Update due to the Corona crisis. during 20/21 the map has been redrawn. Several players have closed etc. Many new ones will establish themselves in 2022, 2023 but until then you will find the best selection on Booking in the link above. This applies to both Nerja and the western Costa Del Sol (Marbella and Nueva Andalucia, Estepona, Benalmadena, etc.), Costa Tropical (Almunecar) and Costa Blanca with Altea at the forefront.

Rental of cheaper listing

If you want to rent a home for a longer period of time, private options via portals such as Kyero, Blocket, etc. are the most popular. The most available long-stay accommodation is in Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Seville, Malaga, Valencia, Alicante, etc. However, keep in mind that in Spain you own your home, and rental apartments do not work in the same way as in Sweden. Instead, you sign a long-stay contract for a maximum of 9 months at a time. Deposits are customary.

 

Rent a house or apartment in Spain privately

Rental in Spain

In many cases, there is no other option than to rent on site (especially if you are renting for a year or longer). Whether you are looking for accommodation on one of the Spanish islands, or on the mainland such as Costa Blanca, Costa Calida, Costa del Sol, as well as the big cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, etc. There are many vacant properties in Spain for rent, in the wake of the crisis, and private options are advertising extensively in local newspapers, at the airport, etc. The deposit varies, but 3 months or more is not uncommon for a deposit to be required.

One tip is to rent a home for a couple of weeks to a month from, for example, us or another provider and then find one private long-term option on site. This is almost always the most economical strategy, albeit a bit riskier. It's also a good strategy in that you really get a feel for the surroundings and accommodation once you're there.

Rents in Spain are often astonishingly cheap for apartments and houses that are not located that close to the beach or other popular areas. The reason there are not many agents in Sweden who broker these homes is simply that the administration costs more than it is worth. It is simply not worth it.

Tip: If you want to live as cheaply as possible in the sun, avoid the most popular areas where tourism is strong more or less all year round. So, for example, the Costa Blanca's range of rental properties is cheaper than Costa del Sol (which broke a new tourism record last year) and Girona or Lloret del Mar are cheaper than the big city of Barcelona. Even within some more limited areas, prices vary greatly. Almunecar on Costa Tropical is a cheaper option than popular Nerja, Estepona is cheaper than Marbella, etc. It occurs as with everything else in Spain large regional and local differences in price .
