Yeah, so there seems to be no point in me rushing because UK/EU laws are up in the air and I don't want to make a rushed decision with something so big.
I've got UK and AUD passports to use and potentially I'll be the spouse of an EU citizen so maybe that will help?
It seemed so simple in my head - working from Spain is the same as working from my garden - literally nothing should change. Of course the government ruins that simplicity.

I know someone who is doing it. He flies out to Valencia in a fortnight. His company are going to pay the air fare for him to visit the office in London once a month.
I used to work with a chap that did 2 months in South Africa, 1 month in Finchley.
I never asked any of them what the tax rules are.

And you can do this and not tell anyone. It just leaves you open to a lot of head aches in the future if anything more complicated than sitting in your garden comes up.
If you do become the spouse of an EU citizen, however, it would, potentially, be much easier (if you don't get residency as a UK citizen before). I presume that they can get residency in Spain via EU rights, which you should then be able to piggy back on to. I got my residency in Finland via UK/EU. My partner got hers via me and her Canadian passport (which I assume is more or less equal to Aus internationally).

This alone should be sufficient.

You can also get an A1 certificate which lets you live elsewhere but maintain residency for tax purposes. No fucking clue what's going to happen with these post Brexit.
