Buying property in Alicante
after Brexit.
Buying property in Alicante after Brexit is still open to British buyers. What changed is that you now buy from outside the EU, and a few rules apply differently.
Search propertiesThe province runs the length of the Costa Blanca, from Dénia and Jávea in the north to Torrevieja in the south. Altea, Moraira and the hills behind them have welcomed British families for generations.
What to check before you sign in Alicante
The purchase follows a familiar path: an NIE number, an independent lawyer, the deed signed before a notary and the entry in the land registry. Since Brexit, time spent here without residency is limited by Schengen rules, and some taxes treat non-EU owners differently.
On the coast, ask your lawyer to confirm full planning approval and whether coastal protection rules touch the plot. In the hills, look closely at access, water and the legal status of the land. Castellón and Valencia, the region's other provinces, share the same regional framework.
Rules change, so have a specialist confirm each point. When you are ready, search by town, type of home and budget, or tell us what you are looking for.

Questions,
answered.
Does owning a home in Alicante let British buyers stay longer?
No. Owning property grants neither residency nor citizenship, and Spain has ended its property-linked investor visa. Longer stays depend on a separate residency route, which a specialist can explain.
