We offer expat services in Malaga and Spain. With over 15 years experience, you can rely on us. We get things done!
Our fees are transparent, with no hidden costs.
We don’t change our fees according to how much we think a client can afford, as many gestors do. (Don’t tell them we told you!)
If you need help with something you don’t see here, then WhatsApp us, or email us.
VEHICLES
Spanish car ownership transfers, vehicle reports, Spanish driving licence exchange, registrations/importations. Replacement vehicle documents, ITV service, de-registrations (baja), and much more.

€60 (Plus official fees/taxes)
We can transfer car ownership in Spain* totally remotely. We take care of all the paperwork and change ownership the same day. The new Permiso de Circulación is back in about a week.
All done online without trips to DGT.
*We cannot do it if the buyer lives in the Valencia Region, Canary Islands, Melilla, or Ceuta.

From €625
We can register your car in Malaga & the Costa del Sol from another EU country. With contacts at ITV and Trafico, we take the stress out of the matriculation process. The Police are clamping down on foreign cars being driven in Spain - register your car as soon as possible. Prices start from €625 + taxes. PLEASE NOTE, WE ARE NO LONGER IMPORTING UK CARS.

(INFORME VEHICULO) €15
If you want to check a car before you buy it then a vehicle report (informe vehiculo) is advised.
It can save you time and money by letting you know if the vehicle is in a position to be transferred into your name. Also if there are any problems with the vehicle the seller may not have disclosed, such as fines, embargoes, financing etc. Get a DGT Vehicle report.

€150 (incl. taxes)
We can exchange a UK driving licence to a Spanish one without an appointment at DGT. We take care of all the paperwork and trips to Trafico without a prior appointment. We can also exchange driving licences from the EU/EEA.

Lost your vehicle documents? We can get a replacement Permiso de Circulación for you. We can also get a replacement Ficha Técnica if you had the new white-style sheet. This means your vehicle is newer than November 15th 2015.

We can deregister your vehicle to export to a different country (Baja Definitiva por Traslado a Otro País) or temporarily (baja temporal) if you are not going to use it for a while. This ensures you won't receive fines or have the vehicle impounded and exempts you from paying road tax (IVTM).
We can also re-register it if needed.

(NOTIFICACIÓN DE VENTA) €55
If you sell a car, it's advisable to make a sale notification. This is because it is getting more common for buyers not to transfer ownership. This leads to the seller being responsible for any fines, road taxes, embargoes etc that are incurred after the sale. We've had cases where registered owners have discovered their car wasn't transferred up to 3 years after the sale!


ADMIN & PAPERWORK
Help with paperwork such as: Rental registration number (NRA), digital certificates, nota simple, expat health insurance, mortgage fees refund, digital nomad visa, autonomo, non-resident tax, NIE/TIE, and other Spanish bureaucratic nightmares.
Starting July 1, 2025, Spain requires all short-term rental properties to obtain a Rental Registration Number (Número de Registro de Alquiler, or NRA). It is mandatory for listing properties on online platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com. Without this number, listings will be removed from these platforms from July 1, 2025.

If you took out a mortgage in Spain, especially before 2019, there’s a good chance you were charged expenses that you shouldn’t have been. Contact us to reclaim those fees.
FREE consultation to check your eligibility.
Nearly 95% win rate for all cases up to now.

From €45/month
Expat health insurance, also known as "incoming insurance," is an excellent option for your initial years in Spain. It offers reliable and affordable coverage while meeting the legal requirements for securing your TIE card, visa, or temporary residence permit. Monthly payments. Cancel anytime, no questions asked.

Buying & selling in Malaga can be tricky. There are many dodgy estate agents and lawyers. We work with trusted colleagues to provide property lawyer services in Malaga for less than 0.9% of the sales price (negotiable). Contact us for more info and a free quote.

An digital certificate allows you to securely perform online procedures with the Spanish Public Administration. You can pay taxes, file tax returns, check fines, make appointments, sign forms and documents electronically, without having to go in person. It is an essential tool if you live in Spain, have a property in Spain or even just visit regularly.

The Spanish Digital Nomad Visa enables non-EU citizens to work in Spain remotely. It also allows you to bring your spouse and children with you. It has various tax benefits and can lead to a 5 year residency permit. Up to 20% of your earned income can be with a Spanish company.

EXCELLENT Based on 98 reviews Anna Batista2025-07-24 Fantastic service!! quick, easy and very good communication. They helped us change over our new motorbike paperwork into our name. Spain is notorious for its never ending paperwork - so this agency was a lifesaver - it would have taken us weeks to so what they managed in just a day or 2. Highly recommend. Fallon Cowley2025-07-18 Del was very helpful and the process to obtain NRA was very easy from start to finish. Rick Hellawell2025-07-08 Dale was excellent, very clear with instructions, and patient when you messed it up. All we were doing was getting a scooter ownership changed to us, but that is neither simple, nor necessarily cheap. Though is was pretty cheap with Simple English Advice. We are based in Catalyuna, and they are down south somewhere, but everything was done over whatasapp. Very painless for us and effecient by them. I would definitely recommend them Cathy Cook2025-07-03 Turned the nightmare that is the Spanish regulation system into a breeze. Applied for our Short Term Rental Registration Number on our behalf. Straightforward and quick. Highly recommended! Kalayna R2025-07-03 I hired Simple English Advice to obtain the newly required NRA number for my rental property in Spain. The process was straightforward and I was able to get this important number quickly thanks to Simple English Advice. I can highly recommend their service if you don't want to go through this administrative process by yourself and don't mind paying their related fee which appears reasonable. Frank Birkin2025-07-02 Simple English provided me with a prompt service and I recommend them for your Spanish professional consultancy needs. Wendy Smith2025-06-20 If you are running short of time to meet the Spanish rental property registration by 1st July, I can definitely recommend using SEA to help obtain this easily and quickly. Many thanks Del Stewart Carroll2025-06-20 Fantastic service helping us secure an NRA for our short-term rental ahead of the July deadline. We thought we were experienced enough in the world of online Spanish bureaucracy to navigate this issue but the system broke us! Del and his team sorted everything for us in less than 24 hours. Outstanding! We are now on their website looking to see how else we can work with Simple English Advice going forwards! Cindy Schelstraete2025-06-19 Very satisfied with the service. Fast and correct. Definitely recommended. Sarah Blackburn2025-06-18 Del helped my get a short term rental license registration number for our holiday let. He made it really straight forward and the whole process was really smooth. Would definitely use SEA again.
