The electricity company, Endesa, has been sending out letters to the owners of ‘irregular properties with temporary electricity metres. The letter states that the Mijas property owners have 30 days to present documentation to the Mijas Town Hall on the legality of their property or their supply could be affected.

The Mijas Town Hall has reacted by asking Endesa to withdraw this current policy until the process of legalisation of such properties is complete. The New Councillor for Town Planning, Manuel Navarro has stated that “the owners of these homes are victims of a bad municipal system and shouldn’t have to pay the consequences,”. It was recently announced that a new office is to open in Mijas Pueblo dedicated to fixing the ‘irregular’ housing problem.
