Hi.
New to this forum so please be nice !!
Do ALL banks in Spain charge a fee for everything in and out ?
Is there a better one - I know - opinions vary - but all the same is there one that `most people’ go for?

Got one with Barclays & it’s expensive - or so it seems to us - so any ideas please.

Ta very much

Depends on what type of account you open and how much a month you guarantee to credit via pension of salary and on what your minimum balance will be. Some banks also include how many DDs you set up as well in their terms and conditions - as always it pays to shop around.

Don’t assume because of the British name they are the best.

It also pays to ‘negotiate’

Amazing just read your reply in my email and the next email I read was this:

Is it worth moving your mortgage?

Although the base rate is very low at the moment, there are still lots of people who could benefit from moving to another mortgage provider.  We offer an initial free mortgage health check service so why not let us review it for you today?


Or if you’re looking for a mortgage, don’t trawl the internet, let us find the best deal for you. Check out these rates:

I cannot vouch for this service - just thought it was a co-incidence!
