Thanks for the reply.
I get the NRT as that's a non-resident illegal tax which is going through the EU court process. So like you, I have continued to pay this now at the higher rate.
I believe it might be a different case with the selling of a house in Spain, as the law will be well established.
So I am hoping a solicitor/legal expert or someone who has gone through the process with the same situation as myself might be able to let me know if I can reduce the CGT as I laid out as it makes quite a difference.
If I am the sole EU citizen on the deeds, I believe that I can not be discriminated against compared to any Spanish seller it is against EU law. As you point out, I really need confirmation, worse case scenario is I will have to pay for legal advice. Just thought that many people must have gone through the same selling process since Brexit changed the rules.

Does deed name change need to be made on selling?
