Buying property in the Canary Islands
after Brexit.
Buying property in the Canary Islands after Brexit draws British buyers who want mild weather all year. You buy as a non-EU national, much as you would on the mainland.

How the islands differ
Tenerife's south and west coasts attract many buyers, while its north is greener and more traditional. Gran Canaria pairs a lively capital with quiet inland villages, and Lanzarote is known for low white houses set against volcanic land.
The islands have their own indirect tax regime, so a new home is taxed differently from one on the mainland. Ask your lawyer and tax adviser to confirm what applies, alongside the usual checks on title, licences and the land registry.

Is the climate the same on every Canary Island?
No. The eastern islands are drier and sunnier, while Tenerife's north, La Palma and La Gomera are greener. Even on the same island, a short drive can change the weather.
