Thanks Karen. It appears the issues people have are quite similar. Licences of occupation etc
Comforting to know we are not alone. Good luck 🤞🏼 xx
'Can I open a bank account without a NIE?' "Yes", depending on the type of bank you are able to open a bank account without. Some of the banks that offer this possibility LaCaisa, Bankinter, Santander and Sabadell. However, you need a NIE in many circumstances in Spain. NIE isn't necessary to sign the pre-purchase contract 'but you do need it when you sign the title deeds & paying any kind of taxes including your property tax.
