EXPAT homeowners who lost everything in devastating fires that ripped through the Costa Del Sol could be forced to wait years to rebuild their lives.
Three months on from Malaga’s worst ever fire – which damaged hundreds of homes and thousands of acres of land – many victims are still homeless and struggling to get the green light to start building work.
Because of a new law, introduced last year to regulate properties which had been built on land not originally designated for construction, homeowners must seek a special building permit from the town hall.
In turn, the town council then needs to seek approval from the Junta.
Pat Laing, originally from Manchester, is helping to launch a campaign to put pressure on the Mijas Town Hall and the government.
