Frequently asked questions about the Spanish regions
How do property purchase taxes (ITP) vary across different regions in Spain?+
Transfer Tax (Impuesto sobre Transmisiones Patrimoniales or ITP) is set by each autonomous region and generally ranges between 6% and 10%. For example, Madrid charges 6%, Costa Blanca (Valencia region) charges 10%, while Andalusia (Costa del Sol) charges a flat 7%.
Which region in Spain offers the best holiday rental yields?+
Regions with lower property acquisition costs and year-round tourism, such as Costa Cálida, Costa Blanca South, and the Canary Islands, typically generate the highest gross rental yields (often between 6% and 9%).
Where are the most popular regions for Dutch and international buyers?+
The Costa Blanca (both South and North) and Costa del Sol are the most popular choices due to direct flight connections from Northern Europe, established international communities, excellent healthcare, and over 300 days of sunshine per year.
Do tourist license rules differ by municipality and region?+
Yes. Tourist rental licenses (Licencias Turísticas) and national registrations (like NRUA) are regulated regionally and municipally. Some areas (like central Barcelona or Palma de Mallorca) have strict moratoriums, whereas many coastal municipalities in Costa Blanca and Costa Cálida still issue new licenses. We verify licensing viability for every property.
Can your team guide viewings across multiple regions?+
Yes. We assist buyers across all major coastal areas in Spain. If you are debating between two neighboring regions (such as Costa Blanca South vs. Costa Cálida), we can arrange a multi-region viewing tour so you can compare neighborhoods firsthand.
