Real Estate Lawyer in the Eixample (Barcelona)

Legal advice to buy, sell or rent in the Eixample: modernista buildings, complex communities and one of the most sought-after markets in Barcelona.

The Eixample —with its Dreta and Esquerra, the Quadrat d'Or and its iconic modernista buildings on the Cerdà grid— is one of the most expensive and competitive property markets in Barcelona. Buying here requires a careful review of the building's situation: listed or protected buildings, refurbishment levies, community bylaws and possibly restricted tourist uses.

What we review in an Eixample purchase

  • Charges, Land Registry extract and the state of the building and community (building inspection, approved levies).
  • Heritage protection of the building and urban planning limitations.
  • Earnest money contract and taxes (Transfer Tax on second-hand).

We work both for the local buyer and for the international investor looking for a prime residence or investment in central Barcelona.

We offer all our real estate law services in the Eixample and across Barcelona: conveyancing, taxes, inheritance, earnest money, due diligence and leases.

Frequently asked questions

We answer your questions


Many Eixample buildings are listed or have communities with significant levies. A lawyer reviews the building, the charges and the limitations before you sign the earnest money contract.

They check the legal and land-registry status of the property (nota simple, charges and community debts), negotiate and draft the earnest money (arras) contract and the deed, review the taxes on the transaction and guide you through to signing before the notary, protecting your interests in the Eixample.

Conveyancing fees are typically between 1% and 1.5% of the price, or a fixed fee depending on the complexity of the case. We give you a closed quote after reviewing your transaction, with no obligation.

Yes. We work in English and Spanish and have experience with non-resident buyers and investors: NIE, bank account, mortgage for non-residents and signing by power of attorney. See our guide to buying as a foreigner.

From the deposit or arras to the deed it usually takes 4 to 8 weeks, depending on financing and paperwork. With a well-drafted arras contract and due diligence done, the process is fast and secure.
