SGM have been my lawyers for years and I've had some complicated matters over time which they've handled impeccably. So I'm sorry it didn't work out for you as I hold them in very high regard. I'm almost certain you need a substantial amount each in your Spanish accounts and to be present in Spain and apply in person for your residencia with proof of 3 months living. Whether you rent or not if you don't fly over and have proof you can't obtain it. Personally I was under the assumption long term renting was generally 6 months or longer, other people may consider 12 or 3 months to be long term I suppose! Your question of a break clause is an impossible question to answer. If you and a landlord agree on satisfactorily terms then anything is possible. In my experience if someone is renting their property long term it generally means they don't want their tenant to vacate quickly so a break clause probably wouldn't be agreed on. It sounds like you're in a bit of a catch 22 and I wish you luck in the move. I'd also figure at least a 12 month build time from the start date if you're lucky. I don't think any of my friends here in Spain had their property delivered in less than a year.

Many thanks for your advice and recommendations. As I said in my original post I am sure SGM are highly competent but after 2 contacts we just did not feel they fully understood what we were trying to do and advice us how they could help - seemed to me that they were very comfortable with conveyancing but a little out of depth when we started to talk about government and not state pensions and our inability to transfer the pensions to Spain directly by the pension provider. Some of it might have been lost in translation but we did not feel there was any point in continuing the engagement as we were not getting the warm fuzzy. We are not saying they should be discounted by others as they clearly have a large base of customers who are very happy but they are not for us for our particular requirements at this time.
We take on board your observations about Residencia and unless there is a let up of COVID you may well be right in that we are stuck in a catch 22 situation. Just when we though things were opening up you may have heard there is a fresh outbreak in Leicester which is not many miles from our own home and so it goes on!
Thank again for your contribution. Much appreciated.
