Asking rents are for homes advertised today. What tenants pay on existing leases comes from tax returns, runs about two years behind and is usually lower.

No grade for mortgage defaults or homes occupied without a lease (ocupación), on purpose. Spain publishes both only for the whole province, so a Centro 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.

—lift not statednot stated in the listing

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 a lease

    Vivienda ocupada. Resolving it goes through the courts and can take more than a year. Ask the agency whether the home is empty.

    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
  • A big repair bill on the way

    Derrama (a one-off levy the building charges owners for big repairs, such as a new lift or facade). Ask for the last three years of owners’ meeting minutes (actas de la comunidad) to see what has been agreed.

    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 this district.

    Restricted here

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.
