"Under EU regulations, Spanish lenders can pursue outstanding mortgage-related debts against assets in the UK,” says Susana de las Cuevas, a dual-qualified Spanish and British solicitor with Irwin Mitchell in London.
“Ignorance is no defence, so you can’t argue you didn’t know you would be liable in the UK.”
