Another advantage is that Capital Gains Tax is halved, should you want to return to the UK.

Does the limited company own your assets in Spain then, including your property? Presumably if you make a profit on your home in Spain then, you have to pay tax on it in the UK . Who would the directors of the limited company be, bearing in mind the "owners" would not be UK residents.
