HI,
Just wondering if anyone could give me a small bit of advise if you have any idea or experience of what I going to explain.
Recently purchased apartment... All paperwork done.. Happy Days.
The only issue was that the previous owner had "hot wired" the apartment into next doors supply. Therefore no meter!
Our lawyer and estate agent both insisted this would be easy enough to correct and not to worry.
We knew that we would need to get a boletin and meter sorted so on advise of lawyer we organised all this. We got an electrician recommended by soliciter and decided to get all wiring check and replaced. Job done happy days we thought....
However we have now been advised the following
"In order to register the electricity meter, we have to request a copy of the certificate of occupancy of the house, for that the Arona Town-Hall ask for a series of reportes that must be performed by an architect.
We requested a quotation and the cost would be between 1200 and 1400 .
It is important to remind that without the certificate of occupancy you can not be on the elecricity register"
Does this seem right to you, if not do you have any advise for me...
Does anyone know if it possible to get a replacement copy of the original certificate of occupancy which would of been issued when building was build first day.
Cheers
