We have owned our property since Nov 2005 but have not yet paid any IBI. As we are non resident, and the bills are sent to the apartment, then we have only managed to pick up one of the bills, and tried to pay it at the bank, but we were told that it was no longer within the payment period. We have still not managed to find out how to pay it!
Anyway, we are now looking to sell the property, at a huge loss, and probably owe around 4000 euros on IBI. Is this something that a purchaser or their lawyer would routinely check? Are they likely to want this amount paying off before the sale would go through? Or is it likely not to be discovered?
