Hi .
We live in the UK.
My son is still at secondary school.
Our hope is to buy the land and spend at least 2 months a year in Maella .
Once my son leaves school in 5 years i hope to have built a small place or even container homes.
At this point i would be looking to live in spain full time .

Assuming you haven't started the process to establish residency in Spain by 31/12/20, unless you have a passport from an EU country, or some other route to a right of residence in Spain/EU, you'll need to research visa requirements if you want to spend more than 90 days in any 180 day period in Spain/ Schengen zone.

Agree with missile and every council has different regulations. Some don't allow at all and otherwise you would need planning permission. Even a shed would need planning permission as soon as it's considered living space. Better check before buying the villa.

when you buy your property jointly with her.
How does your son see his future after he leaves school and you're living in Spain full time?
Issues to be considered in addition to building permits and your limited rights after Brexit...

The estate agent who is selling the land has informed me that a mobile home will be permitted on the land.
In the uk there is a law which allows you to spend so many weeks a year on your land , is there a similar law in Spain?
As for my son ,he has expressed a wish to live and work the land.
Im guessing there will still be a way to emigrate to Spain after the Brexit.
As i said previously im new to all this ,so any advice will be great.

Just to add to this, even where we are things have changed. It used to be no problem but the planning laws from 5 years ago no longer count. So unless someone had the mobile home registered, they might have to remove this year if checked. No idea about Maella but different streets and urbanisations can have different regulations.

Bear in mind that if your son still wishes to work the land, and presuming that he'll be of age by then, he must have a legal employment status (salaried, autonomo, ...) and pay healthcare insurance contributions. Unless he has a job lined up when you finally move, he must take out private healthcare insurance, just like you the adults, if you aren't receiving UK State Pensions or are "inactive", i.e. not earning a living.
All this is assuming that, when you do finally move to Spain full time, you all comply with the post-Brexit Visa requirements, in the same way as expats heading for Australia, USA, etc... at present. But there's nothing to stop you buying a "holiday home" now and staying there for the regulated periods until then.
Just make sure from the Authorities that, in 5 years' time, your property will be "legally" inhabitable on a permanent basis.

Thank you all for your input.
Foolishly i thought , buy the land and i'm half way there.
It's looking more like a mine field which can only get wears with Brexit.
I'm starting to think putting a caravan on a caravan site over there would be a lot simpler .
