One option is to postpone your training until spring when your current school might've sorted out their aircraft tech problems and the weather should start improving (in theory). The other thing to consider is you might be ready for IRT just after Christmas, but in Jan/Feb in the UK you will probably end up cancelling multiple tests, then end up having to do multiple refresher flights which involve going over hours on the IR and lack of currency could potentially lead to an IR fail and not to mention lots of extra ££

If you are leaning towards Spain, your best making the decision asap because the IR hours your doing here might not necessarily be very useful for the Spanish IR profile, and you don't want to end up doing more hours than necessary. The less hours you do in the UK, the more buffer it gives you to get up to speed with checklists and procedures in Spain.

It does sounds like the school your at is poorly managed, but if your already very close to your IRT it's probably worth just grin and bearing it, staying where you are. I'm guessing it will be aggro swapping schools, and it probably will look better on paper and on school reports if you do all your training at one establishment. However if you've only done a couple of hours on the aircraft then its not going to be as much of a culture shock swapping schools. Ultimately the decision is down to your personal situation. All the best either way
