this is bay radio if you look at the
0:03
unemployment figures that came out from
0:04
the uk
0:05
they've just come out today we have got
0:08
nearly a million
0:09
jobs lost since march and a third of
0:13
firms are planning to lay off this
0:15
autumn figures
0:16
on wednesday that's tomorrow for gdp are
0:18
expected to show that uk is well in
0:20
recession
0:20
the biggest fall in gdp since world war
0:23
one
0:24
is expected and these figures for job
0:27
losses are before the government
0:28
furloughs theme ends in october
0:30
and then you're going to see a lot more
0:31
and if you look at spain's figures
0:33
across europe
0:34
and what you have to marry up is a
0:36
number of people
0:38
that have had this uh virus and it is
0:41
you know if you've had it
0:42
okay horrific but against the horrific
0:44
consequences is given for everyone we've
0:46
got people if you look at the queues for
0:47
food in madrid
0:49
in barcelona number of people that don't
0:51
have any jobs i think in the summer
0:53
we're in this bubble especially in our
0:55
area because there's lots of jobs
0:57
but once these jobs go in the winter
0:59
unless people have managed to make
1:00
enough money in the summer
1:02
we are going to see a lot of problems
1:03
and i know most councils are trying to
1:05
put together schemes
1:06
to try and assist people because they
1:08
realize how bad it's going to be
1:10
but on the back of that if we look at
1:11
the uh stock markets
1:14
they're rallying yeah this is what i
1:15
would say it doesn't tell the whole
1:17
story because um obviously you've just
1:19
spelled out uh what's
1:20
possibly going or probably going to
1:21
happen but never been better in some
1:25
indexes and indices in the states the
1:27
stock market you know the ftse again is
1:29
up 1.5 today it seems to travel between
1:31
six
1:32
uh six one six two back down to six just
1:35
under six
1:36
around that and the s p is only one
1:39
percent off it's higher but what you've
1:40
got to think is this is artificially
1:42
high
1:42
governments are propping these up
1:44
governments are putting millions and
1:45
billions
1:46
into the stock markets into the equity
1:48
markets to keep them high
1:50
um because it helps save us it helps
1:52
pensioners it helps them
1:54
bond markets are flat um so if you're in
1:56
bonds you're earning nothing
1:58
but the what they're trying to do is get
2:00
people to take their money and put it
2:01
into the equity markets more people take
2:03
money in
2:04
they can stop their stimulus and it will
2:05
keep itself high if they haven't
2:07
come in and they hadn't propped you up
2:08
the ftse would still be under 5000 and
2:11
everything would be in the doldrums
2:12
so the governments have worked towards
2:15
trying to help us they do realize that
2:18
you know that closing everything down
2:19
maybe wasn't the best idea they should
2:21
just put in say place certain
2:23
precautions
2:24
um and i think people would have
2:25
followed those if you look at heathrow
2:27
today the ceo
2:28
has come out and said tens of thousands
2:30
of jobs have been lost
2:31
july travellers for heathrow was down by
2:33
88
2:35
in july on july last year now no
2:37
business can sustain
2:39
that fall in business and if you look at
2:41
the number of hotels
2:43
everyone is going if you look we've got
2:45
virgin atlantic has applied for chapter
2:47
11 bankruptcy
2:48
pizza express is closing a large number
2:50
of restaurants holiday inn
2:52
has just announced a six month loss of
2:55
uh
2:55
200 million pounds the companies are
2:58
doing well
2:59
are things like domino pizza delivery
3:01
yeah sure
3:02
technology companies uh biotech
3:05
companies
3:06
anything to do with people um working
3:08
remotely
3:09
or getting deliveries to their home
3:10
amazon look how well amazon's done
3:13
uh because obviously people were forced
3:15
to take that route and people are now
3:16
comfortable with that route
3:18
and they've made it very awkward if you
3:19
do want to go out shopping we're in mars
3:21
sanitizers etcetera that most people are
3:23
still buying online
3:25
which isn't helping in the retail
3:26
industry or the retail parks
3:28
but in the uk they did see an upturn in
3:31
uh spending
3:32
in july but most of that was done online
3:36
right so we haven't seen we are not
3:38
seeing any sort of recovery
3:40
to normality um what we have had is
3:43
gold gold has gone to its highest ever
3:46
it's 2
3:47
000 over 2 000 and that's the first time
3:50
in history that happened last week
3:52
