Which areas in Catalonia offer the best investment potential?

Barcelona remains the top choice for long-term value and rental demand, while Costa Brava towns such as Begur, Llafranc and S’Agaró offer high appreciation and lifestyle appeal. The Maresme coast, just north of Barcelona, attracts families and investors seeking space, sea views, and strong resale value. 

Are new-build apartments in Catalonia a good investment?

Yes. New developments in Catalonia feature modern design, energy efficiency and developer warranties. They require less maintenance and often appreciate well over time. GG Real Estate reviews building licences, developers and quality before you buy. 

What are the property taxes when buying an apartment in Catalonia?

For new-build apartments, VAT (IVA) is 10%. For resale flats, the Property Transfer Tax (ITP) is also around 10%. Buyers should budget an additional 2–3% for notary, registration and legal fees. 

Do apartments in Catalonia come with tourist rental licences?

In certain municipalities — especially in Costa Brava and Maresme — tourist licences are available, but subject to local restrictions. Our legal team provides updated advice and helps buyers identify licensed or licence-eligible apartments. 

What are the advantages of buying a resale flat versus a new-build?

Resale flats often offer better locations in established city districts and can be renovated to taste. New-build apartments provide modern layouts, terraces, parking and communal facilities such as pools or gyms. GG Real Estate helps buyers compare both options. 

Can I buy an apartment in Catalonia remotely?

Yes. Many of our international clients purchase remotely through power of attorney. GG Real Estate coordinates every step — from virtual viewings and due diligence to signing at the notary — ensuring a secure and effortless experience. 

What are the typical rental returns for flats and apartments in Catalonia?

Rental yields vary from 3.5% to 6% annually, depending on the area and property type. Barcelona city flats achieve the most consistent occupancy, while coastal apartments offer strong seasonal rental income during summer months.
