Spanish Mortgages Explained

Never fear though, as there are experts who can guide you through the process and do the negotiating on your behalf. Most will speak fluent English, and have a thorough knowledge of the Spanish market and house-buying process. As it has become more and more popular to buy abroad, the options have increased. You can now take out a 'spanish mortgage? with some of the high street banks and building societies, specially aimed at those buying abroad.
Brokers
The mortgage system and broker system is very different from that of the UK. When it comes to dealing with local bank managers and solicitors, a good broker could make a world of difference, simplifying the process and making sure that you clearly understand all the Spanish terms. Be aware that brokers in Spain are not regulated ? anyone can set up as one. You should look for one with an office, and that is SL registered (similar to a limited company). You can also request to see copies of certificates and qualifications. You will probably need to set up a bank account in Spain, or a multi-currency account.
Law Professionals
You'll need a qualified solicitor or lawyer, who is bilingual and experienced in the legal process of buying in Spain. Anything that requires a signature or payment should be checked with your solicitor first. If you are not going to be resident in Spain, you'd do well to appoint a ?fiscal representative? to deal with correspondence from the government while you're away ? your lawyer is an ideal choice. You may choose to employ a ?gestor?, a local who takes on the task of legal form filler and can assist with permits, licences and importing possessions, as well as financial matters. You may also want to consult a UK professional, such as a financial advisor, to check on tax issues. This will be particularly true if you intend to rent out your property.
Estate Agents
Officially registered, licensed estate agents can be your most useful contact throughout the whole process ? with a good local knowledge they can advise on both finding and buying a property. The internet will provide a vast amount of agents dealing in Spanish property ? check that they are fluent English speakers and fully licensed.

However, using this little plastic card also has serious dangers. Other people can easily steal information from your account and use it for themselves. You might end up with a credit card lawsuit for bills and purchases that you did not even make. Here are a few tips to help avoid identity theft and keep your account safe and sound.
Don't give out info during phone calls
A common M.O. fraud artists use is to call up people and tell them that they represent a business, bank or financial institution, and that they need to get their credit card number for something very important. You should never give out your credit card number over a phone call unless you initiated it. Make sure that the person you are talking over the phone is someone you can trust.
Seek added security features
Try to sign up for a credit card with added features for security. For example, some cards require photo ID. This makes it harder for other people to use your card.
Keep your account details private
If you have to write down your PIN or account number, keep the piece of paper you are writing it down on. Never write the digits on the outer part of a letter or envelope. Never write it down somewhere other people can see it.
Always check your monthly statement
Your monthly statement shows every purchase you used your card on, helping you track down any swipes that may be unknown to you. If you notice something strange with your statement, contact your credit card provider right away and ask about it. Notify them about these charges and that you are positive that you did not make these purchases. You can always get your credit card account suspended or frozen.
Do not throw your receipts away
Receipts are important because they help you match up everything on the credit card statement. These are also very helpful when you are facing a credit card lawsuit. You can use these as legal documents that can help back up your case and reach an amicable settlement.
