Ryan

Barcelona, Sep 2025

I’ve worked with Sergi for Spanish tax preparation for the past three years as an expat. We do everything virtually with video and WhatsApp, and he’s been flexible, attentive, and open and honest, always willing to jump on a call to go deeper on my questions. He understands my specific situation and the tax regime that applies to me, and he feels like a local expert on the nuances of Spanish tax law for expats. Price felt fair, he was always professional and on time, and I’ve already recommended him to a bunch of other people.

Maria

Sydney / Singapore, Jul 2026

I first hired Susana when I returned from Singapore to Spain, and she helped me with my applications for the tax benefit. She knows what she is doing. Since then, I have been using her for all my tax matters in Spain, and also when I bought a house, she helped me with that tax side too. I can trust her; she is always very helpful, replies very fast even with the time difference, and the price feels fair, not crazy expensive.

Barcelona, Aug 2026

They were very responsive and very quick, and they helped me file the tax return for me and my husband. It was fine, I was happy, and communication was excellent. They were a little bit pricey, but out of the quotes we received they were the more convenient ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

What expats want to know before hiring real estate lawyers in Barcelona.

Are there English-speaking real estate lawyers in Barcelona?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring real estate lawyers in Barcelona?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What does a property lawyer actually do when a foreigner buys in Barcelona?
Checks the title and the debts on the flat at the Registro de la Propiedad, reads the community minutes, drafts or reviews the arras (deposit) contract, gets your NIE and Spanish bank account in place, calculates the taxes and stands beside you at the notary. The lawyer works for you; the notary and the agent do not.
Which taxes and fees come with buying a home in Barcelona?
On a resale home the buyer pays transfer tax (ITP) at the Catalan rate, on a new build VAT plus stamp duty instead, then notary and land registry fees and the lawyer. As a rule of thumb the extras add roughly a tenth to the price, and the lawyer sets them out before you sign the arras. The price section above shows what the legal work itself costs.
Are these lawyers properly registered in Barcelona?
Yes. Practising lawyers must be registered, as colegiado with the local Colegio de Abogados in Spain. It is fine to ask, and a reputable firm will confirm it.
What should I avoid when hiring real estate lawyers in Barcelona?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later. And never use someone who cannot show the right certification.
How do you say real estate lawyers in Spanish?
In Spanish, real estate lawyers are usually called abogados inmobiliarios. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find real estate lawyers I can trust in Barcelona?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.
