Hi All,

Just looking for a little bit of advice on purchasing a second hand car in Spain as a property owner with an NIE number but a non resident. We will be over for 3-4 weeks at a time every 3 months or so hopefully and would like to get a car to make it easier to get about. 

We have a good solicitor that we will speak to for some help and advice, but also wanted to get a few tips and pointers from those on the ground as such to hopefully avoid any issues. So a few questions for you so I can plan a little as we won't be out until October.

1) What sort of budget should I be looking at for a small run around? It does not need to be anything flash but obviously something reliable. We were thinking 3-4 thousand Euros.

2) Should I consider private sellers, online forums etc or go to second hand dealership? Is there an online equivalent of Auto Trader for example in that area?

3) As a non resident what paperwork, id etc do we need to bring with me to complete a sale while we're out there and roughly what is involved to register the car as a non resident. 

4) Is insurance similar to the UK, in that I would need to take this out with a company on the phone or online or can you do this in person in Spain? 

5) Anything else we should consider or think about, so we can be as prepared as we can when we come out?

Thanks in advance for your help and replies 

Kind regards

Hello All,

Would anyone in or near Los Lobos be able to provide some advice regarding internet providers in that area please.

I have a property there and hope to be over around 3 times a year for a month or so at a time. When I'm there I will need internet access to work from home during the week. I'm not too worried about having a service I can switch off when I'm not there, it is more important to me to have a reasonable speed and a reliable service. 

I assume I can't have fibre in that area and it would be via an an antenna, but if anyone knows different please advise. Also what sort of minimum speed would you advise. I have been told Wimax are a good bet but it would be good to hear some other opinions. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Paul

Hi Everyone

Does anyone have a recommendation for a personal carer, my dad is staying with me and having radiotherapy at Torrecardenas and is very weak at the minute. I'm coping ok with his care for now (even gave him a shampoo and cut  this morning) but I would like to have a couple of names and numbers if I get to where I need help a few hours a week. English speaking and preferably a driver who might be able to cover a couple of his radiotherapy appointments if we need that. He is currently still able to go to the bathroom alone but some personal care like bed baths and dental hygiene would be involved. We technically live in Cuevas but are right on the border with Vera. Also if you know roughly what we could expect to pay as a hourly rate?

Thank you

Anna
