Hi Lynda,
We are going on our inspection trip next week and have been allocated a slot of 10.00 AM on Tue 10th July & according to my laywer we are due to complete on Fri 13th ( not a great date) electricity ,water and communication with our Spanish mortgage company in relation to the survey all in order,however we applied for our Nie Number nearly 3 months ago via the UK and after an email from the Spanish consulate today they have informed us that they are taking 3 months due to the popular demand of all us daft brits buying in Spain, so if anything will hold us up it will be that so I am keeping my fingers crossed,failing that I have been informed that we will be available to complete as soon as that NIE No arrives.I hope this helps.
Regards
Andy & Lisa
