Good to know
- Gross yield divides annual rent by the price; net yield divides net income (after running costs) by the total invested — the more honest number.
- Long-term lets are taxed differently from tourist lets, which need a licence in many municipalities.
- On a flip, capital gains tax (19% for EU/EEA non-residents) applies to the gain, and short holding periods leave little room for error on the resale price.
- Renovation invoices are deductible against the gain — keep them.
Estimates only, for planning. Not financial, tax or legal advice. Yields, costs and resale values vary widely with the property, area and market; CGT depends on your circumstances. Always confirm with your adviser. Source basis: typical Costa del Sol market parameters & Spanish tax rates 2026.
