SPAIN VILLA RENTAL
Your Villa in Spain
by Robert Carlton
Villas in the Costa Blanca region of Spain have become very popular
because this is a lovely spot for a vacation, with the added advantage
that, when you are not using it yourself, you can rent it out. A good real
estate agent can help you find a villa that will be a good investment
over time. If you know people who own villas in Costa Blanca, find out
which real estate agent does the best job.
When you rent out your villa during the busy holiday season, you can
receive a good income from it. The income you receive will depend
upon the size and location of the villa, as well as any amenities you
offer.
The summer months of June through September are the months that
are most popular for renters. You could probably rent out your villa
continuously during this period, if you advertise it properly in the
proper markets.
You can even ask for and receive higher rates of rent during the peak
periods of July and August, and over the Christmas and Easter
holidays. There are so many festivals and attractions in the Costa
Blanca that there is always demand for rentals during these seasons,
even among the non beach goers.
Over the winter months, your villa does not have to lie idle, because
many people from northern Europe would welcome a break from their
dismal weather and retreat to this mild climate. You may even be able
to rent it out for an extended period, since some retirees like to get
away for a while in the cold weather. The winter months do not
command the same high rates as the summer months, but at least
you will still receive an income on your property.
How do you find a Costa Blanca Villa? Consider the old real estate
adage, location, location, location. Pick a popular tourist location that
is close to beaches, transportation, restaurants, shopping, night life
and attractions. These villas will be more expensive, but you will rent
them for a higher rate and therefore worth the initial higher investment.
To compete with other villas in the area, you may have to offer special
amenities such as maid service, a pool or tennis court and other such
items. You will also have to decorate your villa tastefully and keep it
well maintained. This is another item where putting money into your
investment will pay off. Most owners advertise with photos, and you
want to be able to display a beautiful villa, well decorated and in top
condition. Location will also be an important consideration when the
time comes and you decide to sell your villa. A villa located in one of
the popular tourist areas will be a lot easier to sell. Get to know the
areas so you can see which ones are becoming more popular, so
you can be sure that your villa will only increase in value.
