I received a letter from Endesa about this; apparently you need to contact them, and they have a department that can help, but as I understand it, you need to discuss it with them BEFORE you get it installed. Whoever is your supplier, will probably have a similar process, so I'd start with a phone call to them first.

Hi All,

  I was hoping for a recommendation for a carpenter to install wardrobes. We need:

1. A walk in wardrobe

2. 5 regular wardrobes

3. A sauna installation

  If someone could post up a recommended person (ideally their email address) in this thread that can work around Benahavis, that would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Rob

Thanks Mariedav. I guess we should be okay, as we're all UK/EU citizens.

I guess the issue with prices for things is that if we sold, we'd get nothing much at all for our second hand things, yet replacing them would cost whatever the new price was. It's really a case of the transport costs and whether or not it's worth it. It's a relief to know taxes won't be an issue though.

I think your solution for cars is a good idea.Thanks again.

Hi All,

  Just doing some final planning; we've sold our UK property and moved into rented accomodation, and our house in Spain is nearing final completion of the build.

  I'd like to look into the removals side of things; we still have all our old furniture, and some of it is quite old. I've looked at initial advice around paying customs charges for moving furniture, and it looks like maybe we have to pay some taxes for shipping our own property, even though it's quite old. There seems to be some advise around showing invoices / receipts for when they were purchased in order to legally avoid paying taxes on old things, but truthfully, some of it is so old, I've long since thrown out the receipts.

  So, does anyone have any advice about moving your existing "stuff", and what was involved, whether it was easy, or painful, and did the authorities ask you for money, etc to move your own property?

  The car is worth nothing basically, so we could happily trade it for a LHD car either here or there I guess. I have no preconceived ideal there so just asking for feedback I think around what might be useful choices on that.

  That's the discussion on material things; a little about us as a family. Husband and wife with 2 girls who will be 14 and 11 at the time of the move. The will literally just be going into years 10 and 7, and the youngest is the catalyst for the move, because she will finish primary school and move to high school, so we wanted to try to do it at a time when she will have major changes anyway, so may as well move overseas. We're all dual citizens, and ll speak a smattering of other langauges, with my wife being Spanish.

  Any other advice before we make the move (we're thinking around August)?

Thanks,

Rob

  How urgent was it for me? It wasn't bleeding or respiratory and I didn't feel it was life threatening,  however it was incredibly painful.

  I felt if it was a choice of waiting days at the GP or waiting hours at A&E then I could probably hold out with some strong pain meds for a few hours.

  I was told in triage that that particular specialist was well respected in my local area so either way he was the person I was going to see. This was my choice.

 

I fully agree there are more options through private but in my state I wanted someone recommended. He was the guy and on request the triage nurse was told there was no way to speed him up because he already had his schedule setup.

 

I could have gone with someone else faster but I didn't have any feedback about the individuals skill or reputation etc.

 

hope that makes sense.
