You will need to grant someone Power of Attorney. Then they will be able to open an account for you.

Remember you don’t need a Spanish bank account to buy a house in Spain. I use my Wise account. Never had a Spanish bank account.

How do you pay for IBI and other bills?

If you have a Bank account in your home country and it in Europe. It should have an European Iban and bic number
You will not need a Spanish Bank account
I would tell your Lawyer/Solicitors that you will transfer price of property in their Client holding account. They can arrange Banker Draft on day of completion for a small fee. Less than Spanish Bank would charge
Lawyer should be able to set up Direct debt for Electricity and Water and other utilities bills using Your Bank account. We'll that is idea of European Iban and bic numbers. Why not ask at your own Bank in your European country for details

When you open your ‘Wise’ account you are given a Belgian IBAN number which will start with BE. I use this number to pay all my utilities and Suma bills.

Thanks, I am in the process of buying property at the moment and my abogado said wise is not good enough for council tax and some other bills. I am paying security deposit and hopefully the final price useing wise.

Your Abogado is wrong.
Many of us on here pay all their household bills via direct debit through their Wise account, in fact only yesterday I attended my local Suma office to set up a direct debit to pay the road tax for a recently purchased car, as a non resident this ensures that the tax gets paid as I wouldn't be in Spain when the bills are issued in March.
