Property for sale in Gran Canaria

Homes for sale across the island, with an English-speaking agent from our Gran Canaria office.

Buying in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria packs very different places into one round island. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a real city all year round, with Las Canteras beach in the middle of town, the old quarters of Vegueta and Triana and good connections to the rest of Europe. The south, with Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés, Meloneras and San Agustín and, in Mogán, Puerto Rico, Arguineguín and Puerto de Mogán, is the sunny coast most international buyers know. Inland and in the north, towns such as Santa Brígida, Teror or Arucas offer more space and a greener, quieter life.

Below are the homes we have for sale on the island today, straight from our own listings.

Frequently asked questions

Can foreigners buy property in Gran Canaria?

Yes. British and other foreign buyers purchase homes in Gran Canaria all the time. You will need an NIE, the identification number for foreigners in Spain, and in practice a Spanish bank account. Before signing, the notary checks that everything your purchase needs is in place.

Do I need to live in Spain to buy a home in Gran Canaria?

No. Many of our buyers purchase while living in the UK. Owning a home does not by itself give you the right to live in Spain: since Brexit, UK citizens follow the residence and visa rules set by the Spanish authorities.

Which taxes do I pay when buying in Gran Canaria?

On a resale home you pay the property transfer tax (ITP) set by the Canary Islands Government. On a new build you pay the Canary Islands indirect tax (IGIC) instead of VAT, plus stamp duty. The current rates are published by the Agencia Tributaria Canaria: check them there before you make an offer.

Can I get a Spanish mortgage as a non-resident?

Spanish banks do lend to non-residents, usually on different terms from residents. We work with partner mortgage brokers, OPENICI and REALISTA. Their study is free; if you then decide to hire the broker, there is a fee that the broker quotes you.

Will I deal with someone who speaks English?

Yes. An English-speaking agent from our Gran Canaria office looks after your search, the viewings and every step up to the notary.
