Hi Cab

We remortgaged our place in April.  We are with Bankinter and have done the mortgage interest only for 2 years.  2 years was the maximum they could do.

you can get your NIE number any time you are in Spain.  Most agents will take you to get it a couple of days before you sign for the property.  If you are getting your NIE in Alicante be prepared to stand in a long queue for hours!

The Euribor was 2.8% back in June.  It was 3.794 as at 13 October.  With the rising interest rates it has been going up.

We did our mortgages through Bankinter who we find are really good.  Year 1 you normally get a good deal.  We got our mortgage fixed at 3.5% for the first year.  After that it is reviewed yearly and based on the 1 year Euribor rate + 1%.  The Euribor is currently around 3.8%.  Interest rates are expected to go up again so it may be a good idea to get your mortgage fixed which we have now done at 5.5%.  The fees for setting up the mortgage and everything else with buying the property is about 13-15% on top of the purchase price.

Are you still paying the sky subscription?  I was thinking of upgrading to Sky+ and taking the old box.  Will that still work?
