Rental Advice - Spanish Homeowners

Should I Buy to Let?

The rental holiday market in Spain is stronger than ever and with numerous low cost airlines servicing a wide range of Spanish airports on a daily basis from many European bases, the continued year-on-year rise of 'DIY' holidays looks set to continue.

But how does this help the buy to let investor? 

Just some of the many benefits are listed below:

• With more and more holidaymakers looking to create their own holidays, the demand for short term holiday lets in Spain is at an all time high, especially during the summer months.

• If your holiday home is left empty when you are not visiting - it makes real financial sense to rent it out and make it pay for itself.

• All the time your property is 'paying for itself', it is generally appreciating in value.

• The increase in holiday home rental sites such as Rentaccomspain.com makes marketing your property yourself easier than ever.

• Spain now has a good infrastructure, especially in the coastal holiday regions.

• Spain is only around two hours flying time from most European countries which helps to make it one of the most popular destinations for foreign holidays.

We would always recommend that you do your own, independent research before deciding to purchase any property and this is more important when purchasing in a foreign country. Never be tempted to buy the first property you see as almost always you will see a better one, or one more suited to your needs, later in your search.
