Frequently Asked Questions

If you didn't find the answer to your question, write to us on any social network and we will gladly respond to you.

Can foreigners buy property in Spain without residency?

Yes — non-residents can purchase freely. You’ll need an NIE number and a Spanish bank account to complete the transaction and pay taxes. We arrange both as part of onboarding.

What are total buying costs in Barcelona/Costa Brava?

Budget ~10–13% on top of the price: resale ITP ~10%, new-build VAT (IVA) 10% + stamp duty (AJD) ~1–1.5%, plus notary/registry/legals ~1–2%. We provide a personalised cost breakdown per property before offer.

How long does the purchase take and can I complete remotely?

Typically 4–8 weeks from offer to notary completion; remote completion via power of attorney is common for overseas buyers. We coordinate notarisation and PoA logistics end-to-end.

Can I get a non-resident mortgage and on what terms?

Mainstream lenders offer ~60–70% LTV to non-residents subject to income, credit and valuation. We pre-screen affordability, prepare bank packs and compare offers across lenders.

Are short-term rentals allowed in Barcelona and along the coast?

Rules are local and often restricted (especially Barcelona city). We check licence status per address and advise compliant options (mid-term/long-term or licensed coastal zones).

New-build vs resale — which is better for me?

New-build/off-plan brings modern specs, energy efficiency and warranties; resale often wins on A-locations and immediate use. We model total cost of ownership and yield scenarios for both.

What areas suit families vs second-home buyers?

Families: Barcelona (Pedralbes) for top schools and quiet streets; Sant Cugat del Valles for houses, green space and international schools; Gava Mar (and nearby Castelldefels) for beach living close to the city; plus Maresme (Alella, Cabrils, Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, Teia) for larger family homes with gardens. Ask for school catchment and commute mapping with your shortlist.

Second-home buyers: Costa Brava coves (Begur, Tamariu, Llafranc, Calella de Palafrugell, Aiguablava, S’Agaró) for privacy and sea views; Sitges (Garraf) for a lively seaside vibe near Barcelona; Costa Dorada for wide sandy beaches and an easygoing pace. We prioritise sea view, walkability and rental potential per brief.

How do you verify legal/technical safety before I commit?

We run full due diligence: title & encumbrances, planning/zoning, community statutes, habitability certificates, building/technical reports, tax checks and contract review. A red-flag report is issued before deposit; we negotiate remedies or walk-away clauses if needed.
