Buying property in Barcelona
after Brexit, with a clear path.
Buying property in Barcelona after Brexit asks for a little more planning, not less ambition. British buyers can still purchase here, now as non-EU nationals with limited time on the ground.
Search propertiesThe province reaches well beyond the city: the Maresme coast to the north, Sitges and the Garraf to the south, and the wooded Collserola hills leading inland to the Vallès. Each setting asks its own questions of a buyer.
What to check in a Barcelona purchase
In the city, many fine homes sit in period buildings of the Eixample or on quieter streets in Pedralbes and Sant Gervasi. Your lawyer reviews the title, the building's shared costs and any works agreed by the owners' community, alongside the usual planning and debt searches.
Beyond the city, a villa on the Maresme or near Sitges calls for attention to licences, boundaries and access. The NIE number, the notary and the land registry work here as they do across Spain, and because the rules evolve, have a specialist confirm each detail.
Unless you hold Spanish residency, your time in the Schengen area is capped as a visitor. Filter the search by area, property type, floor area and budget, then tell us what you are looking for.

Can I buy in Barcelona without travelling for the signing?
Yes. With a notarised power of attorney, your lawyer can sign on your behalf. Documents granted in the UK usually need an apostille, and your lawyer will explain what is required.
