Good morning all...To the kind people who wanted to help me with my 'property deal'...Especially Robert, Christine and 'others'. 

The apartment that I was 'chasing' in Almeria, has now been SOLD, and it is 'lost'!

Had 'my bank', NOT been so GREEDY with their OUTRAGEOUS charges, then I may have been able to proceed with the purchase!

Yes...I DO realise  that it is 'business', but they were talking TELEPHONE numbers, ie, 750ā‚¬ 'set-up' fee, what the hell is all THAT about?? What, for a small amount of paperwork? It seems to me, that they have ALL got their grubby little hands in your pockets!šŸ˜‚

Then there are 'fees' for this/that, and something else, and the other, which made it impossible to continue! Thanks to THEIR charges, it would have left me with just FIFTY euros per week, just to survive on, (I'm a pensioner), yes, they offered me the deal, and THEY would have been in a 'win-win' situation but  I need to illustrate, what a bunch of BANDITS they REALLY are!

I will NEVER recommend this bank to anyone ever again! Over the years, I have supported them with new customers and sang their praises, well, now they can rot for all I care, I may even close my account with them, and give all of my thousands to the local dog's home, or some other worthwhile charity... they would appreciate it more! 

Once more, thank you to all, for your kind efforts...Have a good weekend... Bryan.

Good morning to you Ray...

Yes, I AM LEGALLY resident, even with a 'spanish' driving licence.

I also have ALL of my insurances with them, and I wished to use at least 15k from my account, and make up the difference with the bank.

I DO appreciate your input, and thank you again...

I was paying cash and the transfer charges were quite high. The bank split the payments up for me on the proviso I purchased their insurance.

Even with the higher cost of the premium I still saved a fortune on charges

Well...I bought ALL of their insurances, property/ life, ( although I'm a bit dubious with that onešŸ˜‚), AND motor insurance which I have now cancelled! Why?..Because on renewal, ZURICH would only allow me 40% of my 'no-claims' bonus, instead of my FULL 60%...Now CANCELLED! YET. MORE cowboys! So you see, why I'm peeved off with it all!šŸ˜ž
