Many of our Wincham Clients have been asking about the implications of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union, and how this may affect their ownership of properties in Spain - either privately or within a UK Limited Company structure.

It should be remembered that Trade Treaties have operated between the United Kingdom and Spain for many years and have existed long before the United Kingdom entry into the EU in 1973. Accordingly, and certainly for the foreseeable future, no notable changes are expected in the way the UK and Spain interact commercially. Following the implementation of "Article 50" the treaties currently existing will remain in place for at least a further two years until any future agreements are negotiated.

On the UK’s ultimate exit from the European Union, commercial trade treaties will continue to operate from a non-offshore position. Spain maintains trade treaties with many countries – whether or not they are within the EU- such as Australia, China, and Uruguay, for example. Further, the UK is only one of many countries that maintain off-shore exceptions with Spain.

If you do have any questions in relation to the United Kingdom leaving the European Union, then please feel free to contact us on info@wincham.com and we will try to address any concerns that you may have.
