The seller & Agencies

    Buying in Barcleona was intimidating due to the high prices, but thanks to Homter we managed to negotiate the initial price down. Furthermore, they got me a very high financing percentage that my own bank had denied me because I am self-employed. I’m really greatful by how they handle the entire operation.

How we help you buy in Barcelona, step by step

You choose the neighborhood you want to live in. We handle the rest.

With the exact address, we evaluate if the apartment is priced at fair market value, protecting you from overpaying. Your specialist broker will contact the agency to visit the property, detect possible structural defects, and refine its value before you make an offer.

Our legal team verifies the Registry, Cadastre, and community debts. Crucially, we audit mandatory documents specific to Catalonia, such as a valid Cédula de Habitabilidad (Certificate of occupancy) and the ITE (Technical building inspection) certificate, ensuring you don’t inherit hidden debts.

We draft or review the “Arras” (deposit) contract, always including mortgage protection clauses (condition cuspensive). If the Spanish bank denies your mortgage, you won’t lose your 10% deposit. We also negotiate deadlines (factoring in NIE delays), down payments, and the final purchase price.

FAQs for Buying and getting a mortgage in Barcelona as an Expat

Why hire a mortgage broker in Barcelona instead of going to my home bank or a local branch?

Because your bank will always offer you their mortgage, not the one that suits you best. At Homter, we go directly to the central channels of Spanish banks—not the street-level branches—to make the entire market compete and get you the best national financial conditions. The great advantage is that we combine this massive financial power with our deep local real estate knowledge: we evaluate if the apartment in your Barcelona neighborhood is priced correctly, audit it technically, and negotiate the purchase for you.

How much do you charge for your mortgage broker services in Barcelona?

Our mortgage broker service in Barcelona is transparent and 100% success-based. The initial consultation, case assessment, and mortgage simulation are completely free. We only charge our fees if you successfully buy the property and sign the mortgage with us.

Can an expat get a 90% or 100% mortgage in Barcelona?

Yes. Although Spanish banks typically ask non-residents or expats for a 30% down payment (plus 10% for taxes), our mortgage department can secure much better terms. If you are a resident, have a solid financial profile, or are under 35, we can negotiate financing above 80% LTV (Loan-to-Value).

What is the difference between a free online broker and Homter’s local service?

A free mortgage broker usually recommends the banks that pay them the highest commission, making you the product. At Homter, as your local experts in Barcelona, we don’t just look for money: we audit the house and protect your interests from start to finish, getting fully involved both technically and legally in your purchase.

As local experts, what specific Catalan documents do you check?

Our legal team verifies mandatory documents specific to Catalonia before you sign anything. This includes confirming that the property has a valid Cédula de Habitabilidad (Certificate of Occupancy) and auditing the ITE (Technical Building Inspection) certificate to ensure you don’t inherit structural problems or upcoming community debts (derramas).

Does your service include negotiating the property price for expats?

Yes, but always strategically and based on objective data. In a high-demand market like Barcelona, where good opportunities disappear in days, making an aggressive low-ball offer usually means losing the house. As your broker and local agent, we first analyze the real value of the area to avoid an overpaid purchase. If the price is inflated or our technical visit detects defects, we will use that information to negotiate a justified reduction. However, if the house is worth the asking price, our priority will be to protect the deal and close it quickly so you don’t lose it.

What happens to my “arras” (deposit) if the spanish bank denies my mortgage?

Your money is protected. As your mortgage broker, we make sure to draft or review the Arras contract, always including mortgage protection clauses (Condition Suspensive). If the bank denies the operation or the official valuation comes in low, you will not lose your savings.

Do you work only in the city center or also as a broker in the wider Barcelona area?

e offer our mortgage broker and buyer’s agent services both in the city of Barcelona and throughout its metropolitan area (Sant Cugat, L’Hospitalet, Badalona, Castelldefels, Sitges, etc.). We know the real prices of the different districts and towns to help you buy safely anywhere in the province.

Are you an officially registered broker in Spain?

Absolutely. Homter is registered with the Bank of Spain’s State Register of Financial Intermediaries (Nº D059). Furthermore, we are registered in the Register of Real Estate Agents of the Generalitat de Catalunya (AICAT nº 8187), which guarantees maximum legal security for your operation.

I have foreign income (or I’m under the Beckham Law). Is it harder to get a mortgage in Barcelona?

Traditional bank branches are usually very restrictive with complex profiles, foreign income, or Digital Nomads. However, our mortgage brokers specialize in solving these cases. We act as your “financial translators”: we validate your financial profile, and we know exactly which banking entities to approach and how to present your file to secure approval.

Stop buying alone. Start with an edge.

Don’t leave your biggest investment to chance. You have a local expert ready to find, negotiate, and finance your future home.
