Hi everyone. We currently have a property in Tenerife. We are thinking of selling and buying in vinuela area. Is there still a problem with illegal builds. We are thinking of a 3 bed villa. Is it a good idea to buy a resale property rather than a new build. This is the beginning of our search for info on the area. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Hi. My wife and I recently bought a villa over looking lake Vinuela and it is a beautiful area. I would highly recommend Essential Properties agents. They are based in Torre del Mar and proved very helpful. They could advise you
Good luck.
Many thanks for you reply. I will contact the agent for i fo. I hope you are enjoying being in the Viñuela area.

Hello Rh53,
The short answer to your question is yes there are hundreds of properties that are illegal, the explanation is complicated and the government is trying (not very hard) to sort this out. Always use a Spanish Lawyer (probably better out of the immediate area) and do not consider a property where the agency or vendor says they will obtain an AFO to make the property legal for you. It does not make the property legal it only recognizes that the property is there it does not legalise the property.
Take care with this
regards Bill

Yes it s regularisation what means not illegal anymore ,but not legalised ( yet) .

Hi different48. Please be aware that an AFO does not mean the property is Legal. It is still illegal but recognised. Should the Junta de Andalucia decide to issue a penalty fine in the future you have to pay it. Regards Bill
