A property for rental income
Assess tenant appeal, evidence of local demand, realistic occupancy and the costs of preparing and running the property. Establish which letting arrangements are permitted for the individual home.
Investors
Buying to rent on the Costa del Sol.
Find a property that fits your rental investment plans.
We help property investors compare suitable homes on the Costa del Sol, examine the evidence behind rental estimates and understand the costs and responsibilities of ownership.
Discuss your investment plans
Start with your investment brief.
Tell us your purchase budget, rental strategy and timeframe. We help you define a focused search, compare properties from a tenant’s perspective and identify the questions to resolve before you commit.
Your investment strategy
What kind of rental investment are you planning?
Building a property portfolio
Consider how a purchase fits your existing holdings, available capital and management capacity. Compare the full acquisition cost, ongoing expenses and the implications of financing with your independent advisers.
Rental investment with occasional personal use
If you also plan to stay in the property, include those dates in your calculations. Personal stays reduce rental availability and may overlap with periods of stronger demand.
A clearer picture
Look beyond the asking price.
Assess the purchase against realistic rental assumptions and the full cost of ownership. Check the figures, permissions and practical arrangements before committing.
The full purchase budget
Allow for applicable purchase taxes, legal fees, financing costs and any furnishing or improvement work.
The cost of ownership
Review community fees, local property taxes, insurance, maintenance and management charges.
The assumptions behind rental estimates
Ask what evidence supports an estimate, what expenses it includes and how vacancy and your own stays affect the outcome.
The property itself
Arrange independent checks on legal and planning status, condition, community rules and whether your intended letting use is permitted.
Our role is to guide your property search and help you obtain relevant information. Your independent legal, tax and mortgage advisers should assess the implications for your circumstances. Rental income and future property values are not guaranteed.
Find the right setting
Different locations. Different possibilities.
Compare the exact address with your intended tenants and letting strategy. Transport, everyday services, noise, parking and year-round access can matter as much as the area name.

Before you begin
Your questions, answered.
Can I combine personal use with rental income?
That may be possible, depending on the individual property and the intended letting arrangements. Check permissions, community rules, demand and management costs before relying on income. Your own stays will also affect availability.
How should I assess potential rental returns?
Start with documented rental evidence where available and a realistic estimate of all expenses. Gross yield compares annual rental income with the purchase price. Net yield takes expenses into account; the calculation should specify which costs have been deducted and the investment amount used. Financing and tax can further affect your outcome. Any projection is an estimate, not a promise.
Should I consider a new development or a resale property?
The right choice depends on the specific property and your timing. Compare payment commitments, delivery risk, condition, established running costs and any work needed before occupation or letting.
Can you help if I live abroad?
Yes. We can help organise your search, viewings and communication from abroad. Your independent lawyer can explain the documents and representation arrangements required for your purchase.
What support is available after completion?
Our Beyond the Keys service offers personal support after your purchase. Tell us what you need, and we can discuss suitable assistance and introductions. Availability, scope and any provider fees should be confirmed separately.
