Hi all,

We used The Halifax in Torrevieja, their service was excellent. Iberian don't like them because they do things "The British Way" (i.e. all the I's dotted and the T's crossed) before they release any money. They also will not take cash for the builder when completing and recommend you don't either (do you fancy walking the streets with £7000 in your pocket, another reason Iberian don't like them) they give the builder a credit note for him to collect the cash part of the deal from them, the builder seemed ok with this.

We also had no problem with Aroca, between Paul the manager of  the Halifax, the solicitors, the builders and ourselves we sorted it out. Iberian didn't want to know as we were not using one of their recomended banks and "you'll only have problems if you use a bank we haven't recommended"  The Halifax even sorted out he insurance for us with Zurich which was quite reasonable.

So the upshot is we used Aroca and the Halifax and had no problems with either, in fact the people at the Halifax went out of their way to be of help. Our only problems have been with Iberian.

Hope this is of  help

see you soon Karen & Neil

We were in Hurchillo at the beginning of Oct and enjoyed a tour of the local nightlife with our two guides Kevin ( from No 5 phase 1) and Jim,  but forget "only going out for a couple of beers" and don't plan on going to bed before 2am but what a great night was had by all !!

All joking apart, Kevin and Jim have been a great help to us over the last 6 months and Kevin is in the process of fitting the grills and window security locks at number 20 phase 2 so if anyone wishes to inspect his work feel free to go and have a look and get him to give you a quote.

Look forward to seeing you all next time we are over.

Neil and Karen
