Long-term investment potential

Andorra’s limited land supply and careful regulation help protect long-term property values. Demand remains consistent across its key residential areas, supported by international buyers seeking lifestyle benefits and financial efficiency. For those focused on capital preservation, the principality offers a stable and distinctive property market.

Buying property in Andorra

Foreign nationals can purchase property in Andorra freely. The government welcomes international investment, and the legal process is clearly defined. Non-residents must simply obtain administrative authorisation from the Andorran government before proceeding. This is a straightforward step that your legal representative will handle on your behalf.
Once an offer is accepted, the buyer pays a reservation fee to secure the property. A preliminary contract is then signed, typically requiring a ten percent deposit. The final stage takes place before an Andorran notary, who oversees the signing of the public title deed (Escritura Publica) and the formal transfer of funds. The process is transparent and highly regulated.
Appointing an independent, locally registered lawyer is highly recommended. Your legal adviser will conduct thorough due diligence, ensuring the property is free of debts and holds all correct planning permissions. They will also manage the foreign investment authorisation and review all contracts, ensuring your interests are fully protected throughout the transaction.
Buyers should budget approximately four to five percent of the purchase price for transaction costs. This includes a fixed property transfer tax (ITP) of four percent, alongside notary fees that operate on a sliding scale based on the property value. Your lawyer will outline all exact costs prior to the preliminary contract being signed.
