Taking my car back to UK and estate agents
well as some of you may know our villa is up for sale and when we sell (goodness knows when that will be) we are back to the UK . Thing is when we arrived here I changed my RH drive mondeo over to spanish plates etc thing is does anybody know how hard it is to change back to UK plates ????
Its funny you know but... we have had quite a few estate agents round to value our home and you wouldnt believe the difference in prices, one even suggested that we put it on for lower than what we payed 3 years ago (before we had done a lot of work here). will be sorry to go but OH wants to go back and i cant afford to buy his half off him, que sera, things have a funny way of turning round, take care all

Go to your bank and ask them to get a "Tasador" round to value the place. It'll probably cost you around 250-350 € but worth it as you get a professional, independant valuation and not some estate agents idea of what it is worth. Once you have that price fixed, you know which estate agents are giving you a reasonable price and which aren't.
Also bear in mind that bank valuations are usually some 10 or 20% LESS than the actual valuation so they have room to maneouvere when offering the mortgage

If you email the DVLA they will tell you exactly what you need to do.
Some friends recently re-imported their car with no problems at all.

Have you considered renting it out for a while?? You may hate being back and long to be in Spain again.
