Thanks everyone,

I know in theory asking at the local office is the correct way to go about it but I am not in Spain yet. Having had meningitis its put off my travel plans in the short tem.  I am assuming this muncipal tax is not the non-resident tax?

I am just confused with how many taxes I have to pay for this property and I have been busy trying to set up direct debits  in my spanish bank account from within the UK

thanks

I bought a property in June and this week I had an IBI tax bill for 219 euros, presumably for what is remaining of the year. I read that the tax is payable every January so my question is, would this have already been paid by the ex owner in January of this year?

thanks

Hi Claire,

Thanks for the reply. Everything has gone through except for the water which seems to be taking incredibly long. I am still in the UK because not really happy going out out to the apartment if there is a chance no water will be connected.

The lawyers have been really good but its just this that seems to be dragging on. Maybe its because they are using power of attourney to connect the water?

They already got paid a day before the contracts were signed. I don’t speak Spanish yet so couldn’t have done it myself. My worry is they said we can’t pay first bill D/D and I can’t get to Spain until September. I was hoping to pay any bills online.

Hi -

How long should it take to change the water and electric over to new owners of a property? We recieved the keys to our new property about a month ago but the utilities have not been changed yet into our name. A lawyer is doing it for us. I am not sure what a normal time scale is. 

Thanks
