Property Selection Guide
Find Your Perfect Spanish Home
The difference between a good investment and a costly mistake often comes down to five factors most buyers overlook.
Orientation
Floor Level
Property Type
Location
Rental Potential
Factor 1 of 5
Sun Orientation
Which direction your property faces determines your quality of life, heating costs, and resale value. Most buyers don't check until it's too late.
Factor 2 of 5
Floor Level
In apartment buildings, floor level affects views, noise, accessibility, and resale value. Ground floor units are 10-15% cheaper—but there are trade-offs.
Ground Floor
Private garden, no stairs, easy access. Less privacy, potential humidity. Best for families with children.
Middle Floors
Best balance: good views, less noise, decent accessibility. Most popular for rentals.
Penthouse
Best views, large terraces, maximum privacy. Premium pricing. Hottest in summer.
Factor 3 of 5
Property Type
Your choice should match your lifestyle and intended use. Each type has distinct advantages for personal use versus rental income.

Villa
Factor 4 of 5
Location Character
A bustling July resort may feel abandoned in February. Consider how the area changes between seasons before you buy.
Factor 5 of 5
Rental Potential
If rental income is part of your plan, run the numbers before you buy—not after. Some areas have stopped issuing new tourist licenses entirely.
Coastal properties typically achieve 15-25 weeks occupancy. Premium rates in July-August, minimal bookings November-February. Always verify the property has a tourist license during due diligence.
