Buying from the UK after Brexit

Since Brexit, UK citizens are non-EU buyers. You can buy property in Spain; what changed is how long you can stay. Without a visa, UK citizens can spend up to 90 days in any 180-day period in Spain and the rest of the Schengen area, and days in other Schengen countries count towards the same limit.

Owning a home does not give you the right to live here. Spain abolished its investor visa — the "golden visa" — on 3 April 2025, so buying property no longer leads to residency.

To live in Spain for longer than 90 days without working, the route is the non-lucrative residence visa. You apply in person at the Spanish consulate for your place of residence, and you must prove you have enough income or savings to support yourself. The visa does not allow you to work in Spain.

Taxes when you buy

Resale homes in the Valencian Community pay transfer tax (ITP) of 9% of the price, or 11% for properties over €1 million. New builds bought from the developer pay 10% VAT plus 1.4% stamp duty (AJD). These rates apply to deeds signed from 1 June 2026. Notary and land registry fees come on top.

Your NIE

Any foreigner with economic interests in Spain, including buying a home, needs an NIE — a foreigner identity number. You can apply for it at a Spanish consulate in the UK, or in Spain through a representative with a power of attorney.
