I'm currently in the process of buying a property in Spain and as a UK resident I had to complete an ACRO check. Since we have left the EU and the area I am buying is of military significance I also have to apply for a military permit. One of the consequences of Brexit unfortunately.

Yes, depending on  where you buy a property. Living quite close to a military zone (Cartagena)  the area extends to north of Torrevieja  as a British (third country) citizen you would have to complete military checks, not only increasing the completion time of your purchase between 4 - 6 months, it’s also quite an expensive process.

I never knew that. That will put a lot off buying, where will it all end. Lots of empty property I suspect. Making many areas look very unappealing to any potential buyers. Are you saying these checks are for any third country nationals now including the UK.

Yes, now applicable to the U.K. since Brexit
