This year the Costa del Sol and the Costa Blanca will achieve the highest rental prices for holiday accommodation in the whole of Spain including the Balearics and the Canaries.

In August the average monthly rental per sq metre will be as high as €81.95, which means the owner of a 60 sq metre apartment could enjoy a rental of €4,917.

This is 67% more than the Costa Brava and 70% more than Almeria. (Source SUR 28 March 02.) ; But on the Costa del Sol and the Costa Blanca the rental opportunity is not a summer only phenomenon.

Unlike many holiday locations throughout the Mediterranean, the costas  enjoys international and Spanish visitors all year round, with no sense of it 'shutting down' at the end of the summer.


firstly.....
...the cosmopolitan ambience of the Costa Del Sol and the Costa Blanca, the local microclimate, and the unmatched cultural and sporting facilities throughout the area continue to attract discerning visitors throughout the year. Most prefer the freedom of a private rental to the rigidity of the big hotels.


secondly.....
...golf and all its related activities has become a multi-billion pound industry throughout the region with visitors to the 100 plus courses fuelling demand for private rental properties, particularly on or near the courses.


finally.....
...the ever-growing commercial infrastructure of the coast and the nearby city's of Malaga and Alicante is attracting Spanish and European middle management and young professionals who frequently require a medium to long-term rental quite often paid for by their employer.

consequently.....
..your rental property will rarely sit empty and should provide a substantial extra income as well as the option of using it for yourself and your family whenever you decide.

If you're planning to buy property for rental purposes Houseban can recommend you to the specific areas and properties that attract the most rental enquiries and best income.

You may choose to handle the rentals and yourself or leave it all to a property management company, which we would be happy to recommend.

Either way it's not unusual to enjoy a return on your investment of more than 8% even allowing for mortgage payments, un-let weeks, and your costs.

And while you're enjoying the rental income, your property will quietly rise in value providing a great security for you and your family's future.
