Thank you so much - can I tell my Lawyer to open this Account for me the N26?   Not sure how it works.

Is there a link?

I dont think your lawyer would be able to open the account for you, as part of the process in opening the account is to photograph yourself on your phone.

What I would suggest is that your lawyer opens a conventional account for you and then once your property purchase is complete, you open the N26 account, transfer any direct debits etc and then close the conventional account.

I used Javier at Sun Lawyers as Orange Casas our estate agent uses Javier and what his email says is what they do.

We paid 3k up front.

Hi Nigella,

The same thing happened to us.  In our case, the first floor extension had been granted planning permission by the Town Hall, but the work had not been recorded at the Land Registry.  Often, these works haven't even received permission from the Town Hall.

I made it a condition of our purchase that the vendor correct the registration and be liable for any back-payment in IBI (Council Tax) increase.  The extension had been built 10 years earlier, but the tax can only be backdated 4 years.  Overall, it cost the vendor around €1,000, so it's worth your while making any costs incurred the responsibility of the vendor - and stipulate that the registration is completed prior to completion.

Good luck!

Kind regards, 

Kim

Hi Nigella

Yes it does appear that Javier works for Sun lawyers.

Sun have had plenty of recommendations on this forum but it also appears that they also represent your agent hence the advice to find your own.

My own Solicitor at Solmed is English speaking(Scotish) I would highly recommend them.
