Editorial Policy

At Real Estate Lawyers Barcelona we publish practical guides on real estate, tax and planning law in Barcelona and Catalonia. This policy explains how we produce, review and maintain that content so it is rigorous, useful and reliable.

1. Who produces and reviews the content

Real Estate Lawyers Barcelona is a referral platform, not a law firm. The content is produced by our editorial team and reviewed by independent lawyers registered with a Spanish bar, specialists in real estate law, who are part of our network of collaborators. Legal advice on a specific case is always provided by those registered lawyers, not by the platform.

2. Sources

Our guides are based on official and primary sources, including:

• BOE (Official State Gazette) and current national legislation (Civil Code, Tenancy Act, Mortgage Act, tax rules).
• Generalitat de Catalunya and DOGC, and the Catalan Housing Agency (habitability certificate, stressed areas, protected housing, INCASÒL).
• Spanish Tax Agency and the Catalan Tax Agency (transfer tax, stamp duty, income tax, capital gains, inheritance).
• Guidance from professional bar associations (ICAB) and case law of the Supreme Court and the CJEU.

3. Updates

We review content periodically and whenever there are relevant regulatory changes. Each guide shows its last updated date. The last general review was carried out in October 2026.

4. Important notice

The information published is general and informational and does not constitute legal advice nor replace consulting a lawyer. Every property transaction has its particularities: for your specific case, request a consultation and we will connect you with the right specialist lawyer.

5. Corrections

If you spot an error or outdated information, email us at info@realestatelawyerbarcelona.es and we will review it.
