Having lived beside an Airbnb apartment in Glasgow, I'd love to see them outlawed in residential apartments all over the world. Only allow them for detached houses and even then some heavy restrictions on licensing in some neighbourhoods.

Bring back the hotel!

Hold onto your hats - just announced that junts has withdrawn support for the government. Possible election could be coming.

Pedro Sanchez and his party have been so bad for Spain....so bad that I'd like to see Vox gain more seats this time around.

thats how bad Pedro Sanchez has been for Spain!

Will this law include EU nationals? It’s the Dutch that are buying the property. Followed by the Germans and Swiss. The Dutch have sent the prices through the roof but because Spain are in the EU , their hands are tied. Banning non EU citizens is just a publicity stunt. Won’t change a thing. Spain has become an expensive, dangerous , corrupt and dirty place.

British were buying run down property in the mountains where I lived. Areas where Spanish people were actually vacating. They brought much needed money inland. This Sanchez government is comical. Brits were actually breathing life back into parts of Spain that were becoming ghost towns.

​​​From what I have read the change would apply to non EU non residents purchasing property. I think that it can't be applied to EU citizens as I'm nearly sure EU states one can buy property in another member country under same legislation/rules as a citizen of that country?

I think Spain could do non-EU non-residents or all non-residents but if they did all non-residents then non-resident Spanish wouldn't be able to buy property either.

In any case I'm not sure if railing against Sanchez because the UK voted itself out the club is entirely appropriate.

It’s a publicity stunt. If you can’t stop the Dutch because you’re in the club then maybe being out of the club is a better option. Brits haven’t been buying in Spain like they used to anyway .Western Europe including the UK is on a downward spiral. Plenty of better options on the planet.

The people causing the price of rentals to skyrocket in Spain are EU nationals. Trying to imply it’s British is actually dumb.

Who did that?

There are more countries outside the EU apart from Britain. The Spanish government is not drawing up policy thinking first and foremost about the UK or Britons.

I Totally agree with your last point.
Re purchase of property by EU citizens in the EU this link shows they must be treated no differently to citizens of EU country they wish to purchase in be it for permanent or holiday home.

The Dutch mainly. Then followed by the Germans and Swiss. Sanchez will know this. It’s common knowledge in places like Ibiza where the housing crisis is really bad.

You misunderstand my question. Let me try again.
