Re: UK house insurance - unoccupied for up to 5 months in a year

If you know of a utilities company that does not levy a standing charge, can you please let me know?

Returning to the UK each month for a day or two to satisfy an insurance company, isn't...

Re: UK house insurance - unoccupied for up to 5 months in a year

I looked around, and found a utilities supplier that (they say) charge a lower than average standing charge. So although leaving the house unoccupied will incur this charge, it could be worse.

Re: UK house insurance - unoccupied for up to 5 months in a year

Thanks for this.

There is also the issue of Council Tax. My understanding is that there is no provision for paying it part of the year for only when the house is actually occupied. You have to...

UK house insurance - unoccupied for up to 5 months in a year

I hope in 2017 to live outside the UK for up to 5 months in a year. For 3 months and for 2 months later in the year. However, I want to keep my UK house in case of an emergency. I own the UK house....

Re: Historic moment: EU Referendum

Yes, but I wonder how many Spanish pensioners live in the UK. I would imagine that only a fraction of the number of our pensioners in Spain. This could mean that Spain feels under little obligation...

Re: Historic moment: EU Referendum

My own guess is this.

The visa requirements to leave and return to Spain for UK expats will be either non-existent, or very light post-Brexit. Because the Spanish government will not want their...

Re: Maximum time out of country on spouse visa

Here is that advice. I know that I also, on a forum, tried to pin down the experts there as to what this meant in practice. They gave their opinion that it meant that if you were away for 6 months...

Re: Maximum time out of country on spouse visa

OK, and I understand. But if you want, I can dig out the advice which is actually on the internet on this (that I printed out). As I say, this was also something my own spouse was concerned about...

Re: Maximum time out of country on spouse visa

This is my understanding:
The ECO guidance rules on the internet say that this time out of the UK is negotiable. There is no "fixed" time you can leave the UK under the spouse visa in a year. ...

Paying for health care in Spain

Although Spain is in the EU, I am advised that as of 2015, I would have to pay myself for at least part of the health care I would receive living in Spain. I am near to the UK state pension age of...

Re: Europe outside the EU

I'm a bit confused. She applies and gets, let's say, settlement, or the ILR visa. This is after 5 years (I meet the financial requirement).

In order to get ILR she does not have to obey the...

If you passed your driving test in the UK and have a valid UK driving license, do you need to take the test again? I go to Moldova (outside the EU) and a Brit living over there permanently has shown...

Re: Problem operating UK banks accounts from another country

Are the 123 business account rules different? I opened one for the general public.

And any better idea when the Winter Fuel Allowance comes to an end for people living in Spain?
