I received these updates today from my solicitor dealing with our house purchase today, has anyone heard of these changes happening? 

Over the last few weeks things have changes

 in Spain. Any money coming from a GB IBAN number, will have 1% deducted on it´s arrival in Spain. This is due to the UK being out of the EU. So please make sure your currency company do not use a GB IBAN to send money
