Hi, my husband and I are looking to buy a holiday home in Pto.de Mazarron and have been to view three properties whilst holidaying this month. This gave us a better idea of our priorities (which completely surprised us!)
We’ve searched the estate agent sites since returning to the UK and have found plenty of properties we’d like to view in the near future. However, as a teacher I’m restricted to when I can fly out.
Are we correct in thinking our next step is to set up a mortgage with a Spanish bank? If so, how do we do this? Can anyone give me ‘an idiot’s guide’?!
Finally, I have been told we need to get an NIE number - I can I do this from the UK? Some sites say this needs to be obtained independently, others say the estate agents do this for us.
Many thanks in advance!
Burnie
