We understand that investing in a foreign property market can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve compiled the answers to the most common questions about buying a vacation home in Spain. Need personalized guidance? We’ve got you covered.
Spain’s real estate market, particularly in the Costa del Sol, offers a high ROI due to year-round tourism, increasing property values, and strong rental demand. Investing in the right property, in the right location, can provide both income and appreciation.
Two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes for 4 people are the most in-demand. They attract families and couples, which form the largest group of vacationers. Larger homes for 6 or more people often face lower demand and higher competition.
Location is critical. Properties near beaches, Malaga, or year-round hotspots ensure steady demand. Avoid remote areas that shut down in off-peak seasons unless your target market specifically seeks that experience.
Amenities like hot tubs, indoor pools, EV charging stations, saunas, gyms, or even small touches like Netflix or beach towels can differentiate your property from others.
Reservation fee: €6,000–€10,000.
Deposit: 30% of the total price at the contract stage.
Final payment: 70% at the notary, often covered by a mortgage.
Key risks include misleading listings, unregulated real estate agents, delayed building permits, or selecting properties with low rental demand. Our consultancy service ensures you avoid these pitfalls.

Investing early often means lower prices, as prices tend to increase throughout the construction phases. Early buyers benefit from value appreciation as the project nears completion.
When selling your property, you must pay 19% tax on any profit earned. Additional taxes and fees, such as VAT and notary costs, also apply when purchasing.
Accessibility to Malaga and popular hotspots (ideally within 45 minutes).
Year-round amenities and attractions for steady rental demand.
Proximity to beaches, public transport, or essential facilities.
