We're looking to purchase a property in Spain within the next year, and a local bank account is required.
However, its not very accessible from where we live, so my parents will be doing viewings etc for us - we know the areas we wish to buy (it'll be holiday rental and general bolthole for us so not hugely important whether we like it or not), and they'll have POA to do local paperwork for me.
One thing they can't do on my behalf is set up the bank account, so i'll have to do this when i visit in a few weeks time.
Anyone got recent experience of doing this? We'd want something with decent rates for transfers from outside of EU, and with online banking in English.
I believe all i'll need is proof of non residence - i assume residence visa and employment certificate from overseas will do? I'll be able to deposit a few '000 cash. Would they need proof of address overseas?
One website I've read says that they'd need the address of the house I'm buying - is this necessary? could i give the address of my parents house?
Any pointers would be gratefully received!
Thanks
