Buying property in Girona

Living in Girona

Girona is known for its colourful houses lining the Onyar, beneath the outline of the cathedral. The Barri Vell, with its old Jewish quarter and its walls that you can walk along, keeps a medieval character.

A lively university city, Girona is linked to Barcelona by high-speed train and is half an hour from the beaches of the Costa Brava.

Your contact speaks English, from the first call to the signing. We translate the documents and explain each step to you before you commit.

NIE, bank account, buyer's tax, document translation: our teams handle it for you, right up to signing at the notary's.

Our experts do the pre-viewings on site, on video with you. You only travel to sign, and we prepare a power of attorney if you cannot come.

Before any offer, we check the property: debts, charges, mortgages, planning, licences and community of owners. You know what you are buying.

The notary checks the formalities and the seller has their own lawyer. We bring in an independent lawyer who defends only your interests and checks the preliminary contract before you sign.

Search, viewings, negotiation, paperwork: we take care of it. You get a written report in English at each step and you keep control of the decisions.

Anything to add?

Frequently asked questions about property in Girona

Can a foreigner buy property in Girona?

Yes. Spain places no nationality restrictions on buying property. You do, however, need an NIE, the foreigner identification number, which is required to sign at the notary's and to open a Spanish bank account. We handle this step as part of our support.

Do you have an office near Girona?

Our nearest office is in Barcelona: Pg. de Gràcia, 61, 3º1ª, 08007 Barcelona. The Barcelona team handles projects in Girona. We meet you at the office or by video call, and organise viewings on site.

What is the average value of a home in Girona?

In the second quarter of 2026, the average appraised value of a free-market home in Girona was €2,316/m², according to Spain's Ministry of Housing, up 6.4% over one year. It is an average: prices vary a lot between neighbourhoods and types of property.

Do you need to be there in person to buy in Girona?

No. Many of our clients buy from abroad. Viewings can be done by video call with a written report, and signing at the notary's is possible with a power of attorney. On site, we check what photos do not show: the real condition, the immediate surroundings, any nuisances, compliance.

What costs should you budget for on top of the property price?

As a rule, allow 10 to 15% of the asking price. This covers transfer tax (ITP) for a resale property or VAT for a new build, notary fees, land registry registration and administrative costs. Our online buying costs calculator gives a detailed estimate by region and type of property.

How long does it take to buy a property in Girona?

From the first viewing to signing, it generally takes two to four months. The timing depends mainly on getting the NIE, any financing and the notary's availability. A cash purchase with a complete file can go faster.
