Hi I also live permanently in the U.K. but have a villa in Arboleas. I used Angela Morales in Mojaca. She speaks English and Is very professional and trustworthy. She handled the purchase of my property and was very diligent. She also attended all meetings with the notaria, opened bank accounts, ...

...and opened accounts with the electric, water, Companies and with the Town Hall for taxes and bills etc. I gave her power of attorney and everything went through very efficiently and smoothly. I cannot recommend her highly enough. 

Absolutely agree.

Just a word of warning concerning lawyers opening bank accounts is concerned.  We used a lawyer in Mojacar when we bought our house  - can’t remember her name but she may not still be in practice.  She opened an account for us with a bank charging high quarterly fees.  We told her we wanted Cajamar as they had far more branches near our house

 in the Cabo de Gata  natural park, and at that stage they didn’t charge much in the way of fees.  She swore blind that this was not possible as there were no branches of Cajamar in Mojacar.  When we got there we discovered there was a branch of Cajamar right next to the bank she had chosen!  I suspect she was getting commission from the bank for client introductions and the rules applying to lawyers in Spain tend to be far more flexible on this than in the U.K.

We were eventually able to change bank accounts after quite a bit of hassle, but the moral of this story is decide which bank you want and then insist the lawyer uses that!

Angela Morales set up our bank account with Unicaja and although, as non resident, there are charges, we have never had any issues. Angela also set up all our direct debits, did our wills and has been nothing short of superb.

Hi,

I am based in UK but am looking to purchase a property in Mojacar that needs renovating. I don’t know Spanish yet so would need English speaking Notary and Lawyer. Plus I need to open a bank account and would appreciate recommendations on this too. Many thanks

Well I have been very happy with Michael Davies solicitors and the Cajamar bank. Both Mojacar and I access from UK.
