New to the area and looking for help!

Hi my name is joseph. 

Yes the problem with Marquesado as with some other areas of chiclana, is that there has been construction of houses which have not been zoned as contructable. 

Hi, you need to make sure any property you purchase is legal. There are many beautiful properties here that are not and you could purchase and have the horror if it being demolished. Your solicitor should check all this out for you. Good luck! 

Thank you for your reply. We've since spoken to a couple of British agent based here Glynn and Jamal and found out about the pitfalls. Viewing a couple of properties this week. Now need to find a good local solicitor who speaks reasonable English and is good at navigating the rustic / urbanised / division etc Any suggestions please ?

Hi both of you, we bought in Marquesado in 2018, best decision we have ever done. Just applying for residency to go full time.

If you want any help let us know.  In a short time we have found some useful contacts.

Regards Chris and Sharon.

Thank you guys. Would love to perhaps get some contacts and some pitfall advice from you. Will send you a DM tomorrow. Thanks again

Temple Cambrian in Conil are great and speak English.

Morning Mike and Caroline,

My Spanish wife and I have an Architectural Practice base in Chiclana, (Concept Architectural Workshop) and we can guide you both through any tricky planning or legal aspects of your property journey. Chiclana can be a mine field at the best of times, in terms of locating a property that is urbanised or is constructed within the compliant planning legislation. However, a word of caution, Recently (past 4 weeks) the current 2020 'Urban Plan' for Chiclana was recently rejected by the courts, (failed) meaning as the local council have to now refer back to their 1986 Urban plan for reference, with many properties, sites, that were only recently considered urbanised, and now considered 'Rustic' non compliant. This has left many of our clients with beautiful properties now located on Rustic 'campo' land and will remain like that until a time that Chiclana council update and issue an Addendum urban plan for the Chcilana area.

Naturally if you have any queries, we would be more than happy to assist and thus, can contact us on:

We bought here recently, in May. Our solicitor was brilliant. Speaks perfect English and he's local so understands the pitfalls. He gave us a breakdown of costs before we engaged him. Juan del Rio. 696524379. Office is in Puerto Santa Maria

Thanks Jools, really appreciate all of the feedback received through this forum to date. Some very useful contacts gained.

Looks like we will have to raise more money to find what we want where we want it so will come back again in the Spring once we're able to.

Thanks again

Mike
