Is this rent fair?

A typical rent for similar flats in Retiro.

We compared it with the 14 two-bedroom flats closest in size (76–132 m²) advertised to rent long-term in Retiro. Typical means inside the middle half of their rents. Asking rents, not signed leases, and not a fair-rent calculation.

Per m², against the same flats

€28.7 per m²

The middle of the 14 similar flats is €38 per m² a month.

What tenants pay on existing leases (2024)

€16.0 per m²

Retiro, per m² a month, from tax returns. Leases signed over past years run lower than asking rents today, so this is context, not a verdict on this flat.

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 Retiro 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.
