Hi there.
You can get all the Forms for NIE & Residencia online and there is also an English version online as well so you know how to fill them in.
When you fill in the forms they will send you an appointment within 1 month in Benidorm. It is actually qiuite simple and since you have time why not try it.
As for the Padron you can walk into your town hall and get that quite easily.
I know its strange when you first move to spain but i did it myself, tho it took me a while, as no one told me it was so easy. So dont waste your money before you try it yourself.
Also with the residencia be careful if you have assets over 100,000 euro ( in uk) as it may be subject to 40% tax by Spanish government when you become a resident.
Regards Angel
