Buying in Catalonia
Catalonia runs from Barcelona, Spain’s most international property market, up the pine-backed coves of the Costa Brava and into the Pyrenees of Lleida, with the Costa Daurada and Priorat wine hills to the south.
Catalonia is a mature, internationally traded property market, and Spanish banks are well accustomed to lending to overseas buyers here. For apartments, coastal houses or investment properties, non-resident financing of up to 60–70% of the property value is typically available.
Wherever in the world you're based, our team compares terms across 15+ Spanish lenders, negotiates on your behalf, arranges your property valuation, and stays with you and the bank right through to completion.

Resale homes in Catalonia carry a regional property transfer tax (ITP) of around 10% of the purchase price. New-build homes pay 10% VAT plus stamp duty instead. Treat this as a general guide: the exact rate depends on the price, your circumstances and current regional rules. We confirm the precise figure for your purchase.
