Could this just be a delay the developer is facing or could it be serious?

I would appreciate your feedback on this.
Oh dear.

Have you asked the builder if there is a certificate of habitation issued on the property, a cedula? Thats what is needed to present to the electricity company to get them to connect the supply. Its either a case of something is wrong with the paperwork or the builder just hasn't bothered yet.

Either way, it is illegal. The builders supply is only allowed for whilst the building is being constructed. If the power company discover that it is still being supplied in this way then they do have the option to disconnect the supply. This has happened before, and has resulted in generators having to be employed.

Final question, has the property been registered with the land registery in your name?
