Hi Ian,

You should always use a lawyer ("abogado") for anything contractual, like buying a house.  Gestors help their clients navigate the infamous Spanish bureaucracy - they may be professionally qualified, but don't have to be, hence their hourly rates are much cheaper, but they are experts at cut...

...ting through red tape.  When we first moved to Spain, I used a gestor for our NIEs, green residency cards and exchanging our driving licences.

This article, by the company I use for our taxes, Abaco Advisers, is a useful summary of the different professionals you may need in Spain:

Kind regards,

Kim

Thank you for your help and advice Kim.

Apply for and get an NIE from the Spanish Embassy in Ireland. I really wish I had.

Thank you for your advice. I actually am British, but availed of the opportunity to obtain an Irish passport. My partner is Irish. Regarding proof of income: I have a Spanish bank account. But at the moment all my income (pensions) go to my Irish bank account. Do I have to show them going into my...

... Spanish bank or can I show my income to my Irish accounts?

The Spanish authorities will need to see that your pensions are credited to your Spanish bank account.  This will be no problem for you because they are already in Euros in your Irish bank account.  All you need to do is give the respective pension agency your Spanish IBAN and they will take care of it for you.
