We arrange everything
We help you earn more
Since in Spain each municipality is allowed to impose its own rules, it is therefore important to obtain the necessary permits first of all.
It is also necessary for the bank to be informed, if you have a mortgage. Also check with your insurance company; as the fire and liability insurance for your property may change when you rent it out.
Finally, it is important to make good agreements with tenants. This way, you avoid problems in the future. Unlike many holiday home rental companies, at Vakantie Verhuur Spanje we arrange everything for you. The rules to be followed by the tenants are clear, the rent amount will be paid to you punctually.
Several factors affect the size of your rental income. These are the main ones:
Location of your holiday home. Is the property close to the beach or a tourist attraction? This plays a very important role in the return on investment of your holiday home
The size of the holiday home: the more bedrooms and the more square metres the property has, the more people can comfortably stay overnight and the more you can charge per night.
The right price: If the rental price is too high, guests are more likely to book a cheaper holiday home in the region. That’s why we help you find the right price.
Amenities in the holiday home: swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, air conditioning, etc. are all amenities that can increase the rental price.
The state of the house: was the holiday home recently renovated or is it slightly older? We help you present the holiday home correctly.
The season: Demand fluctuates throughout the year. In high season, summer, school holidays or just winter (sports) period, you can earn more than during low seasons.
Events nearby: If an event is organised near your holiday home, you may get more during this period.
Rules rental holiday home: Following the legislation is important, which is why we help you follow the right rules as best we can.
Long-term rentals are not subject to the restrictions that apply to holiday rentals.
The rental law introduced in 2016 heavily regulated the holiday rental sector, requiring owners to register their properties with the government along with the first occupancy permit before it can be rented out.
You must also meet certain standards set by the local government to ensure the comfort and safety of guests.
In contrast, long-term rentals have no restrictions or requirements. You just need to inform your Gestor that you are going to rent out the property to ensure that you declare the income and pay tax on it. You should also update your fire insurance to ensure you are covered for other people renting the property.
You must be in possession of the title deed to confirm that the house you are renting out is yours. Because there is a high demand from tenants looking for a long-term rental property on the Costa’s, Holiday Rental Spain can find a suitable tenant fairly quickly.
Landlords pay a finder’s fee to brokers who have found a tenant for them. Most people, especially those who do not live in Spain, will also hire a property management company to handle everything for them. Although this incurs extra costs, you can be sure that maintenance issues will be resolved without having to deal with them yourself from abroad. Contact us for more information on our property management services.
Of course, this varies by property and area. In general, prices are rising due to high demand and limited supply.
It is important to note that once you set the rent, you are limited in how much you can increase it. Because of the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis, restrictions have been put in place that allow you to increase rent by only 3% this year and indexed from 2025 onwards.
Contact us with the details of your property and location, and we can give you a recommended price.
Absolutely! However, it is especially suitable for owners who live abroad, or have a second home in Spain and do not use the property regularly. If the property is mortgage-free, this is ideal as you do not have to worry about rising interest rates and you can enjoy regular payments to cover the cost of your community fees and council tax and make a tidy profit.
You have to pay tax on your rental income.
Under Spanish tax law, long-term property rentals in both Spain and abroad qualify for a tax deduction of 60% of the net rental income, and mortgage tax deductions can also be claimed.
If you are not a resident of Spain, but a resident of the EU, you have to pay foreign tax, known as IRNR (Impuesto sobre la Renta de No Residentes). In this case, there are deductions for expenses related to the property.
Talk to a Gestor or Accountant to find out exactly how much you have to pay.
The landlord pays community fees and IBI (municipal tax) and any maintenance costs. You should take these costs into account when setting your rental rate.
The tenant pays the energy bills and puts the subscriptions in his name. They are responsible for paying for their electricity, gas, water and internet/phone and must take out insurance for personal belongings.
The tenant must pay a one-month deposit before moving into the house. It is not unusual for landlords to then ask for additional guarantees in the form of another month’s deposit, as protection against non-payment.
Some insurance policies offer additional compensation for non-payment, so it is worth looking into this if you are concerned.
We have a very high demand and shortage of housing and we know a number of prospective tenants who are desperate for a home. All flats, townhouses and villas are in demand, so it is a great way to generate income from your property if you do not use it often.
We can do that!
