And what do they share after working with us?
Thomas Rivera2024-09-11Lilia helped us find our dream apartment in short time, getting us a place even better than what we were looking for. Thanks to her we managed to have a place that not only ticked our boxes, but also had extras we weren't even hoping for
Quentin Desvalois2024-06-06Lilia is amazing! Takes time to understand what you need and guide you in the correct direction. Highly recommended.
Cyrielle M2024-03-11Extrêmement satisfaite de l'accompagnement de Lilia. Elle a su s'adapter à notre besoin particulier et y répondre de façon adéquate. De plus elle est très réactive, je recommande ++
PL Bourmi2024-02-10Lilia is amazing! Proactive in the appartment research and very reactive! I highly recommend her services. As a non Spanish speaker, this service made my life so much easier.
Amy Dodson2024-01-13Lilia is outstanding. She went above and beyond to make our entire experience seamless. Her professional approach is top notch. She found temporary rental accommodation in Alicante quickly, meeting our needs and negotiating the contract with the property manager. We highly recommend hiring her services, especially when everything is handled in a different country. We will absolutely use her services again, should we need it in the future.
Scott Hummer2023-11-20What an amazing service! Settling into a new country is daunting. So much many things that are difficult to navigate in opening accounts, finding a long-term rental, transferring utilities, etc. Make Barcelona Home literally did that and made the transition to Spain smooth and painless. I cannot imagine how hard it would have been to have done this, or even parts of it, on my own.
Karen Ax2023-10-10Thank you for your help, Lilia. Everything was taken care of promptly and with care. She followed up to make sure everything she had helped with was going smoothly afterwards. Highly recommend!

Legal and administrative
There’s a possibility to open a residential (after obtaining the NIE or TIE) or non residential bank account (with passport) with the major Spanish banks like BBVA, Santander, Sabadell, Caixa.
You can also open an account online with Revolut. All you need is to get a Spanish phone number and download the app.
In order to get you NIE, first you need to take an appointment at the police station. You can take the appointment here. Make sure you have all the necessary documents and your passport. Before the appointment you need to pay the tax Modelo 790_012 and fill the form. You can find more information and the forms here.
Once you have signed the lease, you can register with the city hall and get the empadronamiento. This document will grant you access to the state healthcare, state schools, parkings, libraries and other state services. You’ll also need this document if you want to change your driving license or register your car in Spain. This service is free. In order to obtain the padron, you need an appointment at one of the Ayuntamiento offices. You can get your appointment here.
Housing and accommodation
The rental price varies from 15€ to 23€ per sq.m depending on the neighborhoods. The areas like Eixample, Sarria Saint Gervasy, Pedralbes are considered to be the most prestigious areas and the price can go up to 20€ per sq.m.
Most families choose to live in areas such as Sarria-Sant Gervasi, Eixample, Pedralbes because of their proximity to most International schools. However, if you prefer to live close to the sea, you might opt for Poblenou-Diagonal Mar. It’s a young and fast expanding area of Barcelona with new infrastructure and lots of modern buildings.
If you’re a student or a young worker who wants to experience the authentic Barcelona vibe, you can choose Gracia, Eixample, Poble Sec, Sant Antoni, or even Born or El Gotic. Caveat: Gotic and Born are very touristic areas and get overcrowded in summer season.
The most popular websites for buying or renting the properties in Barcelona are:
