Hello,
I was hoping someone on here might be able to give me some advice (pretty please!!). My dad was living in an apartment in Tenerife but he passed away in January 2013. Which means my sister and I have inherited his apartment. We paid the horrible inheritance tax but we've unintentionally buried our heads in the sand about everything else and so I've taken charge on trying to get it all sorted.
Neither of us live out in Tenerife or speak any Spanish so it is all a bit of a nightmare.
I Google translated some little notices about payment of my dad's IBI, it looks like it is overdue, we haven't changed over ownership or anything, we assumed our solicitor would have done that but clearly not. I found a phone number to call the Consorcio De Tributos in Los Cristianos but the person I spoke to didn't speak English. Does anyone know a number I can call to speak to someone in English to get the matter sorted? I have a friend over in Tenerife who is there for the next couple of days who could visit the Cultural Centre to pick up forms etc, but I'm not sure what I'd need. Is there a way of sorting it all without having to fly over to Tenerife as neither of us can fly over at the moment?
All advice welcome! Thank you.
