Buying property in Vizcaya,
between the estuary and the cliffs.
Buying property in Vizcaya after Brexit centres on Bilbao and its estuary, the most urban corner of the Basque Country. The province, Bizkaia in Basque, also holds a rugged stretch of the Biscay coast.

Homes from Bilbao to Urdaibai
In Bilbao, the classic addresses are Abando and Indautxu, with their broad streets, and the riverside near the Guggenheim. Downstream, Getxo, with Neguri and Las Arenas, gathers grand family houses near the mouth of the estuary.
Further along the coast, past Bakio and San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, the Urdaibai biosphere reserve surrounds the estuary at Mundaka. Much of the land here is protected and building rules can be strict, so check planning status closely before you fall for a view.
Since Brexit, British buyers follow the same steps as any buyer from outside the European Union, and Vizcaya applies its own provincial tax rules, which a specialist should confirm for you. Then search by area, property type and budget, and let us know what you have in mind.
