As I mentioned, we arrive this time on 23rd June and we have a hotel booked for the first 5 days. I want to reall know if its realistic to view and do paperwork on an apartment within a week? We are lucky enough to be able to pay a hefty cash deposit so I am hoping money talks, but woould be interested to hear what the general opinion is. We know Granada well and know where we want tto be and as w have been talking about doing it for a while we have researched estate agents and I have also made enquiries about a couple of places on line that we want to view. I know its going to be a bit of a mad week, but is there a "paperwork" type reason that would stop us renting. Neither of us will be actual residents so would this stop us from being able to rent a place? Any advice/incite/assistance would bbe greatly received,
Thanks, Nicola

it's entirely possible to view an apartment & move in the same day if you have the money to hand
most owners & agents use a standard contract & have them on file
although I am officially resident I have never been asked for the resident cert by a landlord - most will accept your passport as ID & often will prefer it, since it has your photo
that of course might change as the new residency rules filter through - but I'd be surprised if it changes
that quickly
