Brexit spells UK end to Spanish holiday home dreams

Londoner Joanne Connor may sell her holiday home in southern Spain as a falling currency drives up the cost in pounds of her household bills and mortgage payments following the UK’s decision to leave the EU.

“The cost of living in Spain has shot up for us overnight,” the 39-year-old mother of two from London said.

“If the pound stays this low or continues to drop we will end up having to sell.”
