Buying in Spain from the UK after Brexit
What changed for British buyers, what did not, and the paperwork that comes first.
Buying from the UK
Buying on the Costa del Sol from the UK
Brexit changed less about buying a home in Spain than most people expect, and more about living in it. These guides answer what a buyer coming from the UK asks first: how long you can stay, how the money moves from pounds to euros, what each country taxes, and how you get here.
The 90/180 rule: how long you can stay in your Spanish home
Owning a home here does not add a single day. How the rule is counted, the new border checks, and the visa for longer stays.
Paying in pounds: exchange rates and moving the money
A deposit and a completion in euros, from a salary or a sale in pounds — and where the cost hides.
Owning in Spain while living in the UK: tax on both sides
What Spain taxes a UK resident for, what HMRC still sees, and how the two fit together.
Getting to the Costa del Sol from the UK
Flights into Málaga, the drive to each town and the train along the coast.
The general buying guide covers the legal process, purchase taxes and timeline for every foreign buyer. Prices across this site also read in pounds.
