Is it possible to report an illegal building anonymously in Moraira?

Surely throughout our lives as inhabitants of a house in Moraira we have found ourselves in some uncomfortable situation due to the presence of noise, knocks, vibrations, dust, etc. due to works being carried out on an adjoining property.

For this type of situation in particular, it is logical that we are concerned about the possibility of illegal building work being carried out in Moraira. Even more so if the force or intensity of the knocks and vibrations make us think that walls are being knocked down to modify the current layout of the house where the works are being carried out. This is when you consider reporting an illegal building work in Moraira.

 

Why is it so important to report illegal building work in Moraira?

The underlying danger in the demolition of vertical elements lies in the possibility that these walls being demolished are structural or load bearing elements, commonly known as "load bearing walls".

The demolition of these elements without technical supervision entails great danger, as it can lead to the appearance of cracks and fissures in adjoining dwellings and, in the most serious cases, the collapse of the supporting element (roof or floor slab).

 

Steps to follow to report illegal building work in Moraira

If you suspect an illegal building work in Moraira and you want to report it, these are the steps to follow:

Step 1: find out if the house in Moraira where the work is being carried out has the corresponding building permit or licence. It is compulsory that the printed document of the building permit is displayed for the neighbours to see, either stuck on the door or on the fence of the house in Moraira.

Step 2: If we do not find it on the door of the house or on the fence, we will ask the owner of the house in Moraira if he has the building permit, and if so, he will show us the document.

Step 3: In this step two situations can occur: 
That the owner shows us the building permit or not, in this second case we will continue with step 4.

Step 4: We suspect that the works in Moraira are being carried out without a licence. Before proceeding with the report, we check, by consulting the Moraira Town Hall, if there is a building permit for the house, providing the address of the house.

Step 5: If there is no building permit, we can start the process of reporting the facts.

 

Can I report illegal building work in Moraira anonymously?

It is not possible to report an illegal building work in Moraira anonymously without providing our details, as reports of urban planning infringements must be submitted in writing to the Moraira Town Hall Licensing and Inspection Department. This form must be completed with the details of the complainant and signed.

If you do not wish to give your details and wish to remain anonymous, you have the option of telephoning the Guardia Civil or the Moraira Police and making a complaint. We will be asked for our details but we have the right not to provide them if we believe that we will be subject to reprisals.

In these cases the police or guardia civil in Moraira do not usually take much notice, unless we are insistent and make several calls, which will result in a patrol car going to the house in question and requesting the corresponding building permit documents.

There is also the possibility of hiring a lawyer to do the paperwork for us. In this way our details will not appear on the report, or you can contact a company specialised in this type of case, which will make the report for you. 

If you are the owner of a house in Moraira and you believe that your neighbours are carrying out illegal building work, you can contact us and we will provide you with the details of companies who can process the complaint for illegal building work in Moraira.
