Hi all,
We are expected to complete on our property in Duquesa on 2nd Sept. We are a little annoyed as we made a payment from our Euro Starling account and the bank (Spanish end) charged us approx 125.50 euros.
To be honest, we visited two Spanish banks back in May and both advised that their charges were 40 euros per month, with is pretty ridiculous.
One of the ladies dealing with our POA has asked the utilities suppliers about us paying our direct debits using our Starling Euro account (Starling has stated we can do this) but apparently the suppliers won't accept an iban beginning with GB, it has to be ES.
Can anyone give any recommendations on Spanish banks ?
Also, we have been told that the council tax bill is paid between June and Sept, which is fine, but can you tell me the annual period. In the UK it is 1st April to 31st March, what are the dates in Spain.
Much appreciated
Karen
