Our terms

We usually start the search before the client arrives in Spain; the contract is signed on move-in, when the keys are handed over.

Our experience and contacts with agencies let us rent out flats with almost any set of documents - no bank account or NIE required to start the search.

How the fee is calculated

Flats under our management

One fee only - no extra payment to the agency.

Other properties

A fee of 50% of one month's rent (minimum €700) plus a 100% agency fee.

"Individual search" service

80% of one month's rent (minimum €900), a €300 prepayment, up to 10 viewings (more viewings add €100 to the fee). The deal typically takes 2-4 weeks.

What's included

  • Search tailored to your request
  • Arranging and accompanying viewings (video call if you are not in Spain yet)
  • Agreeing the contract terms
  • Preparing documents and arranging payments
  • Checking the contract
  • Arranging non-payment insurance

Standard payment terms

Current month + deposit (2 months' rent) + agency fee (1 month + 21% IVA - we try to negotiate this) + our fee, 80% (for the individual-search service).

An advance rent payment is discussed individually - it is an uncommon practice.

Please note. The tenant pays utilities; the community fee (comunidad) and IBI are paid by the owner. Non-payment insurance (seguro de impago) costs about 55% of one month's rent per year - usually paid by the owner, sometimes passed on to the tenant; this is discussed case by case.

Every deal is a piece of fine craftsmanship.