and that is great if you already own
3:53
gold but most financial
3:55
experts think it's overbought and
3:58
there's one person who is very bull on
3:59
gold and his name is dennis gartman
4:01
and he says he's getting out of gold and
4:03
he's waiting for a correction
4:05
uh the reason gold is so uh is being
4:07
bought is because it has a real value
4:09
it's got an intrinsic value it's not
4:10
like paper money they can print whenever
4:12
they want
4:13
and if you want to buy gold there's lots
4:15
of things online saying click here buy
4:17
physical gold and we will send you a
4:18
certificate you own it be very very
4:20
careful
4:21
most of these are scams if you want to
4:23
buy gold something like the royal mint
4:25
they have bullion offers where you can
4:27
buy gold coins you can
4:30
sell gold also if you want to go into
4:32
gold you could buy gold mining companies
4:34
the values have soared
4:35
by 116 billion so far this year
4:39
the reason people are going into gold is
4:41
obviously because it's a safe haven
4:42
also because it has a tr it has an
4:44
actual intrinsic value
4:47
and also because government bonds uh
4:50
their value the yields are very low
4:52
um in so what you pay in you don't get
4:54
much money out
4:56
um so and dividends have gone down so
4:58
people are
4:59
holding gold do you deal with it much um
5:02
in any way no
5:03
we do buy gold funds okay so you've got
5:05
funds that invest
5:06
in gold mining companies and some people
5:08
have come to said we want precious
5:10
metals
5:10
and we will go into that we don't do
5:12
gold bullion you need to go to a
5:13
specialist for that and i'd be very very
5:15
careful as i said i would go something
5:16
like the royal mint
5:17
where they're not going to charge you
5:18
extra on top because if you think that
5:20
the price of the market say is 2
5:21
000 maybe if you're going to buy a
5:23
normal place you're going to have to pay
5:24
2
5:25
100. so you're already paying on top of
5:27
what is a very very high price
5:30
and also if you do have physical gold
5:32
where do you store it
5:33
yeah i don't i was going to say i mean
5:35
you you actually get the certificates
5:37
saying you own this something like that
5:38
but i'd actually want it there i'd want
5:40
a couple of those bars in your house
5:41
and where'd you store it did you have a
5:43
safe bill what happens if someone finds
5:45
out and they come and burgle you
5:47
uh what happens if you have a fire what
5:48
happens if you're dying you don't tell
5:49
you anybody i had someone years and
5:51
years ago
5:52
this must have been the last crash so
5:53
we're talking 2007 2008.
5:56
he said he'd bought loads of gold and
5:57
he'd buried it in his garden and not
5:59
told anyone where it
6:00
is wow and i said to him right so when
6:03
you die
6:04
your wife is gonna have to get a
6:05
bulldozer and bulldoze a whole garden to
6:08
to find it and he didn't think of that
6:09
because he was worried that someone
6:10
might find out and might
6:12
you know try and hurt his family um so i
6:14
said you've got to write it down
6:16
somewhere even lodge it with the bank
6:17
you know make it secure so someone knows
6:19
where this gold is he buried in the
6:21
garden like samuel peeps burying his big
6:22
roll of parmesan cheese
6:25
yeah during the fire of london oh yeah
6:27
because parmesan you know
6:28
it was a delicacy hard to get hold of he
6:31
buried this big wheel of cheese in the
6:33
garden
6:34
people digging in gardens we know it's
6:36
either for cheese or gold
6:39
but no i can understand people you know
6:40
having a little bit of gold if you've
6:42
got the money isn't a bad idea if you
6:44
went to
6:45
abu dhabi and dubai they've actually got
6:48
vending machines
6:49
where you can buy little ingots of gold
6:51
for certain amounts of money
6:52
and that would be a good idea i can't
6:54
see it happening sort of in suburbs
6:56
in england or in spain but if you go to
6:59
the cities like london
7:00
you should be on you know madrid
7:02
barcelona even valencia you'll find
7:04
somewhere to buy gold
7:05
and remember you don't want to buy if
7:07
you are going to buy it you don't want
7:08
to pay too much above what the price is
7:10
so before you go and buy gold check what
7:12
the price is in the market
7:14
and know what you're buying if you buy
7:15
jewelry it's always marked up by about a
7:17
hundred percent
7:18
so jewellery is not a good idea um same
7:20
for but gold coins look into
7:23
um but as i said if you buy online and
7:25
you're offered a certificate and someone
