Buying in Spain · Melilla

Buying property in Melilla
after Brexit, on another shore.

Buying property in Melilla after Brexit is an unusual choice. This Spanish city faces the Mediterranean from the coast of North Africa, with a character unlike anywhere on the mainland.

The top of the market here is small and discreet. That suits buyers who value privacy, but it asks for patience and a lawyer who knows the city well.

Homes in Melilla

The fortified old quarter, Melilla la Vieja, rises above the harbour. Beyond its walls, the centre holds one of Spain's richest collections of modernist architecture, and some of the city's most characterful apartments sit behind those facades.

Melilla stands outside some of the tax and customs arrangements that apply on the mainland. British buyers, who now purchase as non-EU nationals, should have a specialist explain what applies before signing.

Ferries and flights link the city with Andalusia, and Ceuta, Spain's other North African city, has its own guide. Search the whole of Spain by location, type and budget, and tell us what draws you here.
