Manuel Jiménez, the legitimate owner of a chalet in Las Rozas, Spain, discovers it occupied by the daughter of actress Marisa Porcel along with an unusual addition of a helicopter in the garden, after purchasing the property under complex circumstances.
In Las Rozas, Spain, a property owner, Manuel Jiménez, has found his newly acquired chalet occupied by the daughter of the late actress Marisa Porcel. The house, which features five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a swimming pool, and a garden, also reportedly housed up to 12 cars and even a helicopter until recently. Jiménez purchased the property at an auction in October 2024 for nearly 700,000 euros without having seen it himself, leading to a surprising and complicated situation in property ownership.
The circumstances surrounding Jiménez's purchase reveal a tangled history involving the previous owner, Porcel, who had left behind significant debts at the time of her death. The property was auctioned off by tax authorities due to failure to settle her tax obligations, and Jiménez was informed by the seller about these debts. Despite being aware of the property's complicated status, he had expected a smoother transition, only to be faced with the reality of an occupied home.
This incident raises broader questions regarding the legality and ethics of property auctions, particularly in cases where previous owners have unresolved debts and the impact on new buyers. With Jiménez unable to access or live in his own home, he is now confronting legal and financial challenges that may require resolution through the courts, highlighting the need for clarity and protection for buyers in similar situations.
