Property Supplement CDS 30 Oct – 5 Nov 2025 Issue 2104
Sunny outlook
THE Costa del Sol’s property scene is set to end 2025 on a high, with demand showing no signs of cooling. The latest Tinsa figures reveal the Malaga Province enjoyed a healthy 15 per cent annual rise in home values during the third quarter of the year, an important sign of confidence in the market rather than inflated prices.
Buyers from across Europe continue
to see the Costa del Sol as the ideal destination for both lifestyle and longterm security. Sunshine, excellent transport links and a thriving cultural scene make it one of the most liveable provinces for expats, and with Spain’s digital nomad visa still attracting professionals from abroad, the international community keeps on growing.
Estate agents report a steady flow
of overseas interest, particularly along the Costa del Sol and in the Axarquía region. Rental demand remains strong too, giving reassurance to those planning to split their time between Spain and abroad.
Property analysts predict moderate growth of around 4 to 5 per cent in 2026, suggesting the market will remain buoyant yet sustainable. That’s welco-
me news for homebuyers seeking value and stability rather than quick profits. Whether it’s a sun-soaked apartment overlooking the coast or a quiet townhouse inland, Malaga’s mix of Mediterranean charm, modern infrastructure and international spirit continues to make it one of Spain’s brightest property hotspots, and a place expats are proud to call home.

SPAIN remains one of Europe’s most popular property destinations, but buying here comes with its own set of rules. For foreigners, the first step is securing an NIE (foreigner ID number), essential for deeds, taxes and utilities.

lose it; if the seller pulls out, they must refund double. Mortgages are available to non-residents but usually capped at 60-70 per cent loan-to-value with shorter terms and stricter requirements. Completion always happens before a notary, who formalises the deed and ensures legality.
After purchase, buyers must register the property, switch utilities, arrange insurance and pay ongoing costs like council tax (IBI), community fees and annual non-resident income tax
Owning a property does not grant residency; non-EU nationals are still bound by the 90/180-day Schengen rule unless they obtain a visa, such as the non-lucrative or digital-nomad visa.
A MAJOR shift is now underway on the Costa del Sol. As from April 2025, Spanish law grants homeowner communities (comunidades de vecinos) the legal right to approve or block short-term rentals within their buildings. This marks a turning point not just for landlords - but also for property buyers and sellers.
For owners considering a sale, this legal update may directly affect buyer interest and property value. A unit that previously functioned as a lucrative holiday let may now face restrictions imposed by the community. Buyers will want certainty, and clear documentation on the property’s rental eligibility will become a key sales factor. On the buying side, investors must do their homework. The new law requires 60 per cent community approval to obtain a short-term rental licence. Even if a property looks ideal, lack of support within the building could block its income potential. Understanding a community’s current rules - and

attitudes - is now as important as location and price.
Additionally, a new national registry is also mandatory from July 2025, and properties will need to publicly display their rental licence. This increases transparency - but also accountability. Buyers should ensure that any
ONE of the great joys of life in Spain is living outdoors. Whether you’re sipping coffee on a sunny balcony or hosting friends on your terrace, your exterior space becomes an extension of your home and lifestyle. With more than 300 days of sunshine a year, even the smallest corner can become a slice of Mediterranean paradise.
So, whether you’ve got a city apartment with a Juliet balcony or a sprawling finca garden, here’s how to make the most of it - Spanish style.
Think of your outdoor space as a room In Spain, terraces and gardens are as vital as living rooms. Define your space’s purpose - dining, lounging, gardening, or all three - then design around it. Use layout, colour and comfort to guide you: an outdoor rug zones a dining area, while pots or hedges divide larger gardens into inviting ‘rooms’.

Patios and courtyards thrive on texture - tiled floors, low rattan seating and citrus trees in terracotta pots. A trickling fountain adds tranquillity.
Terraces suit multi-purpose living: dining beneath a pergola, lounging under olive trees, and glowing string lights for magical evenings.
In large gardens, create pockets of paradise - hammocks, shaded reading nooks or pergola-draped dining spots - linked by gravel paths and native plants like lavender, rosemary and succulents.
Shade, light and greenery
A parasol, awning or pergola covered in bougainvillaea provides essential shade. Hardy plants - olives, lavender, citrus and bougainvillaea - thrive with little water. Layer lighting for atmosphere: wall sconces for structure, lanterns and fairy lights for warmth. Make it personal
Spanish life celebrates togetherness. Invest in comfortable seating, add colourful ceramics and outdoor rugs, and make it a space you’ll linger in daily - from morning coffee to midnight wine.