7:27
say look there'll be a little bit of
7:28
gold attached most of that is a scam
7:30
and what happens if things do go wrong
7:32
how do you get in touch with them to get
7:34
your gold delivered to you if you want
7:35
your gold
7:36
um so i can understand people wanting to
7:39
hedge their bets but please be very very
7:42
careful so i guess um
7:43
as far as your portfolios goes again
7:45
diversification has come into this
7:47
oh it has and i'm happy to say touchwood
7:50
that um our clients all of them are back
7:54
to the levels they were um when the
7:57
crash happened
7:58
um if they've invested in a diversified
8:00
uh market portfolio with us if they've
8:02
invested in portfolios run by certain
8:04
um big institutions they haven't seen
8:07
the upturn
8:08
yet but it's looking very very positive
8:12
and for new investors um they've made a
8:15
lot of money i had someone invested in
8:17
may
8:18
um in a portfolio that we've used all
8:19
along so it hasn't been tailored just
8:21
because of the crisis because some
8:23
financial advisors have been very very
8:24
crafty and they've gone in and looked at
8:26
all the funds that have done well
8:28
through the crisis and put together a
8:30
portfolio saying this is the portfolio
8:32
you would have had and you would have
8:33
made
8:33
you know 60 well that's a load of border
8:35
dash
8:37
you should ask them to show someone's
8:38
portfolio from a year two years ago with
8:40
those funds in
8:41
to prove it because most of them haven't
8:42
but i had someone who invested in may
8:44
he's already up twenty percent but he
8:47
was adventurous and a balanced one
8:49
you know is up twelve percent because
8:51
the markets have come back
8:52
and there's still a lot of potential out
8:54
there
8:56
and there's still a lot of undervalued
8:57
stocks if you look at uk smaller
8:59
companies they're still undervalued
9:01
there's still a lot of value in those
9:03
once we've got a bit more
9:04
news on the economy a bit more news on
9:06
brexit most of these
9:08
companies do have cash um and they will
9:10
then
9:11
invest and we'll see their shares go up
9:12
and of course it's your your business to
9:14
keep an eye on that sort of thing
9:15
get your jeweler's eyepiece in on these
9:17
uh on these businesses and their stuff
9:18
it is it's very difficult at the moment
9:20
because things move so quickly but we do
9:21
have a very good head office that does
9:23
give us help and guidance
9:25
plus we're in touch with most of the
9:26
fund managers
9:28
and they give us talks on what they
9:30
think is happening with the market
9:31
we have women webinars we've been very
9:34
very busy with them giving us the views
9:35
on the market so you can formulate your
9:37
own view you get
9:38
say 10 in and then you pick the bits out
9:40
of each of them that seem to marry up
9:42
and you form a a way forward from there
9:46
we've also had a lot of people coming in
9:47
with pensions
9:49
quite a few few people with final salary
9:51
pensions may be wanting to
9:52
transfer them for most them we have to
9:54
say no
9:56
because your final salary is actually
9:58
guaranteed
9:59
so even through this stock market crash
10:02
your pension was always guaranteed if
10:03
you move it
10:04
and you happen to move it uh when the
10:07
markets went down in march
10:09
you could and you'd be invested before
10:11
the downturn you would have lost say 30
10:14
so you have to be very very careful and
10:15
we are erring on the side of caution
10:18
with most final salary pension transfers
10:20
some of them
10:21
yes there is a good reason to transfer
10:22
as i said before and it's very very
10:24
expensive now the fca has brought in
10:26
so many rules that to get the report to
10:29
allow you to transfer
10:31
is on average about 2 000 pounds
10:34
so it's a huge amount to take if you
10:36
still want to go ahead of it
10:37
you can do as an insistent client but
10:39
what that means if you do it as an
10:41
insistent client it means you've got no
10:42
right of recourse
10:43
should you ever say i wasn't given the
10:45
proper advice because you've insisted on
10:47
doing it your way
10:48
yeah let's talk about spain because
10:50
there was um something you wanted to
10:52
mention yeah there's two things um
10:53
i've had lots of people i did have lots
10:55
of people call me they were brits
10:57
that were stuck here because of the
10:58
crisis and couldn't get back to the uk
11:00
and it meant that they
11:01
stayed in spain more than 183 days in
11:04
360.
