this property I will have to accept I can only rent it out to friends and family and not commercially.
Has anyone else had this experience or anything similar?
Thanks Paul
