We have recently been asked what someone should do if they are moving back to their home country from living in Spain?
If you are selling your property, see our website for information on selling your property. We can represent you in the sale. Please contact us for information on this.
Other matters to think about after the sale:
1) If you are moving back you need to de-register your Residencia with the police.
2) You should, however, keep your NIE number as you may need it in future (you never know).
3) You also need to cancel your fiscal residency with the tax office and change to paying non-resident taxes in future if you are going to keep your property as a holiday home. Or just cancel it.
4) You don´t need to do anything about your SIP card, as when you register in your home country for medical care, this will eventually get sorted.
5) Padron: if you are keeping your property, you may wish to remain on the Padron as it can be of use, otherwise you do need to remove yourself from the Padron.
6) If you are selling a car, make sure the paperwork is done properly, as otherwise, you could find yourself still liable for the Road Tax.

I have been a resident in Spain for 14 years and have 2 mortgages here. I intend to return to the UK next year. Upon changing my bank account to a “non-resident” account, how may this affect my mortgage with the bank if at all? I intend to keep the properties and rent them out long term. I will of course speak with my bank but looking for any initial information.
