After coming to an agreement on a rental or purchase, both parties in Barcelona sign the contract. However, it is not a legal agreement until the appropriate seals of the city of Barcelona with a tax stamp has been purchased and affixed to ther agreement. You have to make sure before finalising the lease or purchase that the official seal of Barcelona will be affixed to the agreement.

Renting
Real estate agencies in Barcelona are the safest way if you want to rent or buy a property in Barcelona. Please make sure they are a licensed agent in Barcelona and very familiar with the Barcelona property market.

Local newspapers in Barcelona also advertise apartments and houses for rent, but word of mouth is the best way in Barcelona. If you are currently an academic in Barcelona, you could check local at local universities in Barcelona, where apartments or rooms for rent are commonly posted.

In general rental rates in Barcelona, increase by a small percentage each year in accordance with the government’s annual cost of living reports in Barcelona. You can find yearly leases in Barcelona, and more short-term housing is available near academic institutes or around tourism areas within Barcelona.

Short-term tourist housing in Barcelona is fully furnished and most of the time fully equipped. If you have the budget, you could rent a serviced apartment in Barcelona.

If you want to buy a property in Barcelona, I would highly suggest you to have the property checked out by yourself and hire a lawyer in Barcelona to check how much debts the property has currently registered and if those numbers matched with the seller of the property in Barcelona.

If you are buying a brand new property, you’ll need to pay property tax in Barcelona. If your purchase is a luxury property, you may have to pay local taxes in Barcelona and possible stamp duty.

Even as a non-resident homeowner in Barcelona, you may become liable for all kind of taxes in Barcelona, including income tax.

Barcelona Mortgages
If you plan to take a mortgage in Barcelona you need at least a 20% downpayment of the purchase price of the property with local banks in Barcelona. Even if you generate rental-income from renting your Barcelona property out, it is not considered by most banks in Barcelona as you may decide to move in, at a later time.

The Barcelona Real Estate calculator will help you to compare the costs of renting a house or condo in Barcelona to the costs of buying a house or condo in Barcelona. Since there are all kinds of forces at work behind the scenes such as the current interest in Barcelona, Barcelona property taxes, tax savings, appreciation in general to investments in Barcelona, comparing the cost of renting to the cost of buying in Barcelona is a lot more complicated than just comparing the monthly mortgage payment to the monthly rent payment.

The Barcelona Calculator attempts to forecast the net effects of all the hidden forces so you can make an informed decision before buying or renting a property in Barcelona.
