Local regulation
- Stressed housing market. Barcelona is designated a stressed residential market area (Law 12/2023): rents may be capped according to the reference index.
- Tourist flats. Barcelona is not granting new tourist-flat licences (VUT) across virtually the entire city, and the City Council plans to withdraw existing ones by around 2028. Buying for tourist lets: high regulatory risk.
