The Gran Canaria real estate market offers very different opportunities: primary residences, second homes, apartments close to the sea and properties intended as investments. However, buying or selling a property on the island requires analysing much more than the advertised price. The location, the legal and planning status of the property, community fees, the condition of the building, taxation and the actual demand in each area can have a decisive impact on the outcome of the transaction. For this reason, having professional advice from the very beginning can help avoid mistakes, negotiate with greater confidence and ensure that the entire process is properly organised. WHAT A BUYER SHOULD ANALYSE BEFORE STARTING Before viewing properties, it is advisable to clearly define the purpose of the purchase. The requirements are not the same when the property is intended as a primary residence, second home, long-term rental or investment. The main aspects to consider are: • Maximum available budget. • Need for mortgage financing. • Taxes and costs associated with the purchase. • Location and transport connections. • Proximity to the sea, services, schools or shopping areas. • Condition of the property and the building. • Ordinary and extraordinary community fees. • Whether the property can actually be used for its intended purpose. Gran Canaria has very different areas. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria offers an active urban lifestyle, extensive services and residential demand throughout the year. The south of the island attracts both residents and international buyers interested in the climate, proximity to the sea and holiday properties. Other towns may offer more moderate prices, larger properties or a quieter environment. There is no single perfect area for everyone. The choice should be based on the buyer's budget, lifestyle and specific purpose of the purchase. DOCUMENTATION THAT SHOULD BE REVIEWED An attractive property may have charges, restrictions or expenses that are not apparent during a viewing. Before paying a substantial amount or signing a deposit agreement, it is advisable to review the property's documentation. Among other documents, the following should be checked: • An up-to-date Land Registry extract (Nota Simple). • The identity of the owners and their legal capacity to sell. • The existence of mortgages, seizures, usufructs or other charges. • The cadastral reference and property description. • The latest receipt for the Property Tax (IBI). • The energy efficiency certificate. • A certificate from the owners' community confirming that there are no outstanding debts. • Recent minutes from the owners' community meetings. • Any approved or anticipated special assessments. • The planning and urban status of the property and any extensions or additions. It is also important to check that the surface area, layout and any additional elements shown in reality correspond to the information recorded in the Land Registry and Cadastre. Enclosed terraces, extensions, additional rooms or undocumented modifications may require further analysis. THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT The deposit agreement (arras) is one of the most important documents in the transaction. It should not be treated as a simple standard reservation agreement. It should correctly identify the buyer, seller and property. It should also state the purchase price, the amount paid as a deposit, the deadline for signing before a notary, the allocation of expenses, any existing charges and the consequences of a breach of the agreement. If the purchase depends on obtaining financing, this circumstance should be carefully considered before signing. Paying money without first checking the feasibility of obtaining a mortgage may create an unnecessary risk for the buyer. Every transaction has different characteristics. Therefore, the content of the agreement should be adapted to the legal situation of the property and to the agreements reached between the parties. TAXES AND COSTS FOR BUYERS IN THE CANARY ISLANDS When purchasing a resale property, the buyer will normally have to pay Transfer Tax (Impuesto sobre Transmisiones Patrimoniales). In the Canary Islands, the general rate applicable in 2026 to the transfer of properties is 6.5%, although reduced rates may apply when certain requirements are met. When purchasing a newly built property directly from the developer, the taxation is different and may include IGIC and Stamp Duty (Actos Jurídicos Documentados). In addition to taxes, the buyer should budget for: • Notary fees where applicable. • Land Registry registration fees. • Possible administrative or conveyancing fees. • Property valuation fees when mortgage financing is involved. • Professional fees, where applicable. • Ongoing community fees, utilities and maintenance costs. The total amount will depend on the purchase price, type of property, the buyer's personal circumstances and the structure of the transaction. Before signing, it is advisable to request an individualised and up-to-date calculation. NON-RESIDENT BUYERS Gran Canaria receives a significant number of foreign and non-resident buyers. These transactions may require additional procedures. Foreign buyers will generally need a Foreigner Identity Number (NIE) and a bank account to facilitate payments related to the transaction. They must also provide evidence of the source of funds and submit the documentation required under anti-money laundering regulations. If the buyer is unable to travel to the island for all the necessary procedures, certain formalities can be carried out through a properly prepared and notarised power of attorney. It is also advisable to understand in advance the tax obligations arising from owning a property, even when it is not rented out. If the property is going to be rented, the applicable regulations and tax treatment should also be carefully assessed.
