Spanish lawyer (English speaking)in Villamartin area

Hi Chris, We bought our house last year with the help of a small family run solicitors called Adminserv who are located in Playa Flamenca. The company is run by a husband and wife team Nacho and Teresa, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Before we bought our current home there were two other houses we where interested in and submitted offers for both, due to Nacho's thoroughness he saved us from purchasing a house where everything was not quite legal. Adminserv can also assist you with NIE, Residencia, tax, drivers license, vehicle registration transfer. Nacho is Spanish and speaks perfect English's and Teresa is from Brighton and speaks perfect Spanish. Whichever solicitor you decide to use I wish you the very best in your relocation. Jim

You don't need a lawyer just a good gestor however if Boris does manage to force through his October 31st 'do or die' Brexit it will likely becomes academic.

The very least you need to do to stand any chance of moving after that date is to be able to prove that you were actually living here before it AND actively attempting to get an appointment for a residency application which, in case you didn't know, is no easier here than in France.

I know one couple who like you are hoping to move from France but need to sell their property there first but without a buyer yet that's not going to happen in time so they have rented a place in Spain and are travelling back and forth as often as posible hoping to get away with pretending that they are already living here, whether that works out for them or not only time will tell.

One problem which may or may not affect you is healthcare. They are in the French system by virtue of S1's but for a residency application in Spain they will need new ones from DWP however the issuing of those will immediately cancel their current ones and DWP will tell the French which in turn will almost equally immediately lead to a demand for the return of their Carte Vitales. 

Obviously that is a step they cannot afford to take until they do have an appointment and then hope not only that that their new S1's ones come through in time for it but also that their applications are successful - and even then still be faced with trying to sell their house in France where, quite possibly after Oct 31st., they will only be able to spend 90 days in any 180.

Very glad we got our move from France in when we did and are all 'papered up' and ready with everyone else to deal with the Brexit fallout when (or if) it comes. 

Hi Jim Thank you very much they seem to ideal for us and we will make contact with them as soon as possible.

Regards Chris.

Good luck.

Thank you do you have a web site for them?

Chris, The web address is www.adminserv.es, or alternatively Google Adminserv. It's worth adding that the office may be closed due to the Spanish holidays, however in my experience they are likely to reply to any emails received.h

Cheers

Jim
