Hi Linda & Adrian
We used Money Corp to transfer our funds from UK account to PW we set a deal in February at 1.11 not that good now but was then!
We didnt have to get the Habitation Certificate we were told by PW that it had already come through? we were given a copy at the Notiary's office when we signed.
We got our NIE numbers which were arranged again by PW - we were told to be at PW head office where they drove us to the Home Office (I think thats what it was!)in Murcia with another couple who were due to complete in August the procedure was completly painless. We were told to get a coffee and the PW people went into the office to do something official? and then about 15 minutes later we went up to the desk along with our passports and we were given our NIE numbers.
We havent got the electricity connected yet or the water but we will apply for that after the snagging has been done.
We have arranged the electrical goods to be installed just before we come back out in September after the electrical work has been completed and we have also arranged or a "deep" clean as it is very dirty and PW only do a mop and bucket clean.
We are getting some furniture - beds and bedroom furniture locally from Campasol to be delivered nearer the date when we are out in September. The other furniture we are getting from IKEA - we will also be doing a large IKEA shop when we are out there next for kitchen stuff etc.
Air Con - I have emailed Polar Air but they have yet to get back to me - hopefully they will install before the furniture is delivered.
You will be surprised at how things fall into place when you are out there. I got all my information from EOS which I found invaluable. There are so many people willing to share their experiences.
