Affecting mainly rural properties as far as I know.

[admin]

People who own rural properties should check and see if they are what is known as "out of management". The   PIOF (plans and maps are on  the Cabildos website
http://www.cabildofuer.es/portal/ ) and they are also on view to the public until January 19th. You have an opportunity if this affects you to have your say before that date.
I have not read a lot about "out of management" properties but my understanding of it is that due to reclassification of land or at times no classification at all a lot of properties will have difficulty selling because Banks are not allowed to grant a mortgage to homes like this.

An article in La Provincia (badly translated by Google

....outside the law in the Insular Plan
Province 12/17/2014 | 22:33

The Popular Party (PP) yesterday began the campaign 'The PIOF People to People ", in order to explain to the residents of different municipalities majoreros Island Fuerteventura Management Plan (PIOT), which is currently under claims until next January 19. The Conservatives claim that hundreds of homes back to stay out of management with the document approved by the Cabildo de Fuerteventura.

Popular ensure that both the Government of the Canary Islands and the Cabildo majorero "want to further restrict the growth of rural settlements." They add that the PIOT, "slows the development of Fuerteventura where everything is forbidden, especially in the southern part of the island, where only you let them white floor so they can grow, as is the case of Great tarajal or Morro Jable ".

Popular believe that "it is time that majoreros speak out and tell what you think of the Insular Plan who drafted CC and PSOE". Explain the document without any political overtones and are the citizens who judge ".

Thanks, Fifi, for your post on this subject. I took a look at the link and trawled through some of the near one hundred documents! And I still do not understand what will be classed as 'Out of Management'.
In a nutshell, how can one check if a potential property purchase is likely to be affected? I understand the final check can be made by your lawyer, but you cannot use a lawyer at every viewing.
And what is going to happen to those that are reclassified? Will they be kicked out (eventually) or will they just lose services (basura, road maintenance,street lighting etc.?)
Or are you equally confused?
Thanks

Hi Archer, to be honest I dont know too much about it either other than it can mean that properties can be difficult to sell on. Whenever I see posts about things like this it reminds me of cases on mainland Spain where people have had their houses knocked down etc and that is the reason why I posted the La Provincia article. I dont know which areas have already had the land reclassified . It is something to watch though because it will effect hundreds of mainly rural properties. I guess if someone is thinking of buying one the thing to do would be to find out if the land has already been reclassified and if someone already owns in a rural area the thing to do would be to go to the Cabildo before the 19th and see if their property is likely to be affected. Sorry I cant be of more help. I just keep an eye on the news articles and post things that could possibly affect people who dont speak Spanish and dont know what is happening on the Island.

Thanks for your reply, Fifi. The problem is to find where to look for the facts.
This one's for you, Spike.... as an advocate of rural living, and being a resident of Tuineje, are you affected and do you know which areas are?
We have been looking to buy another property for nearly two years, and have been looking in the corridor between Tuineje and Gran Tarajal.
Any comments, Spike?
