We have finally sold our apartment in Spain. Our agent insists its a quick sale and wanted us to sign contracts asap. We were given it in English and then sent a Spanish one with "spelling" changes to be sent back asap by DHL. Alarm bells started to ring so we contacted our Abogado who has our deeds to look over it and help us finalise the deal. My main concern is ensuring the bank draft is legit before we hand over the deeds. We asked if we could give over the deeds after the bank draft is cleared but was told its not possible. How can we be sure for certain the bank draft is genuine? Why cant the amount due just be electronically transferred from bank to bank instead? Any input would be appreciated.
