Would it be practical to live in Spain and commute weekly to the UK?
Just be careful as airlines don't always fly to all destinations throught the whole year and they can often chop and change schedules at short notice which could caus you problems if you have just brought somewhere and they suddenly stop flying there.
EasyJet flies a scheduled service from Malaga to most of the major UK airports all year round.
I've worked with 2 chaps in recent years who commuted from far away lands... One from west Ireland and one from Tenerife! They would typically come in on a Monday afternoon and leave Thursday afternoon, WFH Fridays and working longer hours Tues and Weds.
Seems practical so long as you have clients that are flexible about working hours (so they should be)
I've thought about it some more, and the best way to know what it is like is to try it.
So I'm going to rent a holiday villa close to Malaga for a month and try a commute and see how it pans out and at the weekends suss out the place.
Easyjet don't fly on Sundays (Malaga to Newcastle), and the Moday flight is at midday, and Rynaair (even cheaper) don't fly back on Sundays either, for e.g. to Leeds. Apart from that, the commute could easier and cheaper than in to London.

Oi DP!
A guy I used to work for now owns a charter company based at Leeds Bradford, give him a call, you are a contractor after all is said and done.
