BCN Life - Expat Barcelona Relocation Services & Home Finding Expert

Lia and her team have been so helpful and meticulous. It was easy to communicate and we felt it was a real collaboration and that our needs were heard through the whole process. Also love how they build in a lot of community support in their model - it's been a great experience. Our move to Barcelona was so much smoother than we could have hoped and I credit BCN life for that!

BCN Life made our relocation to Barcelona seamless and smooth. We worked with them remotely from the U.S., and they went above and beyond — visiting apartments on our behalf, negotiating lease terms, and ultimately helping us secure a fantastic place to live. Their team was professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local rental market. What really sets BCN Life apart is their commitment to building community — their WhatsApp group for expats has been a great way to stay connected, ask questions, and get insider tips. If you’re planning a move to Barcelona, I can’t recommend BCN Life highly enough. They’re the real deal.

Absolutely outstanding experience with BCN Life! From start to finish, their team made our relocation to Barcelona not only smooth but genuinely enjoyable. They guided us through every single step of the visa process with a wealth of knowledge and a level of care that turned what could have been a daunting journey into a seamless transition. Once we arrived, BCN Life continued to be an invaluable resource. They found us a beautiful apartment in a neighborhood we love, balancing our preferences and budget perfectly. They even took the time to connect us with the local expat community, making us feel at home from day one and allowing us to build an instant network of friends and support. Their attention to detail extended to helping us navigate private health insurance and connecting us with Spanish classes. These touches have been key to helping us settle into our new life with confidence and ease. Overall, BCN Life exceeded our expectations at every step. We can’t recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to make a big move to Barcelona – their expertise, warmth, and commitment to their clients make them an absolute standout.

We used BCN Life to help us find an apartment and relocate to Barcelona this past November. We moved from the USA for my spouse to attend an art program here, and the idea of trying to find an apartment on our own was stressful and daunting. I appreciated how BCN Life was able to find us an apartment while we were still in the states, and it allowed us to directly move into our new home. Not only did they find us an apartment, but they have been able to connect us with resources and referrals around the city as we get settled in and learn how to live life in another country and culture. I am not sure where we would have been without their services!

Moving to a new country is challenging, exciting, daunting. BCN Life has made it all so much easier for us. I honestly do not know how we would’ve been able to do it without them. Absolutely everyone we have worked with at BCN Life has been a joy to work with. They helped us to navigate all the necessary paperwork for the visa process. It would’ve been a nightmare without their help. They helped us to find our beautiful new flat, get health insurance, meet new friends, find Spanish classes and even get hair stylists lined up. They are very responsive to all our questions. Lia is a real estate marvel, Hugh is not only great at making sure all the boxes are checked but also makes sure everyone feels welcome and helps to connect us all to one another and to cultural events about town. And Michael gave my beloved a hairstyle that turned him into Pierce Brosnan! 5 Stars to this crew!

BCN Life is an absolute dream to work with! If you're planning to relocate to Barcelona, I can't recommend Hugh and the entire team more highly. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and personalized support make the process smooth and stress-free. Whether you're navigating logistics or settling into your new home, they go above and beyond to ensure your transition is seamless.

These folks will do everything in their power to make moving to Barcelona work smoothly. They are great! Just keep in mind that it will still not be smooth. Many Spanish private organizations and government agencies just seem incapable of competent organization and communication. That came as a surprise for an EU country. So you absolutely need help, and Lia, Hugh, and company are highly recommended! Even after their official role has ended, they continue to give much appreciated help with medical emergencies, transport questions, special arrangements, etc
