I would appreciate and very much like to know what the woman and man on the street thinks to the just updated residency requirements in relation to my situation if possible? (any comments welcome of course)
I did plan on taking a year out you could call it! Study Spanish hard so I give it my almost full attention. Setup a business in a year or so part time!! Although part time self employed in Spain looks problematic to me I'll leave that aside for the minute.

So looking at these recent changes where do I stand if I go ahead and buy a property which was my intention before these changes were announced.
I know the wise thing to do is rent and wait for property prices to drop, but I think I've found something I really like so if I can get a big-ish discount I might go for it and against what most would advise here on that perhaps!

Reading quickly through the changes this morning it seems a bit woolly IMO. That might not be a bad thing in some situations!

So I'll not be working for year 1 and possibly 18 months.
I'll either have my UK house sale cash in the bank and renting.
Or have assets in the form of a house in Spain and of course less cash in the bank!

Would I be welcomed with open arms by the rubber stamping brigade , or after going through all the hassle of selling up and moving to Spain only then to be told, sorry assets are not big enough or bank balance isn't fat enough?
