One tenant. One payment. Zero hassle.

A calm, predictable way to earn from a Spanish property — with no tourist licence and no permission letter from the community of owners.

Not every property owner in Spain is set up for Airbnb. Some don't have a tourist licence (VUT). Others can't get one, because the comunidad de propietarios has voted against short-term rentals. And some owners simply prefer fewer check-ins, less turnover and a single reliable tenant.

You don't need a tourist licence for this. Spanish law treats long-term residential lets under the Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos — a completely different legal framework from holiday rentals. For many owners on the Costa Blanca it is simply the more practical route.

Who it's for

Long-term management fits if you…

Don't hold a tourist licence

And you don't want to start the VUT application.

Can't obtain a VUT

Your community of owners has banned short-term rentals, or won't issue the certificate of no objection.

Live abroad

And prefer one tenant and one monthly payment over constant turnover.

Own a property you aren't using

And want steady, low-effort income instead of seasonal peaks.

Want a calmer alternative

To the operational demands of running an Airbnb listing.

Want lower wear and tear

Fewer check-ins mean fewer breakages and less intensive cleaning.

What we handle

The whole lifecycle of a tenancy.

So there is nothing left for you to manage from another country.

Tenant search and screening

We market the property on the main Spanish rental portals, take professional photos and handle every viewing. Each applicant is checked — ID, employment, references, payment history — before we shortlist for your approval.

Contracts under Spanish law

We prepare the contract under the Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos, collect the deposit (fianza) and lodge it with the regional housing authority. The inventory report and move-in checklist are ours too.

Rent collection and reporting

We collect the monthly rent, transfer it to your account and send a clear monthly statement — what came in, what went out, what your net income was.

Maintenance and tenant support

We answer tenant requests day and night, coordinate trusted local trades, and approve invoices against limits you set in advance.

Utilities, community fees and visits

We can take over the utility contracts, pay community and IBI charges on your behalf and run scheduled inspections so small problems stay small.

Renewals and check-out

At renewal we review the market rent and negotiate. At check-out we complete the inventory, return the deposit in line with Spanish law and prepare the home for its next tenant.

Where we work

Across the southern Costa Blanca.

Torrevieja · Guardamar del Segura · Punta Prima · La Zenia · Cabo Roig · Dehesa de Campoamor · Orihuela Costa.

Long-term is often the most profitable option, not just the easiest.

Especially for owners who can't, or would rather not, operate on Airbnb. Tell us about the property and we'll give you both numbers.
