How we help you with buying and selling property in Barcelona
Preliminary Phase
From the very beginning, we analyze everything necessary to ensure the transaction is secure:
- Legal analysis of the property: encumbrances, easements, liens, mortgages, and registry status.
- Cost study: calculation of taxes (ITP, AJD, municipal capital gains…), notary and registration fees.
- Review and request of documentation: property deed, energy efficiency certificate, community statutes, building inspection (ITE), etc.
- Drafting and review of the reservation contract, whether you are the buyer or the seller.
Signing and Post-Signing Phase
If the transaction does not involve a mortgage, we handle the entire process:
- Full notary management: coordination, review of the draft deed, and final checks.
- Assistance at the signing on the scheduled day.
- Payment of taxes related to the property sale.
- Registration in the Property Registry.

By bank protocol, the notary and post-signing procedures are managed by the bank.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to buy a property in Barcelona beyond the purchase price?
It depends on the type of property and whether it is new or second-hand. The buyer usually covers ITP or AJD, notary fees, registration, and, if there is a mortgage, appraisal and management fees. We calculate the exact total cost from the very beginning.
What do you review in the legal analysis of the property?
Encumbrances, easements, liens, mortgages, registry ownership, and mandatory documentation. We identify any risks before moving forward.
Can I buy or sell without advisory services?
Yes, but it is not recommended. A property transaction involves documents, tax calculations, and legal risks that are not always visible to individuals. Our support helps you avoid issues that could arise years later.
What documents do I need to sell?
Property deed, energy certificate, property tax (IBI), community certificate, land registry note… We help you prepare everything before the signing.
How does the municipal capital gains tax work if I sell my property?
It is a municipal tax that depends on how long you have owned the property and the cadastral value of the land. We help you calculate it and handle the payment so you don’t have to worry about deadlines or errors.
Do you only operate in Barcelona city?
No. We specialize in Barcelona and the entire metropolitan area and surrounding towns: L’Hospitalet, Badalona, Sant Cugat, Terrassa, Sabadell, Mataró, Granollers, Sitges, Castelldefels, Viladecans, Sant Boi…
