British expats in Spain nightmare as Britain is not ‘seeking to negotiate’ the 90 day rule | Travel News | Travel

During his visit to the Canary Islands, Eliott told the Canarian Weekly: “We hear all the time that people are selling their holiday homes in Spain, and here in the Canary Islands, as they feel it just isn’t worth having them anymore.”

He added: “That’s got to be of interest to the Spanish Government and their economy, so I think it’s important that the effects are properly understood and conveyed to them accordingly.”

Some British expats, particularly the elderly, have decided to sell their homes due to the complicated residency rules.

British expats can still obtain Spanish residency but may struggle to find evidence to prove they lived in Spain before the end of the transition period.
