Buy to let properties

Investing in “Buy to let” properties is becoming a popular alternative for the individual investor who wishes to diversify their investment portfolio, or for those who just want to make a solid investment in real estate.

Good rental income on the one hand and the constant increase in value of property on the other, makes the “buy to let” properties a profitable business and a smart investment.

In recent years most of our clients have chosen the “buy to let” option as their preferred investment plan, obtaining excellent economical results.

Five reasons why Barcelona has become an ideal city for “buying to let” properties:

1. High demand for renting residential and commercial properties

   Barcelona is a thriving European business hub, with a large international workforce and a busy tourism industry, with good quality rental accommodation always in demand

2. Convenient legislation for owners.

3. Tenants are responsible for all maintenance costs

   In Spain, your tenants are responsible for all maintenance costs, as well as community charges and other monthly costs.

4. Great offer of reliable property management companies

5. Relatively low real estate taxes or other fixed costs.

For our clients who love to visit Barcelona and choose to invest in residential property we normally recommend to invest in an apartment that could later on be exploited as a holiday apartment or rented by days, for tourists visiting Barcelona (“short term rentals”). The short term rentals in Barcelona have become very popular during the last years and we have created a management company (www.apartime.com) that rent holiday apartments by day to our clients. This way they can generate a good income and can enjoy their apartment whenever they choose to visit Barcelona. All the management and maintenance tasks of the apartments are being taking care of by our special management team.
