Should you sell or rent out your home in Altea?
It depends on you: whether you need the money now, whether you plan to use the home again or whether you would rather have rent coming in every month. I tell you what it’s worth and what it could earn in rent, and you decide with both figures in front of you.
Rent it out
Rent every month- You receive rent every month
- The home is still yours
- You can get it back when the contract ends
- You keep paying property tax (IBI), community fees and repairs
The rent is declared in your income tax return.
Sell it
All the money at once- You have all the money on completion day
- No more tenants or running costs
- You benefit from how prices have risen in the area
- The home is no longer yours
If it’s already let and you want to sell, that can be done too.
How do you rent out your property through an estate agent?
From the first call to signing the contract.
I tell you what rent to ask
Based on what people pay in your area for a home like yours. Ask too much and the home sits empty for months.
We get it ready
Professional photography and a 360 virtual tour, so it looks good from day one.
We advertise it
On the website, on social media and to the people who ask us for a home to rent in the area.
We show it and you choose
We do the viewings and introduce you to the people interested, so you can choose with the facts in hand.
Contract and keys
A written contract, the deposit and handing over the keys. You decide who you rent it to.
What do you need to know before renting out your home in Spain?
The Urban Leases Act (Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos) sets some rules worth knowing before you sign.
Up to five years
Even if you sign for one year, the tenant can keep extending up to five (seven if the owner is a company). After that, it renews year by year unless someone gives notice.
One month’s rent
The law requires a deposit of one month’s rent. You can ask for an additional guarantee of up to two more months’ rent.
Paid by the owner
When renting a main residence, the estate agency and contract costs are paid by the owner, not the tenant.

How much rent can I charge for my house in Spain? +
It depends on the area, the size, the condition and whether it's furnished. Tell me about your home and I'll give you a rent based on what people pay in your area.
Who pays the estate agent's fees when renting in Spain? +
When renting a main residence, the owner does. The law does not allow them to be charged to the tenant.

For a main residence, the tenant can extend it up to five years (seven if the owner is a company), even if the contract is signed for a shorter period.
Can I rent it out seasonally or to tourists? +
Yes, but each has its own rules. A tourist let also has to be registered with the Generalitat and comply with whatever the town hall requires. Tell me what you want to do.
What if I want to sell it later on? +
It can be sold with the tenant still living there. I explain how in selling a property with tenants.
