Brit expats and homeowners 'screwed over' by Brexit as retirement dreams dashed
EXCLUSIVE: Hard-working Brits who dreamed of a retirement dividing their lives between the UK and Europe say their plans are in ruins - with one pensioner forced to move home after 20 years in Spain
..In a further twist, one of the conditions that had to be met to gain residency was an income of £21,000 a year - ruling out thousands of UK pensioners living in Spain.
While many Brits who were able to sort out residency before the rule-change will be able to continue living the sun-soaked continental dream - others like those who own property or live on boats are seeing theirs dashed.
The Mirror spoke to two Brits, and an EU citizen married to one, who say Brexit has left their retirement plans in tatters.
The fuming 72-year-old pensioner, who asked to be anonymous, said despite living in Spain with his Russian partner and their children for two decades they face being separated under the country's new rules.