11:06
and you know they said to me what does
11:08
this mean and this was about a month
11:10
two months ago and i said well the oecd
11:12
has come out and said that most
11:13
countries
11:14
should be fair on this and accept the
11:16
fact that people were stuck here
11:18
through no fault of their own and they
11:20
shouldn't then say that they're tax
11:22
residents
11:23
so most countries said yes that was fine
11:25
now spain are menard and apparently
11:26
spain has decided
11:28
that if you did get stuck here for the
11:30
crisis and you stayed over 183 days
11:32
you are tax resident in spain um
11:36
i think people are appealing against
11:38
this there was one um
11:40
chap who appealed i think he was
11:42
lebanese and they tried to get him for
11:45
tax and he took him to court and it and
11:46
he was actually ruled against him um
11:49
he'd been here for over 183 days in 360.
11:52
and they ruled that meant he was tax
11:55
resident in spain
11:56
and he had to pay taxes in spain he's
11:58
appealing again
12:00
um most people hopefully
12:03
will have stayed under the radar and
12:05
won't have um
12:07
the tax the tax authorities won't know
12:10
yes because it seems a bit harsh if you
12:11
couldn't but it is very very harsh you
12:13
didn't have any choice to go
12:15
and you were stuck here um but because
12:17
of that maybe you came
12:18
in i don't know last year november um
12:22
or before then and you were planning to
12:23
stay just till
12:25
say march and you couldn't move out till
12:28
may
12:28
june or even well no flights didn't
12:30
start when don't you july yeah
12:31
so you were stuck here so be very very
12:33
careful um
12:35
and if you do get any problems go and
12:37
see a good uh
12:38
tax advisor and they will try and help
12:40
you but that is very worrying that
12:43
spain has um ignored the advice i guess
12:46
there'll be one
12:46
like the fella there i mean if he won
12:48
the appeal that would be that
12:50
case wouldn't so just be very very
12:54
careful
12:55
and i am disappointed in spain doing
12:57
that this crisis we're all meant to come
12:59
together
13:00
we're all meant to help each other we're
13:01
all meant to work as one
13:03
and they are not they are penalizing
13:05
people through no fault of their own
13:07
and i think that needs to be addressed
13:09
and also in spain as we know if we're
13:11
brits here
13:12
um there is going to be a brexit at the
13:15
end of the year oh yeah remember that
13:17
yep and it looks like it's going to be
13:18
no deal now
13:20
most people you need to reply for a
13:21
residencia before the 31st of december
13:25
however it's very difficult to get an
13:27
appointment
13:28
and what will happen is after that we
13:30
need a residency card which is called
13:33
a tie it's a target identi dad
13:36
the extra hero okay it contains your
13:40
information your name your
13:41
surname period of validity a unique
13:45
number
13:46
and a foreign identification number on
13:48
the 6th of july the spanish
13:50
government introduced the new document
13:52
for all uk nationals living
13:54
in spain who have rights under the rural
13:57
agreement to stay here
13:59
okay um so all uk
14:03
nationals legally and i have to point
14:05
this out legally
14:06
living in spain so you have to have had
14:09
your green
14:10
little residency or either the a4 or the
14:12
little credit card one
14:14
if you've been living under the radar
14:16
tough if you don't go and get that now
14:17
you will be stuffed have the right to
14:19
request this card
14:21
uh so you have to have registered for
14:23
residency you're too late now
14:25
you have to reside for your residency
14:27
before the 6th of july
14:30
but if you've got your permanent
14:31
residency the the the whatever you want
14:33
that that serves as well you don't have
14:35
to have the ti
14:36
but if you need if you need it if you
14:37
need to update it you might as well get
14:39
it but it says you may exchange it for
14:40
the tie if you want there is no deadline
14:43
for doing it
14:44
but authorities are recommending that
14:46
you do it okay
