Should You Sell Your Property Before Moving to Spain? | Tax Implications Explained
Are you planning to move to Spain but still own a property in your home country? When should you sell it, and could the timing affect your tax position?
In Video 3 of our five part series with Josh Williams of Ambient Wealth Management, Lisa Sadleir discusses why the timing of selling property before moving to Spain can be an important part of your relocation and financial planning.
Selling your home before you move, selling after you become a Spanish tax resident, or keeping the property and renting it out can have different financial and tax considerations.
We discuss why it is important to think about the timing of a property sale before moving to Spain and why your tax residence at the time of the sale can be an important consideration.
If you are planning to move to Spain, retire to Spain, move to Spain after 50 or relocate from the UK, this is an important financial planning conversation to have before you make the move.
