Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part III
I've researched this area myself. The spanish tend to buy a car and run it 'till it dies, like we used to do in the UK before every-one lost the plot and had to have the latest reg'.
This means there's a big shortage of second vehicles.
I reckon the cheapest way is to buy LHD car in the UK which tend to be way cheaper than their RHD counterparts, and drive it to Spain.
The same applies to secondhand motorbikes, which are in fact way cheaper in UK than Spain, especially superbikes.
'hope this helps.

There's a risk involved in crossing the road but I do it most days. I do however limit the risk by looking both ways and being aware and cautious. I've taken the same approach when choosing to invest in my home in England and on CE. One of the reasons I chose CE was that it was being developed by Fadesa. I did lots of research on them and other developments of theirs and felt confident that my money was as safe as it could be.
You can do no more other than not take the risk at all, and keep your money under the mattress.
My money being in Ayamonte seems much more attractive.

Andy,
sorry, can't help with regards to this lawyer.
I think there are a couple of Spanish lawyers who may be able to provide advice on normal costs for doing this, and they usually respond to questions on www.spanishpropertyinsight.com. It may be wothwhile posting a question??
Alternatively, there is a website - www.marbella-lawyers.com where you can also ask questions, and where there is a library of articles on this subject.
Hope this helps,
Karen

The NIE number is similar to his Belgian ID, it is so that they can keep an eye on you taxwise, and most things can be traced through the number.

We have just bought a car. You are right, we needed a certificate of Empadronamiento to be able to insure the car.

Things have certainly moved on since our last visit in October 05. The photos I took of the Apartment, and surrounding area can still be seen on the 'hidden' pages of my website at www.rjdawson.co.uk/esuri by anyone who wants to compare then and now. I hope to take lots more in February, and will post them on our return.[/QUOTE]
Hi Bob
It was the last block on the right hand side, not sure of the number. Opposite the orange power station

Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part III
Due to recent changes in the Law a non resident should not even be able to get a Empadronamiento as you have to be "habitually" resident" in the town and legally resident is Spain. That is to say unless you are Spanish in nearly all cases you must have a ‘resident’s card’ or have applied for one.
You certainly do not need to have one to insure a car here but it you want to buy and register one you must show one of the following:
1. A residents card
2. The title deed to a home in Spain which must be for a dwelling and not a business and it must be in the personal name of the owner and not in the name of a company.
3. An Empadronamiento
4. A rental contract for a dwelling for a period of at least one year.
Of course this being Spain I know a few non residents who hold a Empadronamiento, JDR didn't need to show any of the above and the insurance company demanded to see Sams Empadronamiento.
Anyone buying a second hand car here should get an HPI style check done as debts can be attached to cars here and a major car ringing operation was uncovered in Huelva last year.

[QUOTE=tednsharon]
I spoke to the shed today on the phone to ask if I do my snagging in 2 weeks when I would be in Ayamonte (dec 3 to 6). But was told I would not be able to snag or get into my townhouse on manzana 6 until late march early april. Because they would be doing manzana 1 to 4 first and then manzana 5 and 6. Its starting to annoy me now
Hi
I wouldn't get too stressed - have just returned from a flying visit to see whether the snagging we compiled back in August had been completed - basically most items had not been started. Fortunately we're not in a hurry to complete, but I am surprised that Fadesa aren't trying to get the money in a bit quicker.
The site is coming on in leaps and bounds it's amazing what a few palm trees and a lick of paint can make!!
FYI anyone wanting a cheap hotel - would recommend the Riviali - just down from the Parador - very clean, cheap and friendly - good place to try out your Spanish !!
Cheers

Hi,
Does anyone have the directions from Seville Airport, I do remember in a previous post someone saying it is easy to get on the wrong road. My daughter is going at easter, although I have evry confidence in her driving skills in the U.K. this will be the first time in Europe and some really accurate directions would be a great help to her .
