Service 02 — Savings

Your bills speak Spanish. So do we.

A gas tariff never renegotiated, oversized electrical power, duplicate insurance, avoidable bank fees: most expat households pay every month for contracts signed in a hurry. We review everything — and make the changes with you, on the spot.

Why Mémoria

One contact, three languages, nothing lost

Lived, not theoretical

Every service exists because we went through it ourselves — relocation, purchase, renovation, contracts. We know the pitfalls because we've met them.

Your documents stay yours

Everything is built in your own storage space. You can revoke our access at any time. No passwords stored, GDPR-compliant processing.

Paid by you, not by them

We take no commission from the suppliers, banks or insurers we recommend. Our only fees are yours — our advice serves one side only.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

My documents are sensitive. Where are they stored?

With you. Everything is built in your own space (Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive): you own it and can revoke our access at any time. No passwords are ever stored in the folders — only references. Our data processing is contractually governed and GDPR-compliant.

Do you handle procedures on my behalf?

Routine procedures, yes — with your power of attorney where required. For matters reserved to regulated professions (complex tax, legal), we work with a partner gestoría and lawyers — you keep a single point of contact.

How is the Savings Audit variable fee calculated?

15% of the annualised savings identified and implemented during the audit, capped at €400. The calculation is line by line in the report (rate before, rate after, supporting documents), which you approve before invoicing. If we find nothing, you only pay the €99 base fee.

Couldn't I do all this myself?

Absolutely. In practice, it takes knowing the order of procedures, administrative Spanish, the regulated tariffs that don't appear in comparison sites, and keeping a filing system going over years. That time and consistency is what we sell.

I rent out my property in Madrid but live elsewhere. Is this for me?

That's actually where the Home Dossier delivers the most: rental contracts, mandatory certificates, invoices, remote interventions. Tell us about your situation in the call.

What languages do you work in?

English or French with you, Spanish with the administrations and suppliers. That bridge is precisely what we provide.
