Buyer FAQ
Buying Property in Barcelona
Can foreigners buy property?
Yes. There are no restrictions, but you will need an NIE to complete the purchase.
What are the total costs?
Budget around 12–13% on top of the purchase price for taxes and costs, plus our 3% buyer fee if not covered by the seller.
Why use a buyer’s agent?
The seller’s agent works for the seller. We work for you — filtering risks, checking value, and protecting your position.
Do I need to be a resident?
No. Many international buyers purchase in Barcelona as non-residents.
What is an NIE?
It is your Spanish tax ID, required for contracts, taxes, banking, and completion.
How do you help?
We shortlist properties, flag problems early, coordinate viewings, and guide you from search to signing.
Start with the path that best matches your stage: neighborhood research, buying strategy, schools and family planning, retirement and second homes, or investment.
