I received an email last week from an estate agent in Spain that stated 'as from the 2nd of July military background checks are no longer needed and checks that are ongoing will be scrapped'  I sent the email to my Spanish solicitor for his attention and am awaiting his response, as I am in the military background check queue.

Thank you. I have just heard the same and waiting to hear from our solicitors too. Fingers crossed. 

Please let me know if you hear anything!

Hi, I've not heard anything else about it, I sent an email to my Spanish solicitor on Wednesday last for clarification but I've yet to get an answer. I am over in September to complete, I have asked him to withdraw my application and for him to get my money back (Over a grand).
