Why work with us ?
Your Biggest Advantages - Save Money, Buy Safely,
Buying property in Catalonia can be complex—especially for international buyers navigating a different language, legal framework, and market culture. While estate agents in Spain traditionally represent the seller, a Buyer’s Agent works exclusively for you, ensuring your interests are protected at every stage of the purchase. Our role is to reduce risk, save you time, and help you buy the right property at the right value, with full transparency and legal security.
​
What a Buyer’s Agent Does for You
A Buyer’s Agent represents only the buyer, never the seller. This independence allows us to provide objective advice and make decisions based solely on your goals, budget, and long-term interests. We manage the entire purchase process, including:
-
Defining your criteria and target areas in Catalonia
-
Screening and filtering properties before any viewing
-
Conducting detailed pre-purchase checks
-
Providing accurate market analysis
-
Negotiating price and special conditions
-
Coordinating legal due diligence and contract review
-
Guiding you through to a safe and secure completion
​​
Avoiding Common Pitfalls for Foreign Buyers
-
Foreign buyers in Catalonia often face challenges such as:
-
Overpriced properties marketed to international buyers
-
Incomplete or misleading information
-
Legal or urbanistic issues not disclosed upfront
-
Unexpected community costs or restrictions
-
Contracts that favour the seller
As Buyer’s Agents, we help you avoid these pitfalls before they become costly mistakes. By verifying key details early and filtering out risky properties, we ensure you only spend time on homes that are genuinely suitable.
​​
Pre-Viewing Checks That Save You Time and Money
Before arranging any viewing, we carry out essential checks to determine whether a property is worth considering. This includes reviewing documentation, understanding the building and community situation, and identifying potential legal or financial risks an dwhere houses are concerned checking building permits and registration. This proactive approach means:
-
No wasted trips
-
No emotional attachment to unsuitable properties
-
No surprises later in the process
-
You focus only on properties that make sense from the start.
​
Information Buyers Cannot Easily Access
One of the key advantages of working with a Buyer’s Agent is access to critical information that buyers cannot easily obtain on their own.
We know how to interpret and filter complex data, identify inconsistencies, and uncover factors that directly affect value and risk. This insight not only protects you—it also provides strong leverage during negotiation. Below are some real examples!
​
Real Examples of Why a Buyer’s Agent Matters
-
Avoiding Squatter Risks in Barcelona
A client was interested in an apartment in Barcelona. During viewings with the agent, the apartment looked wonderful however tehre were inconsistencies in the building's condition which raised concerns: missing door handles on one floor and signs of previous break-ins on the terrace. The agent initially downplayed the issue, claiming extra security meaning a safer block of apartments. After insisting on checking the documentation, we verified that squatters were still in the building —posing a risk for our client. Thanks to our diligence, the client avoided a potentially stressful situation.
​
-
Legal Compliance for Property Use
Another client loved an apartment with sea views listed at below market price. Our checks revealed it was registered as an office, not a residential property, making it illegal to rent. The agent insisted it was fine, but we advised our client accordingly, preventing a legal problem and a risky situation.

-
Complex Registration Issues for a Masia
A buyer wanted a rural “masia” (country home). Closer inspection showed that only half of the property’s registration was complete. Completing the remaining registration would have required 30–40k€ and several years of work. Our guidance helped the client understand the true cost and timeline before committing.
​​
-
Structural Work Negotiation
We noticed structural issues in a property during the visit. We requested the technical inspection documentation of the building. After reviewing this we noticed a 48k charge for repairs which the seller refused to pay, and insisted the buyer pays. Legally incorrect. This saved our client huge expenses, and a potentially very costly situation.
​​
-
Leveraging Information for Stronger Negotiation
In another negotiation, we identified key information from the property’s registry documents. Leveraging this, we secured a reduction of 30k€ and included the furniture in the purchase—maximising value for our client. The agent was pushing for asking price with a possibility of including the furniture.
​​
Negotiation That Works in Your Favour
Negotiation in Catalonia requires local knowledge, timing, and credible justification. We negotiate on your behalf using:
-
Verified market data

Property-specific findings
