How do I organise utility contracts?
There are several things that can only be arranged once you become the legal owner of your property in Spain. Once you have signed the title deeds, you will be able to apply for utility contracts such as water, electricity and gas, and set up direct debits to ensure these bills are paid. This is something that your lawyer in Spain can organise on your behalf.
How do I set up a bank account?
Your lawyer will also be able to help you in setting up your bank account and arranging home insurance for your property in Spain. This is a simple process.
How do I arrange the furnishing of my property in Spain?
Furnishing your property can often seem like a chore, but many buyers simply instruct a home furnishings company to do the job for them a few months prior to completion. Obviously this will depend on the reasons for the purchase. If you are buying the property purely as an investment, you may prefer to take on a hands-off approach to furnishing the property. However, most buyers enlist the help of a furniture specialist (often recommended by the agent) and also shop around for some items themselves.
