Buying property in Catalonia
after Brexit.

Catalonia runs from the Pyrenees down to the Mediterranean, across the provinces of Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona. City apartments, coastal villas and mountain homes each bring their own questions.

How a purchase in Catalonia comes together

The steps follow the Spanish pattern. You obtain an NIE number, appoint an independent lawyer, carry out due diligence on title, debts and planning status, then sign before a notary and register the home at the land registry.

Catalonia sets some of its own purchase taxes and planning rules, and official papers may be drafted in Catalan as well as Spanish, so ask for translations where you need them. These rules change, and a specialist should confirm them for your case.

Without residency, your stays fall under Schengen short-stay limits. Many buyers group their viewings into a few well-planned visits and grant a power of attorney, so the signing can go ahead while they are back home. Use the search to set location, property type, floor area and budget, and tell us what you are looking for.
