Bermúdez recalled that “this building, located in Cabo Llanos, comes to respond to the needs raised to this City Council by various bailiffs in this capital to become a future judicial headquarters” and emphasizes that “it has been the result of development of different meetings between both parties to determine the procedure and compile the necessary documentation to formalize this sale”.
For his part, the Councilor for Municipal Heritage, Juan José Martínez, maintains that “in the month of July, after the City Council meetings with the judicial groups of the province, the Government of the Canary Islands formalized in writing before this City Council its interest in the building” and adds that, “by indications of the mayor, we gave priority to this operation to respond to a demand from the different judicial bodies given the immediate need to have more space for the development of their work”, Martínez explained.
The file that was approved yesterday takes into account the technical report of the Heritage Service, whose technical department issues a valuation of the building of 22,057,736.01 euros, with IGIC, “and whose payment will be made in four installments, although the Government of The Canary Islands can modify the fractioning or reduce the postponement, without this implying a change in the price”, Martínez advanced. In addition, he specifies that “the terms would be in this same year (25% of the price), 5,514,434 euros; in 2023, 4,135,825.51 euros, and the amounts of 4,135,825.50 euros each of the annuities of 2024, 2025 and 2026 ”, he concluded.
