Notwithstanding, the risk exists and whilst not an everyday event it can happen and I would consider it to be irresponsible not to make this known to the seller. Additionally, once the funds are deposited in a Spanish bank account the bank can charge up to 0,35% to make a subsequent transfer especi...

Well I will count myself lucky that the buyers large and reputable Legal Firm didn't reverse the transfer then. My lawyer who happens to be a close family friend approved everything every step of the way. We purposely avoided a bankers draft as the funds can take up to 6 days to clear and we had an ...

Don't give the buyers lawyer a sniff of it. Currencies direct will send a rep. to the Notaria on day of completion, you hand them the cheque and job done. Money will be in your own bank account of choice within 48 hours. If on completion day you are owed €350k I cannot see any difference whether th...

When I recently sold a property the 10% deposit was paid by the buyers lawyer by wire transfer direct to my Spanish account and then 2 weeks later at the Notary once all the usual deductions were made the final large payment was once again wired from the buyers lawyer to my account as we both signed...

Below from another Forum The TIE. Whether or not you have ticked the correct boxes on the TIE, it appears to make no difference. Many have been provided with a TIE that does not match their status. Being told not to worry they are still valid is not acceptable and you do not know what happens furthe...

Yes they did, but apparently the fault was with the card printers in Madrid who in put wrong info into the machines that manufacture the cards and a great many are WRONGLY WORDED https://www.thelocal.es/20201001/brexit-the-two-mistakes-to-look-out-for-on-your-tie-spanish-residency-card?fbclid=IwAR16...

Just collected my TIE. Contains all the correct information. Got there early, hardly anybody there waiting. Straight in and out with my TIE before my appointment time had arrived. Cheers Gerry Thats good to know, all the people I know that have done it have received incorrect cards so far, so good ...

They had a dummy run back in 1918 but nothing came of it

I had a classmate at school whose surname was Bates. You can imagine...!

I worked with a guy in the nineties whose surname was Head, his parents christened him Richard....

Yep, can't wait to get my hands on it....a blue and a green for us in Oct. Fed up now with Space Grey and never liked that rose gold

Yep all in Chinese

Thanks everyone and thanks Enrique, will take a good look through these links.....most grateful

The autovía may have drastically shortened the time it takes to drive from the north to the south of Spain and vice-versa but it has has totally destroyed the experience I know you can leave it whenever you wish but it's not the same. There are beautiful villages which one would never even think of...

Ah, thinking about it again some of the gems we found were off the beaten track, La Pedraza in Segovia for instance, stayed in the best hotel we've ever used in Spain, beautiful place with a world renowned restaurant too in the lovely walled village. Whether it's open and functioning in these times...

Absolutely.

Thanks, looking at it I think we will head up the French Atlantic Coast for sure as really fancy a day in Biarritz (nostalgic), then onwards up towards Calais....but nothing booked so may even consider Caen-Portsmouth ....any more tips appreciated Thx

Thanks Olive, probably aim to do the trip over a 5-6 day period...but thats open ended as may wish to spend longer somewhere along the route before pitching up at Calais
