Buying a house on the Mediterranean coast, such as the Costa Blanca in Spain, can be a lucrative investment. If you plan to rent out your property to holidaymakers, it can provide a steady income. Even if you don’t intend to rent out your home, it is important that your property is in safe hands and well maintained in your absence.

Fees for our services
For long term lettings we do not normally charge for advertising and general tenancy organisation. Our commission may be included in the rent we charge tenants. For short term rentals our commission is 20% of the rent. If you leave your home empty, maintenance fees can range from €300 to €2000 per year depending on the area and condition of the property.
The benefits of short term rentals
Short term rentals in Spain can be very lucrative. With proper management, you can earn as much in 4 months of the tourist season as a long term rental would bring in a year.