Legal considerations when buying property in Spain
IF you’re considering purchasing a property in Spain, whether it’s for holidays, rental income, or for permanent relocation, it’s essential to consider all the legal requirements of your purchase before committing.
Get an independent lawyer
One of the first things you should do is hire an independent Spanish property lawyer (abogado) who is not tied to the seller or the real estate agency.
A good one will examine contracts, deeds, and local regulations to ensure you know exactly what you’re signing. If you’re not in Spain during parts of the process, you can often arrange a power of attorney, so your lawyer can act on your behalf.
Residency & tax status
Who you are and how long you stay in Spain affect much more than lifestyle. EU citizens
have more freedom, while nonEU citizens (including many UK nationals since Brexit) need to check visas or residency permits if they plan to live here permanently.
Residency status ties directly to your tax obligations. If you live in Spain for over 183 days per year, you’re likely a tax resident and may be liable for tax on worldwide income. If not, then usually only income sourced in Spain is taxed.
Title, ownership & local rules
Before committing to a purchase, you must check the Land Registry to ensure the seller is the legal owner and that the property is free of debts or mortgages. Also, make sure the boundaries and land status are correct.
Some lands are ‘urbano’ (urban) and buildable. Others are
‘rústico’ and may be rural or restricted.
If any renovations or alterations have already been done, ensure the correct planning permissions are in place. These local rules vary a lot by region and municipality.
Taxes & ongoing legal costs
Expect certain taxes when you buy: transfer tax (ITP) for resale properties, and VAT (IVA)
and stamp duty for new builds. After buying, you’ll also want to budget for ongoing taxes, such as local property tax (IBI), wealth tax in some cases, and potential taxes on rental income if you let the property. All
ge in Spain, legal advice is vital. Mortgage contracts can contain complicated terms, and it’s crucial to understand your obligations. Also, there are strict rules about how payments must be made, especially for large sums - traceability, source of funds documentation, and working via regulated channels are all essential.
Considering your transfer options
While dealing with the legal requirements when buying a house in Spain can be a hassle, transferring the funds to cover your purchase doesn’t need to be.
With Currencies Direct, you’ll

IN Spain’s increasingly urbanised cities, the patio remains a cherished refuge, a space that connects architecture, culture, and well-being. For expats settling in Spain, understanding this traditional feature is key to embracing the Mediterranean lifestyle and local rhythms.
Historically rooted in Roman and Islamic architecture, patios have long served as cool, airy spaces for light, rest, and social life.
In Andalucia, they are the heart of the home, surrounded by tiles, plants, and water features that invite tranquillity and conversation. In modern Spain, as living spaces shrink, the patio has evolved into rooftop terraces, inner

courtyards, and shared gardens, offering city dwellers a link to nature and community.
For expatriates, even a small balcony can be transformed into a ‘mini-patio’ with greenery, colourful ceramics, and cosy seating. These spaces promote well-being by reducing stress and encouraging outdoor living, vital for those adapting to a new environment.
Decorating tips include using Mediterranean plants like lavender and bougainvillea, adding mosaic tiles, creating shade with awnings, and mixing rustic and modern furnishings. Flea markets and local artisans offer authentic Spanish pieces that bring character and charm.
Time for an Upgrade: Preparing Spain’s
outdoor structures for winter
AFTER a bustling summer season across Spain’s beaches and resorts, many outdoor structures are showing the effects of sun, salt, and heavy use. As the quieter winter months approach, now is the ideal time for property owners and hospitality businesses to invest in maintenance and upgrades - especially for natural timber and thatch installations.
From rustic chiringuitos to elegant beach umbrellas and pergolas, structures made from natural materials require regular care to ensure longevity and safety. Exposure to the elements can lead to wear, moisture damage, and fading, which, if left untreated, can compromise both aesthetics and structural integrity.
Cape Reed SL, a specialist in sustainable timber and thatch construction, is encouraging property owners to take advantage of the off-
season to refurbish and restore their outdoor features. Additionally, they offer a five-year guarantee on their maintenance work, giving clients peace of mind and longterm value.
“Preventative maintenance not only protects your investment but also enhances the beauty and lifespan of natural materials,” says John, Sales & Marketing Manager for Cape Reed SL. “The winter slowdown offers the perfect opportunity to prepare for another busy summer.”
With timely upkeep, Spain’s signature shaded spaces will be ready to welcome the sun once again next season.

Across Spain and the UK, more homeowners and expats are turning to second-hand markets and online platforms to create homes that feel personal and full of character.

cond-hand furnishings and the original terrazzo floor. Each piece told a story, creating a layered, lived-in aesthetic that new furniture simply can’t replicate. This movement is also driven by environmental awareness. Choosing second-hand reduces waste, lowers carbon footprints, and supports more mindful consumption. It’s a stylish, sustainable alternative to fast furniture.
Beyond ethics, it’s about expression. Vintage pieces allow homeowners to mix eras, materials, and styles for a bespoke look, while creative up-cycling gives old furniture new life. Scuffs and imperfections are no longer flaws, they’re features that add warmth and authenticity.
Property as retirement plan
FOR many expats, Spain’s sunshine, relaxed lifestyle, and rich culture make it an ideal place to retire. Yet, with pensions under strain and living costs on the rise across Europe, financial stability has become a key concern. Increasingly, experts view property ownership as one of the most effective ways for retirees abroad to safeguard their future.
Owning a home offers both security and flexibility, acting as a ‘personal pension plan’. Unlike renting, property provides a stable base and the potential for long-term appreciation in value. In popular regions such as the Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol, and the Balearic Islands, housing prices have historically remained resilient, making real estate an attractive hedge against inflation and rising rents.

Over time, homeowners build equity, effectively turning mortgage payments into savings.

For many expatriates, renting out their property part-time offers a sustainable way to supplement retirement income while maintaining ownership of a valuable asset.
