2026-05-30

If you are looking for a home for a longer stay on the Costa del Sol, explain the expected duration and intended use from the start. Availability and terms must be confirmed for each property.
Explain your dates and needs
Say when you want to move in, how long you expect to stay and whether you need furniture, parking, workspace or permission for pets. Also explain which services and journeys matter to you. This helps rule out unsuitable options.
Calculate the full budget
Ask what the rent includes and which costs are separate. Request a breakdown of initial and recurring payments and the applicable terms. Always confirm whether the advertised price is per month, per week or for another period.
Prepare your enquiry and documents
Our team will explain which documents the owner requests to assess the rental. Clarify how they will be submitted and used. Before committing, review the proposed contract's duration, handover, inventory and maintenance responsibilities.
A viewing should also let you check light, noise, installations and the condition of the furniture. Note outstanding questions and get answers before deciding.
