Hello to all!
well after four and a half months it looks like we may have an offer on our house this coming week (and I hope I'm not tempting fate!). Survey has been done, price agreed etc. just waiting on the offer in paper.
All of a sudden I feel kinda like a "rabbit in the headlights". We have a house not completed yet and our NIE's and have registered son at spanish school. However, on the UK side of things I haven't really done much as I didn't want to until we sold. If all goes according to plan, we will have between 5-8 weeks depending on the entry date given to move out, and I would rather go straight over to Spain and rent.
Hubby talking about hiring a lorry (think he said 7.5 tonne) and taking all our stuff over then driving it back. If anyone knows of a hire company please let me know. We did get a quote from Mitchells but a soon as they knew he was taking it to Spain they quoted £1500 for the week. We may nearly fill this size with the stuff we are taking. Perhaps we would be as cheap getting a Company in? Doubt it though!
Will prob need to put stuff in storage as well.
I have changed all our addresses to sons flat here, including doctors etc. Youngest son and I would be staying in Spain full time and hubby will work uk and go back and forth for a while.
If anyone can advise on anything I would need to do then I would be grateful! I'm thinking medical side, banks (we have opened a sol bank account in spain) or any legal matters. I know there are countless threads on the subject but my brain would just freeze if I started.
I suppose by changing address to another UK address I am hoping to make the move gradually, hope that makes sense!
After approx 25 viewings I am
so really hoping this all goes through.
