Hi Carla
HAbitation Certificates are issued by the Town Hall to confirm that the property is fit to be lived in, similar to the ones builders have to get on new properties in the UK. We had exactly the same problem as scouser when we completed on our appartment in the Jardines de Alhama in July. We got a call from our lawyers two days before we flew out to complete. Polaris World then had to pay for us to get a Power of Atorney set up though as we weren't going to be about when the completion went through.
The problem we were advised was that there is only one inspector who has to look at each individual property. He then does a report which is dicussed at a weekly meeting, only then will the Certificate be issued. I'm sure the wee man must be demented given the amount of properties Polaris try to complete on, hence the constant delays. It took an addition three weeks for our Certificate to come through, not sure how long the delay is at the moment.
If you check out the Jardine's Forum, we've been competing since about April so you can see some of the issues we've been having during the completion process.
Hope all goes well for you.
Ann
