| 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).
