1. So you bought a property in spain, before and after brexit which proves this to be the case??
2. Didnt require a mortgage so non-issue
3. This is not spain, its austria
4. Thats to do with spanish housing market, not brexit - yeh you will say about tranfer rates yadda yadda yadda, but they already rise and fall, so again not a total brexit issue
5. Taxes are different in every country, again not brexit related and would taxes be an issue if he wasnt earning in spain???
I think that covers it all.....so yet again you cant always blame brexit, but i can see how easy it is for you to do that, with out knowing th efull circumstances and then throwing in a random country that isnt spain.
as your school report used to say "must do better"
1.) I have never bought a property in Spain, however, listening to the experts, even those who income come from helping Brits buy in Europe they admit it is harder post Brexit.
2.) Lucky him, but many others would use a mortgage.
3.) It shows that things changed post Brexit across many areas of the EU that people did not think about.
4.) I was not talking about our currency crash or the property cost movements, just the actual process and greater expense incurred from the additional paperwork. You simply highlighted
5.) I am talking about the actual tax rates being different between an EU-citizen and a non-EU citizen. For example Spain will charge an extra 5% tax on rental income for non-EU citizens. In addition, pre-Brexit the owner could offset expenses against the tax, so yet another cost.
I think that covers it all, my school report may not have always have been perfect but I managed to even do some basic research. Undeniably Brexit has made "moving to" and "buying property" in the EU, including Spain significantly harder and more expensive. Whether or not you think that is a good thing is down to your personal opinions but does not change the facts.
