Articles like this are so disingenuous. UK news has been reporting things like this for several years now, always trying to make it sound like it’s us mean old continental Europeans who are forcing our evil rules on the poor blameless Britons. As opposed to being the exact thing they themselves voted for. Hello and fuck you from sunny Portugal, dear Brexit voters!
On this specific issue, I doubt there is much overlap between those that voted to leave and those that own properties outside of England (either vacation homes or just not living in the country).
You'd be surprised. There were TV interviews back in the day where Brits living in Spain admitted to voting Brexit as it would be a better direction for the UK. Even though they had emigration.
When asked they had assumed there would be no change for them personally. The old "have their cake and eat it" line.