14:47
okay um and it's saying that there's
14:50
only one place in this area you can do
14:52
it if you're in the costa blanca and
14:54
that is in
14:54
alexandria you have to get an
14:56
appointment by ella canty
14:58
um and it's it's
15:03
and you have to go twice to do this and
15:05
the best thing to do is to get someone
15:06
to help you
15:07
now local historians local accountants
15:11
are finding this
15:12
very difficult to do so what they're
15:13
suggesting is you find an immigration
15:15
lawyer
15:16
who's based in alicante to do it with
15:18
you so they can assist you with getting
15:19
the appointments at the police center
15:21
and they can tell you exactly what
15:22
documents are needed because there's
15:24
several papers that you need
15:27
and first of all you will be applied if
15:28
you've been in here for less than five
15:30
years
15:31
you'll be issued with a temporary tie
15:33
okay which is valid for five years and
15:35
then you can apply for your permanent
15:37
one after that's up
15:38
if you've been here for more than five
15:39
years you will be issued with a
15:41
permanent tie
15:42
that is valid for 10 years and you must
15:46
review your
15:47
tie when it expires and you must do
15:50
within a month of it expiring
15:54
before a month before up to three months
15:56
after if you don't
15:58
then that's it and if you move to spain
16:00
from the first of january
16:01
2021 they will be different immigration
16:04
requirements
16:05
um it could be similar to getting your
16:07
visa that they had in place for
16:09
the russians and chinese where you have
16:10
to buy a property after us over a
16:12
certain value
16:13
and have us and it was half a million
16:15
and have a certain amount in the banks
16:17
we're not sure what that will be
16:18
so if you have got your permanent
16:20
residency and you do want to exchange it
16:22
to a tie
16:23
you can do so i would wait at the moment
16:25
because it seems they're very busy
16:26
we will all have to do it in the end
16:28
we're all going to have to have the tie
16:30
at the moment there is no deadline so
16:32
please don't panic so if people say oh
16:34
you need you know it's like down
16:36
the pub or in a bar or you need your tie
16:38
if you're going to stay here
16:39
no if you have your green residencia
16:42
and it says temporary or permanent and
16:44
you're okay
16:46
if you're applying for it now you may
16:48
still get it
16:49
but the deadline was the sixth of july
16:51
but i think because of what's happening
16:53
they may be extending that slightly
16:54
yeah but please if you do want to get
16:57
your residencia try
16:58
as hard as possible to get it before the
17:00
31st of december
17:01
because as we said after that it could
17:03
be completely difficult different to get
17:05
and it could be a bit more difficult as
17:07
we know in spain they love the paperwork
17:09
yeah i finally got my driving license
17:11
through last week it was
17:12
it was supposed to have been a lot
17:13
sooner but obviously things got held up
17:16
and yeah there we go it expires 20 30. i
17:19
think well yeah boy it seems and then
17:20
you have to take another little test
17:22
don't you funny little driving i don't
17:23
know i did the little test
17:24
before ahead of that yeah where you have
17:26
to keep it it was like a video game
17:28
which i was quite good at
17:29
yeah my friend she said she was useless
17:32
but she still passed yeah
17:33
i think they just put everyone through i
17:35
don't know anyone that failed the whole
17:36
thing
17:37
so and again if you haven't got a
17:39
spanish driver's license
17:40
and you want to be driving in spain and
17:41
you live here you need to get a spanish
17:43
driving licence
17:44
i think most people are aware of that
17:46
but please do that as well
17:47
um try and get all everything in order
17:50
so
17:50
if we have a no deal or if there's more
17:53
negotiations going on after december
17:55
that you can legally stay here if you
17:57
want to because also what you have to
17:59
remember is
18:00
it's not going to be 183 days in 360.
