New homes are sold differently from second-hand flats: you often reserve from a plan, pay in stages and wait for the keys. That is why the first question about any new build Barcelona offers is not the view, but the paperwork behind the promise. This page covers the rules we would check and who sells new builds in the city.
Property developers in Barcelona
Property developers in Barcelona (promotoras) buy the land, commission the building and sell the homes, often through their own sales office. Our list mixes real developers with agencies that market new builds, and you should know which one you are talking to.
For example, CORP Promotors is a developer in Sant Gervasi - Galvany with 1,416 reviews at 4.6 stars, and describes itself as a leading developer in Spain. Oltac is a family-run developer and builder in Gràcia with 101 reviews at 4.8. CULMIA Port Montjuïc is a sales office for one scheme of 25 homes with two or three bedrooms, terraces and parking, according to its own description, and is closed on Mondays. The top-ranked business, Dinmo, is mainly a resale and rental agency, which shows why we read the Google categories as well as the stars.
On new-build homes you pay VAT and stamp duty on the deed. In short, you pay VAT and stamp duty instead of the transfer tax that applies to resale. Housing is taxed at the reduced 10 per cent VAT rate, and the Catalan tax agency lists 1.5 per cent stamp duty (AJD) for transfers subject to VAT.
We confirmed both on official sources: the 10 per cent rate is in article 91 of the VAT law, which also covers up to two garage spaces sold with the home, and the AJD rate is on the Agència Tributària de Catalunya page. The ATC page also says the taxable base is the highest of the reference value, the declared value or the agreed price.

These rates can change, so ask your lawyer to confirm them on the day you sign. We log the rates we confirmed so we can recheck them.
What happens to my money when I buy off-plan?
When you buy off-plan, the law requires the developer to protect your advance payments. Under the first additional provision of the building law, a developer collecting advance payments for housing must guarantee their refund plus legal interest from the date it obtains the building licence.
The guarantee is a surety insurance policy or a bank guarantee, and the advance payments must go into a special bank account kept separate from the developer's other funds. The guarantee covers the money you paid, including applicable taxes, plus legal interest. Read the rule on the BOE.
In practice we would ask for three things before paying a reservation: a copy of the building licence, the name of the insurer or bank guaranteeing your payments, and the bank account where the money goes. If any of them is missing, we would not pay. A mortgage broker can also tell you whether your bank will lend on a home that is not yet built.
What guarantees cover defects in a new-build home?
The building law sets three guarantees: one year for finishing defects, three years for defects that affect habitability, and ten years for structural defects. These come from article 19 of the Ley de Ordenación de la Edificación.
The ten-year cover, for foundations, columns, beams, slabs and load-bearing walls, is mandatory for buildings mainly used as housing. The exception is a self-builder of a single home for personal use. Ask for the policy, and keep a copy with your deed.
How do I snag a new-build flat before I accept the keys?
Snagging means inspecting the flat for defects before you sign the delivery, so the developer fixes them under the one-year finishing guarantee. Do it on the day you receive the keys, with a checklist and photos.
Our list: doors and windows, taps and drains, electrical sockets, tile alignment, paint, noise insulation, and the garage and storage rooms. Write every defect on the delivery document. A surveyor or architect will find more than you will. Then keep the list and send it to the developer by a traceable method, such as email with a read receipt or a registered letter, so you can prove when you reported each defect. If the developer disputes something, a dated report from a surveyor helps your lawyer. Do not move in or sign the delivery document with defects unlisted.
Where are new developments in Barcelona?
From general knowledge, new homes cluster where there was space to build: the 22@ area of Poblenou, around Diagonal Mar, and La Sagrera. Sant Martí is the district where the first two sit, and our Sant Martí hub lists the businesses there.
Of the 89 businesses on the list, 47 are in Eixample, 18 in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi and 8 in Sant Martí, mostly because developers keep sales offices in the centre while the buildings are elsewhere. So an office address tells you little about where the homes are. For each scheme, ask for the exact address and the delivery date, and compare it with what the real estate agencies in that district offer.
Frequently asked questions
Do you pay VAT or transfer tax on a new-build home in Barcelona?+
On the first sale of a new home you pay VAT, not transfer tax (ITP). Housing falls under the reduced 10 per cent VAT rate in article 91 of the VAT law, which also covers up to two garage spaces sold with it. You also pay stamp duty (AJD), which the Catalan tax agency lists at 1.5 per cent for VAT-subject transfers. Check the VAT law.
Is my deposit protected when I buy off-plan in Barcelona?+
Yes, by law. A developer that takes advance payments for housing under construction must guarantee their return plus legal interest, through a surety insurance policy or a bank guarantee, and must hold the money in a special bank account. The rule is in the first additional provision of the building law, the Ley de Ordenación de la Edificación.
What is the ten-year structural insurance on new builds?+
It is a damages guarantee covering defects that affect the foundations, columns, beams, slabs, load-bearing walls or other structural elements, for ten years. The building law requires it for buildings mainly used as housing, with an exception for a self-builder of a single home for their own use. Ask your lawyer to see the policy before you sign.
Which parts of Barcelona have the most new developments?+
From general market knowledge, new homes cluster in the 22@ district of Poblenou, around Diagonal Mar and in La Sagrera, where large urban projects have been built or planned. Businesses on our list also sell new homes in Sants-Montjuïc, such as a sales office at Port Montjuïc. We do not quote prices, which change quickly.
Should I use a lawyer to buy a new-build home?+
Yes, we would. The developer's contract is written by the developer, and a lawyer checks the licence, the payment guarantee, the delivery date, the quality specification and the penalty if it is late. A real estate lawyer costs little next to the amount you pay in stages.
