Can I buy property in Lanzarote as a UK citizen after Brexit?

Yes. UK citizens can still buy property in Lanzarote and the rest of Spain. The main change post-Brexit is that you'll need a NIE (Foreign Identification Number) before completing a purchase, and there are some differences in residency rules if you plan to stay long-term. Our team can guide you through the current requirements.

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

A typical purchase takes between 4 and 12 weeks from offer to completion, depending on whether a mortgage is involved and how quickly the legal checks are completed. Cash purchases can complete faster.

What taxes do I pay when buying property in Lanzarote?

The main tax is the Impuesto General Indirecto Canario (IGIC), the Canary Islands equivalent of VAT, on new builds, or the Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales (ITP) on resale properties, which is currently 6.5% in the Canary Islands. You'll also pay notary fees, land registry fees and legal costs. We always provide a full breakdown before any purchase proceeds.
