@englishjohncostablanca: I've helped hundreds of families make the move to Spain. 🇪🇸 Most of them came to me after nearly making one of these mistakes — or after someone else already had. ❌ Tax planning done wrong = 5 to 6 figure mistakes. The UK and Spain have very different rules. Get your timing wrong and the Spanish tax authority wants a cut of your house sale. Planning ahead protects everything you've built. ❌ Immigration done wrong = refused visas and wasted months. The paperwork, the sequencing, the legal requirements — one error and your application is rejected. I've seen it derail moves that were years in the making. ❌ Buying property without the right guidance = serious financial and legal risk. Spain's property market has pitfalls that simply don't exist in the UK. Surveys, lawyers, contracts — it all needs handling correctly. Get all three right, in the right order, and your move to Spain becomes one of the best decisions you'll ever make. ✅ If you're planning your move and want to do it properly — send me a message on WhatsApp. Link in bio. 👆 #CostaBlancaLiving #MoveToSpain #SpainExpat #BritishExpats #AlicanteLiving