18:03
going forward it's 90 days in 180 you
18:06
can only say
18:07
90 days in 180. if you stay more than
18:10
that
18:10
it doesn't matter if you've got
18:11
residency or not they all consider you
18:13
tax resident
18:15
and what i can say is expats are an easy
18:17
target whether you're british dutch
18:19
german french
18:20
whatever you're an easy target for the
18:22
spanish so if they find
18:24
out and it's easy to do that they can
18:25
get your bank records and they can find
18:27
out you've been to mercadona each week
18:29
you've used the cash point each week
18:31
and it's up to you not them it's up to
18:33
you to prove
18:34
that you haven't been here more than 90
18:37
days in 180 you have to have
18:38
proof if they say you've been here if
18:41
you can't prove
18:42
it they will treat you as tax resident
18:44
but is that changing for
18:45
that's not changing for everyone else no
18:47
not if you've got residents yeah no but
18:49
term
18:49
just bridge because of brexit yeah but
18:51
not everyone not term dutch and no no no
18:53
this is just for britain yes exactly
18:54
yeah
18:57
you've got freedom movement with dutch
18:58
but again if you're here more than 183
19:00
and 360
19:02
you know they will consider you tax
19:03
residents in spain it doesn't matter if
19:05
you've got residency or not because
19:06
someone came to me the other day they
19:07
said
19:08
oh we've been here 10 years but we
19:10
haven't got our residency and we're not
19:11
tax resident and i looked to them i said
19:13
look you are resident annual tax
19:15
resident
19:16
uh you've got a residence bank account
19:19
the bank's changed you
19:20
hacienda knows how cinder can go back
19:22
five years remember
19:24
it's not like one year so if you haven't
19:26
done your tax returns and you've been
19:27
living here they can go back five years
19:29
they can claim all that back tax and
19:31
they can fine you
19:32
so for those of you who've been living
19:33
under the radar think you can still do
19:35
it
19:35
please please please think again please
19:38
try and get everything in order as much
19:39
as possible i'm not trying to scare
19:40
people
19:41
if you live in spain and you like living
19:43
in spain and you want to stay here
19:44
most people do everything above board
19:47
there's a few who don't
19:48
so please just take care christina brady
19:50
is in for on black tower financial
19:52
management first one back in
19:53
post lock down in the studio here um so
19:56
what are you doing work wise you still
19:57
you're pretty much out and about in at
19:58
the office now we
19:59
we are actually very very busy um as i
20:02
said to you i was out seeing a client
20:03
yesterday
20:04
um it was quite a long drive um usually
20:07
people come to the office which means i
20:08
can see more clients in the day but if
20:10
they're elderly
20:11
and they find it difficult to come to
20:12
the office i do go and visit them
20:14
but this one was quite a driver it took
20:15
up more maybe about five six hours of
20:17
the day which means you can't do
20:18
anything else
20:19
and when you're busy that is quite a
20:20
long time we've had lots of people
20:22
contacting us they've got
20:24
cure-ops with other financial advisors
20:28
and their tie-in period was 10 years and
20:31
their 10 years are coming up
20:32
and they're coming to me to transfer
20:34
because maybe their portfolios haven't
20:35
done well
20:36
they're not happy with the charges and
20:38
most of them think after 10 years their
20:39
charges have gone to zero now with this
20:41
one company
20:42
um the charges don't go to zero they
20:44
carry on at the same rate
20:46
even though you've come to the end of
20:47
your 10-year charging period
20:50
and it's quite a high charge so i'm
20:51
working a lot on people trying to
20:52
transfer these over
20:54
to cheaper investments because you try
20:57
and keep
20:58
the charges as low as possible and also
21:01
most of these people have been invested
21:03
in what we would call mirror funds
21:05
internal funds which means you don't get
21:07
the same gains as if you're in market
21:09
funds
21:10
um so they're losing out on the uh
21:13
revenue they're getting well the growth
21:14
they're getting from their funds and
21:16
also the fees are
21:17
dwindling their returns so we've got
21:19
lots of people coming to us as well
21:21
people coming to us from continental
21:22
wealth who had uh
21:24
pensions with them maybe their pensions
21:27
have fallen
21:28
um and there's not much of a value in
21:30
there
21:31
and it makes sense to maybe close them
21:33
down to avoid charges
21:35
but still keeping the options going if
21:37
there's any recompense for
21:39
miss selling or anything if any of the
21:40
court cases that going through for
21:42
continental wealth come out in their
21:43
favor
21:44
so we're working on that as well
21:46
obviously we can only take on so many
21:47
because there's a lot of work
21:48
involved in the continental wealth stuff
21:50
but we do try to give people guidance
21:52
and point them in the right direction uh
21:55
regarding people that are being charged
21:56
too much on previous things they took
21:58
out
21:58
if you took it out 10 years ago it was
22:02
quite
22:02
usual for financial advisors to earn
22:05
quite a lot of commission
22:06
in those days there wasn't so many rules
22:08
and regulations it was the same in the
22:09
uk
22:10
financial advisors used to earn a lot in
22:12
commission since then
22:13
things have changed in the uk you've got
22:15
the non-commission route
22:17
in spain now you can pay upfront fees or
22:19
you can pay commission and commission
22:20
has come down substantially
22:22
so people are finding when they come to
22:24
the end of their five
22:25
eight ten year thing they're looking at
22:27
the charges and realizes they can get
22:28
them
22:29
cheaper elsewhere and if you're in that
22:30
situation or you've got an investment
22:32
you want reviewed
22:33
please just get in touch we are here to
22:35
