We need help sorting out our utility services and accounts
We would like to engage a Spanish speaker to help us liaise with the local authority, local utility providers, the solicitors acting for the previous owner and banking facilities for the property that our charity, Realife Trust, owns in Casarabonela.
There appears to be a problem with our ability to pay bills directly as the accounts are still in the name of the previous owner. They are being 'managed' by the local solicitor firm but all parties are keen to set up the accounts properly in our name, which are now in arrears. We have also been told that we cannot pay the accounts from a UK bank account, although I have read conflicting information on this point. We also understand that the electric meter needs to be refitted by the supply company.We have the necessary NIE and NIF numbers in place and copies of the utility bills to work with. If you can help us, please let us know costs for what we assume will be a solid half day of telephone work which could be done via Teams from the UK end with us or face to face from our office in Cambridge if preferred.
For your interest, details of the property can be found on our website at www.realife.org.ukmany thanksTony
