Yes, Brits and other foreign nationals can purchase property anywhere in Catalonia without restrictions. The Spanish government, which favours foreign investment through special programs such as the Golden Visa, ensures ease in the acquisition process for expatriates.

The great culture, food, and extremely friendly atmosphere make foreigners prefer Catalonia to other parts of Spain. Logistically, the process is quite accessible, but there are still several aspects to address:

• You can only get a mortgage without a Spanish bank account if you pay large deposits.
• Local lenders provide a considerable loan volume to foreign buyers, although non-resident financing may be more limited.
• Employing a local lawyer is essential to navigate Spanish property law, review contracts, and ensure the purchase process is smooth.

Luckily, the Catalonia property market has options ranging from modern apartments in Barcelona to villas in the countryside of Girona. For Brits looking to relocate there or to invest in the area, the process can be pretty smooth, especially when one uses well-settled local agents.
