Hi Frankie

This is why this web site is soo good.

Just read your post and I could have wrote it myself. 

I too have been contacted by phone in the last couple of days by PR marketing and had the same conversation as you with a very convincing gentle man, who promised me a excellent reduction in my monthly payments (by going onto interest only for a two year period).  This was music to my ears and then came the string in the tail, that I would need to pay a fee up-front of 1200 euro's for the service - and if my application was knocked back I would get my money back (minus 250 euros for thier admin costs).

I have the same issue as you, I had dealings with Ready rentals (though didn't lose any money to them) and this has left me very wary of any company from Spain phoning me up out of the blue offering a deal that appears too good to be true.

Sorry I can't offer any advise(let me know what you decide), but if anyone has had any dealing with this company (good and bad), please could you let me know ?

Thanks

Mark

Just found this web site by chance and I've already pick up some good advice.  

Its also good to hear about people who have had the same worries as me over the last couple of months (with the credit crunch, exchange rate, etc), I thought it was only me having the sleepless nights.

If anyone is reading this and stilll not sorted out with a mortgage, please try Keymare's bank, Banco Popular.  They are the only bank to look at borrowing me anywhere near 80% (I think it ended up at 82%).  You end up with all thier insurances and I've give up asking what all the fees are for, but I think thats pretty standard with all of them.

Anyway we complete on 1st August and although its furnished, we will need all the usual (pots, pans, plates, toaster, TV, Bedding, mirrors,etc).  We are thinking of driving up to IKEA in Murcia, is there anywhere closer ???

In addition to that what are the bars/resturants like (within walking distance) ??  I've been a number of times in the day but always stayed elsewhere (Villaricos & Majacar).

Thanks for any info. you can pass on
