10 Myth Busters | The Truth Behind Expat Finances in Spain with Chase Buchanan

Moving to Spain is an exciting step, but it can also be surrounded by assumptions, half-truths and well-meaning advice that may not apply to your personal situation.

In this interview, John Dike, an experienced and qualified Chase Buchanan adviser based locally in Spain, explores some of the most common financial myths affecting UK nationals who are planning a move to Spain or already living there. Working with British expats across Spain, John understands the practical financial questions people face before, during and after relocation.

The conversation covers key areas including ISAs, pensions, UK property, Spanish tax residency, wills, wealth tax and long-term financial planning. The message is clear: what worked in the UK may not work in Spain, and what is right for one person may not be right for another. Timing, residency, assets, family circumstances and future plans can all change the answer.
