Hello,
In connection with buying a property in Spain, I had a spanish lawyer which I experienced problems with, i.e. dragging the sale out and half way through presented me with a bill twice the amount than originally agreed to, and demanded payment same day. I therefor contacted an english speaking lawyer that has asked me to forward 1000 euros to his bank account for use at his discretion. Bad experiences fresh in in ones memory, I questioned this where he reminded me that I contacted him, so if I want to use him, it will be under his terms and conditions. I am not used to "just" transferring money in this manner.
My question is if this is normal practice?
