Gran Canaria combines a lively capital, beaches, varied landscapes and solid infrastructure for a long-term move.
An exceptional location
Gran Canaria enjoys an exceptional location, with easy access to well-known beaches, varied landscapes and a lively tourist scene. The mild, sunny climate means outdoor activities all year round, from water sports to mountain hiking. This setting appeals both to buyers looking for a main home and to those looking for a second home. The range of properties, from modern apartments and seafront villas to traditional houses in the villages, means you can find a home that suits your project while enjoying a very pleasant quality of life.
An island paradise to live in
Living in Gran Canaria means enjoying an atmosphere that supports well-being: mild winters, little rainfall and many sunny days encourage an outdoor lifestyle. The air quality is known to be good, which makes for a healthy environment for families and sensitive people. The cost of living remains attractive compared with other destinations, and the local regulatory framework offers favourable tax conditions. Together, these make the island especially pleasant for settling long term or spending long periods.

Maspalomas appeals with its dunes and beach-resort feel, Playa del Inglés attracts those looking for nightlife and entertainment, while Meloneras offers a more exclusive and refined seafront setting.

Perfect for a refined second home or for retirees who want peace and quiet, with access to local services and boat links for day trips.

Frequently asked questions about property in Gran Canaria
Can a foreign buyer purchase property in Gran Canaria?
+
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.
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.
Do you need to be there in person to buy in Gran Canaria?
+
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 checks do you carry out before an offer?
+
We check the property's legal status at the land registry, that there are no debts or unpaid charges, planning compliance, the state of the community of owners and whether the price is consistent with recent sales in the area. These checks take place before any offer, not after.
How long does it take to buy a property in Gran Canaria?
+
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.
