Is this price fair

We can’t put a fair range on this one yet.

Too few similar homes are on sale nearby to compare it with fairly. We would rather say nothing than guess.

If you rented it out

Two different things get called rent in Spain.

Asking rent is what landlords advertise today. Declared rent is what tenants report for tax, and it reaches the statistics about two years later. Declared runs lower; the yield here is on asking.

The rental numbers come with the search pass.

Asking rent, yield, running costs and the five-year view for this home.

Room to negotiate

Most sellers here don’t cut.

We watch every home in Aravaca until it stops being advertised, and record each price change on the way. Most leave at the price they started with.

A home disappearing usually means it sold. It can also mean the owner gave up or changed agency, and some agencies never take listings down at all. We cannot tell those apart, so we will not show you a sale price we did not see.

Who buys in this district

Who buys here, and how they hold it.

Spain’s land registry publishes who completes purchases, by district: where buyers come from, and whether they buy through a company. Names are never included.

BuyersAravaca district

Who buys in Aravaca: official figures are on their way.

Coming

  • Buyers from outside Spain
  • Buying through a company
  • How long owners keep a home

Nothing here is estimated. Each figure appears once it is loaded from its source and checked. Buyer figures are published for the whole district, never for a single street or home.

Asking rents of the homes we track. Declared rents come from tax returns and run about two years behind.

No grade for mortgage defaults or squatting (okupación), on purpose. Spain publishes both only for the whole province, so an Aravaca grade would be invented precision.

The building itself

What the advert says about the building, and how to check it.

Spain’s land registry (the Catastro) records every building’s size, age and use. The first two figures are the agency’s; pull the building’s own record below to check them.

Get the building’s Catastro record

Type the street address from the viewing, or the 20-character cadastral reference from the IBI bill. We look it up in the Catastro and set it against the advert. Free.

Things that would change the deal

Spanish situations that catch foreign buyers out.

None of these are unusual in Spain, and none of them are visible in a photo. Each one changes what you are actually buying.

  • Sold with a tenant already in it

    Vendido con inquilino. You inherit their contract — in Spain that can run five more years at the rent they already pay.

    Ask the agency
  • You buy it, the seller keeps living in it

    Nuda propiedad, literally “bare ownership”. You own the home but cannot use or let it until the seller dies. Prices look like a bargain for this reason.

    Ask the agency
  • Someone is living there without permission

    Okupas. Removing them goes through the courts and can take well over a year.

    Ask the agency
  • Being sold at auction

    Subasta. You usually cannot view it first, and you may take on the previous owner’s debts on the property.

    Ask the agency
  • No first-occupancy licence

    Sin licencia de primera ocupación. The building cannot legally be lived in yet, which also means most banks will not lend on it.

    Ask the agency
  • Tourist lets in this district

    Vivienda de uso turístico (a licensed tourist flat). The city’s Plan Especial de Hospedaje restricts new ones in parts of this district.

    Partly restricted

We do not yet read listings for these. Ask the agency before you offer; your lawyer confirms each one in the nota simple (the land-registry extract).

None of this tells you whether to buy it.

It tells you what to ask, what to budget, and what a fair number looks like. The verified agent can tell you the rest.
