We were told by the Police Authorities that it is for the passport stamps and the VISAs.



Thread: INFORMATION NEEDED FOR NIE

--------------------------------------
04 Mar 2010 11:32 AM:

Hi BigAl,

The requirements could change from one Police Station to another. At the Police Station in Cartagena if the applicant is coming in person they need the passport to be stamped by the Custom authorities at the Passport Control in the airport bearing in mind that only a few days can pass since the arrival to Spain to the application day of the NIE (that is if they arrive on 1st March and they apply for the NIE number on 25th March the stamp will not be valid) . Then the passport has to be copied: all pages, even the blank ones.

But if the application of the NIE number is made by power of attorney the POA has to be signed in the applicant's country (a Spanish power of attorney will not be valid) and the passport has to be certified by a notary (not a Spanish Notary) and appostilled by the FCO.

I hope it helps.

 Roughly: once you sell a property you have to pay capital gains tax and some other expenses and taxes depeding on the purchase/sale agreement (plusvalia tax - increase of the value of the land-, Notary's fees...). 

In case that the property is not sold before the sad loss of your partner the inheritors will pay inheritance taxes.

I will send you the information from the Spanish Tax Authorities web site via PM (information in English). 



Thread: how many people really want to or are trying to sell their spanish property?

From our experience...

1. Prices of the properties are being reduced day by day. In some areas there is a "price war" between sellers. Bearing in mind that sometimes the sellers are also the banks, because the banks are taking possession of the properties when owners cannot pay their mortgages… and thus the properties are being sold at lower prices.

2. Purchasers... the Spanish purchaser was waiting for this situation. Now they are taking the opportunity to buy a second house for holidays.  But the Spanish purchaser is different from the foreign one. For example we recently have a few sales and all of the properties have been bought by Spanish people. They do not mind to buy here in Murcia or Torrevieja or Benidorm: they look for the lowest price. However the foreign purchaser takes into account other factors such as proximity of the airport, facilities, fiscal consequences...

3. Agents... there is also a "war" between agencies. They are charging lower commissions and they are working very hard to sell properties. A couple of years ago it was not unusual to have two - three potential purchasers for the same property; now they have to look actively for purchasers.

My suggestion: if there are other properties for sale in the same area, first, try to find out the current prices. Then put the property on the market and try to do it with different estate agencies (being careful with the exclusive contracts) and compare commissions. The estate agent could also advice you with the price and the best way to put the property in the market. Also do not forget that if you are a non resident seller it is very advisable you are informed of the taxes implications whether you have to pay or claim back to The Spanish Tax authorities.

As far as I know there are three regions:

1. PAL UK: valid for all Europe including Spain.

2. NTSC - USA or region free: all the games from this region are valid for the other two.

3. NTSC - Japan: games do not work on PAL UK region.

Most of the games that we can find on the market are "region free" and they are fully translated into different languages or at least they have subtitles. Yes, games in Spain are very expensive and it is better to buy them from stores online.
