This is a market index (from rental price reports), not the government's official calculation for a specific home. For the exact value of your home based on its address and features, use the Ministry of Housing's official tool: check SERPAVI

How to use this figure

This price per m² is a market reference, not a legal cap in itself. It's calculated by dividing the monthly rent by the home's floor area, so you can use it to compare your own contract: if you're paying well above this figure, it's worth checking whether the rest of the contract's clauses are also out of line.

If your home is also in a rent-stressed area, this price can be useful when negotiating or backing up a claim, though the binding official index for that is SERPAVI, not this market figure.

Barcelona is also a rent-stressed market area

If your contract in Barcelona is new, this can limit how much your landlord can charge compared with the previous contract on the same property.

Frequently asked questions

Where does Barcelona's reference price come from?
From market rental price reports (not a registry of real contracts), published periodically. We update it when new data becomes available.
Is this the same price the government uses to cap rent?
Not exactly. The government uses SERPAVI, which calculates a specific range for each home based on its address. This figure for Barcelona is a general market reference, useful for a first comparison before checking SERPAVI.

Is your rent in Barcelona within range?

Upload your contract and we'll work out the price per m² you're paying to compare it with this reference and review the rest of the clauses.
