We are possibly moving to arboleas, to obtain an nie number we have been advised through estate agent to pay 150 pound each to purchase this, another friend who has a holiday residence in la cals malaga advised we can obtain cheaper if we just go to police station.  We want to put offer on house now so should we just go along with the agent lawyers? 

Thank you

You can do this yourself, but you’ll need to read and speak some Spanish to make and attend appointment or use a translator. Rather than use a lawyer you could use a “Gestor” or a visa agent instead these may be cheaper options. 

Irrespective of what you choose to do I would strongly caution you against using any lawyer recommended by an estate agent. This site and others is full of horror stories from people who have done this. If you want recommendations again this forum and others will assist.

Good Morning,

Agree entirely with Ian. Never use a Solicitor recommended in this way. To whom would loyalty be owed. Unless it's Amanda Oakley of Zurgena.

You could try her for NIE or CAT SERVICES of La Alfoquia.

Saludos,

Bob and Sandra

Usually about 100€ each.
