Over the last few years you will have seen a dramatic increase in the amount of new construction on the Costa del Sol. The vast majority of these new homes are being sold as investment opportunities with both a capital and rental return.

This together with Spain converting to the Euro has led to a fall in occupancy rates as holiday makers have more choice than ever before in Spain and are also exploring other countries that have yet to adopt the Euro such as Turkey and Cyprus where sterling buys so much more. As a result rental prices also generally appear to be flattening out with no increases from last year.

Personally speaking I have rented properties in Spain for many years and I have noticed that it has become increasingly difficult in recent years to find a property that suits my requirements, not because there aren’t any but because there are too many!

The advent of the internet has made advertising holiday homes far more accessible to the owner and homeowner portals are filled with properties to rent, but ironically this has brought its own problems.

Potential customers now have too much information, too many properties to look at. Your property has become one of many and there is only a small probability that a customer will find your property, with approximately 50% of properties built on the Costa del Sol being sold to UK purchasers this means every year more and more properties are being advertised for rent, in short the available properties are rising whilst the number of holiday makers is reducing

Some of you may be using the services of an Estate Agent who offer rental facilities in an attempt to market your investment more actively. In general the services they provide are not up to UK standards as they are more focused on selling homes where their return is much higher rather than rentals where the return is substantially less for the time, cost and effort involved.

Just take a look at the amount of advertising they offer for your property and their target market. I am sure you have your own opinions about their value.
