Moving to Barcelona

The nation’s second city has long had something of an independent streak, which is what makes it such a sought after location. Here’s a few things you need to consider before you make the switch…

 

How expensive is Barcelona compared to the UK?

Prices in Barcelona may be higher than in any other city or region in Spain, with the exception of certain districts of Madrid, but it’s still a cheap place to live. Rather than comparing it to rural or coastal Spain, you will want to compare it to London where it costs on average 45% more to buy or rent a property. Yes, the wages on offer in Spain are lower than in the UK, but not to the extent that they come anywhere near close to closing this gap. This makes Barcelona an attractive proposition for professionals and young families looking to relocate and immerse themselves in a new culture. 

 

Should you rent or buy in Barcelona?

Unlike a lot of countries, with the exception of Germany, there’s a culture of looking to rent well into middle and old age for many. While this is often done in the UK out of necessity, here it is done out of choice where an abundance of renters gives them power to enjoy lower relative prices and move around until they find their forever home. As one of Europe’s premier cities for both business and pleasure, Barcelona is an ideal location to invest in property. If you chose a district and neighbourhood that’s popular with young families with two working professionals, there’ll be a constant influx of would-be buyers you can sell to when the time is right to move to the next rung on the property ladder. 

 

Is Barcelona a safe city to live in?

While there are occasional reports of large scale independence demonstrations related to Catalonia, these are largely peaceful and do not impact the way of life for the vast majority of citizens. This passionate part of the country is well policed, equipped with state of the art healthcare, and has a diverse public school network. All of these things help lower crime rates below the European average and create an open and approachable culture in which you will be safe and secure, day and night. 

 

Any tips for living in Barcelona?

There are tourist areas and there are areas only the locals live in, which means you’ll want to decide which you want when you make your move. If you want authentic Barcelona with a chance to connect with the locals, opt for the latter and you won’t be disappointed. You’ll also get a chance to enjoy match days at the Camp Nou if football and live sport is your thing, as well as traditional tapas late into the evening when you want to bond with your new workmates.
