Thoroughly recommended. If you are feeling a little disconcerted at the thought of buying your first property around Barcelona, it’s great having someone ‘on your side’ who has seen and done it many times before to advise, accompany, translate and represent you, from the initial viewing all the way through to completing the purchase. Thanks for all your help Mark.

When we started off the process of buying a house in Barcelona, we considered doing it on our own. We soon found out that this could be pretty risky. Minor mistakes can literally cost you thousands!After buying our dream house, we realised we couldn't have done it without Spain Advisors. We found Mark by accident through a facebook event. I decided to pay him a visit in his office to find out more about the process. I was immediately convinced we needed to work with him! Mark helped us avoid a lot of pitfalls - hidden maintenance costs, ownership problems, inflated asking prices and more. His fee is a very small fraction of the money he saved us, by negotiating the price, being meticulous in reviewing contracts, and recommending us his trustworthy contacts (mortgage broker, notaria etc). Mark brings a wealth of experience, and has an incredible work ethic, making sure you're kept up to date at all times. We don't speak much Spanish, so having him explain every single detail was a great help. It was a great pleasure meeting him and working with him.We'd definitely recommend Spain Advisors if you're considering buying a house in Barcelona. Do yourself a favour and contact Mark even before considering purchasing a house.

We offer the very highest recommendation for Mark Carr and Spain Advisors. We purchased a lovely apartment in Tarragona, and would have never accomplished it without Mark's guidance and actions via power of attorney. Obtaining a mortgage was difficult as the Spanish laws changed in 2019 right after we signed the contract, so we had to negotiate with four banks to get a loan (Mark works closely with Bozena Brunowska at Mortgage Direct). It took much longer than anticipated, and Mark served as the go-between with the seller who, like us, had hoped to close sooner. Mark's knowledge of Spanish real estate law and navigating the system was indispensable. We have already recommended him to two friends who are considering a move to Spain. When we came to shop for properties, Mark met with us and lined up around a dozen places to see in two days. He was helpful in pointing out issues about the apartments, location, etc. that we may have overlooked. He is highly ethical, and went well above and beyond what was required to help us complete the purchase. His communications are clear, concise, and very quick. We never had any trust issues or felt that we weren't in the best hands. Mark is one of the nicest and most trustworthy people you could every meet.We absolutely love our place in Tarragona, and encourage anyone to take the plunge and establish a base in this lovely country. Mark can be your best asset to do so. Thank you!

A thousand stars!!! Spain advisors is amazing!!! I couldn’t have done it without them. I had hired two different lawyers that couldn’t get me the apartment before finding Mark. The property I was trying to purchase had a difficult owner and Mark came in and saved the deal. He even helped me negotiate a better price! He is very knowledgeable about the regulations, construction laws and what to watch out for. He has a network of expert professionals he works with. Mark walked me through every step, making sure all my paperwork was in order and that the proper protections were in place. He found me a mortgage broker that got me financed, a Spanish tax attorney to help me understand all my taxes and stayed with me through all of it. I can’t recommend him enough. If you are considering buying property in Barcelona you need Mark!! I love my new apartment and I’m so glad I moved here from Los Angeles. Thank you for helping me live my dream!!

I met Mark from Spain Advisors by chance at a real estate event, at the time was looking for a flat to buy and he helped me, first providing his valuable opinion in regards to some properties we saw, and later guiding the purchase process which went very smoothly. I went with Spain Advisors because of their attention to legal detail, thoroughness through the purchasing process and Mark's punctuality. Thanks again! Rafael.

Spain Advisors were excellent. I could not recommend the company more. I was guided through every step, had every question answered and had the whole process explained clearly and carefully to me. It was reassuring to have a company with so much experience helping me. This was my first purchase in Spain coming from the UK and Spain Advisors knew how to reassure me.

Common Questions

Who pays the real estate agent?

The seller of the property. Normally it's a commission on the sale, although some agents charge a flat fee up front.

Why should I hire a Buyer’s Agent?

For independent advice and guidance throughout the process. The real estate agent works for the seller.

How do I know if the price I see online is fair?

There is no standard or ‘market’ value for property in or near Barcelona. The propertys are too distinct.

Is summer 2019, a good time to buy in Barcelona?

As good a time as any. Property in Barcelona has been increasing for several years because of high demand, surging rents, and low-interest mortgages.
