General Information

How to find accommodation (Spain)
 
In Spain people tend to buy rather than rent, which means that available rented flats and houses are somewhat thin on the ground and therefore it can be hard to find cheap accommodation. If you intend to stay for quite a long time, buying a flat may end up costing less than renting one. Moreover, there is no state-funded system, just the private sector.

You can find accommodation through property agencies, through adverts in several national newspapers and specialised press, or else through notices stuck on doorways and balconies.

You should also bear in mind that both tenants and homeowners have to pay monthly service fees and the costs of maintaining shared areas (e.g. caretaker, central heating, garden, swimming pool, garages).
