We collected out TIE cards last week and then read some have been sent out with wrong information on the bottom . Ours is one of these so check when you collect . I have been in touch with the consulate and they say a large number went out to police stations with this mistake and the Spanish were thinking about what to do. I have to apply for my S1 healthcare card this month and am now thinking maybe they won't issue this because of the mistake on the TIE card .

Hi my friend who does not use internet has put deposit on house and now has discovered that the kitchen was built using 9 meters of the porch. Her solicitor who is also the sellers solicitor has told my friend that a license was not needed because it hadn't increased the foot print of the house. The porch was 34 meters when the house was built and is now 25 meters. As this work has increased the inside living space we are worried that it has been done illegally, even though her solicitor is saying license wasn't needed . I understood from our architect when we were thinking of glassing in our porch that permission would be needed because it would increase our living space. Any advice

Well, we have now moved into our home in Spain, and I can highly recommend our estate agent Matt at Orange Blossom Homes in Gandia. He listened to what we wanted, showed us 4 houses 3 of which were all serious contenders. ( this was after we had viewed over 30 properties with other agents). The purchase went through in 4 weeks. The after sales service was brilliant, he took us to electric/ water companies to set up accounts, took us to obtain a PO BOX, and as we are wanting to install a pool, has advised us on obtaining quotes from 3 different companies.

I don't really understand the tax status thing. We won't be working or drawing any pensions as we are only 60 so not old enough. We will be buying and living on the proceeds of the sale of our UK house, surely this can't be taxable???

We are completing our house sale mid September and will be buying in Spain. Whilst looking we are hoping to rent somewhere between Valencia and Alicante so we can check out houses in this area for sale. Anyone willing to rent out their property for 3 months or know of anyone who does. Have tried lots of letting agents but they all want 12 month let's. It's just for the two of us and we will need somewhere furnished with parking as we will be bringing our car..
