1. Get Ahead with References and Financial Preparation:
Imagine having all your references and financial documents ready before you even start your property search. By taking this proactive approach, you’ll set yourself apart from other potential tenants. We have seen many cases where our clients have lost out in renting their dream property because someone else had their references ready prior to organising property viewings. Therefore, we find it an imperative step to take before even searching for available rentals. Additionally, it’s important to consider the upfront payment requirements when renting a property in Marbella. During the high season, typically the summer months, property owners often request a larger upfront payment, ranging from 6 to 12 months’ rent, or a higher deposit. However, there is an alternative option available. You can choose to obtain a client guarantee certificate, which acts as a monthly insurance paid by the tenant. This certificate serves as protection in case you prefer not to or are unable to pay such a substantial amount of money upfront. It provides peace of mind for both the tenant and the landlord, ensuring a smooth rental process and allowing you to enjoy your new home without unnecessary financial burden. In order to get this insurance, and in general to rent any property out in Spain, if you are a non-spanish resident, you will be required to provide an NIE number and a Spanish bank account. With your financial situation sorted, you’ll be well-equipped to make quick decisions and seize opportunities as they arise.
2. Dive into the Property Search:
Now that you’ve completed your preparations, it’s time to embark on an exciting quest to find your dream rental home. If you choose to work with an agent or agency, we highly recommend selecting a single agent with experience to assist you throughout the process. By doing so, you can save valuable time and energy. Rather than having to explain your requirements repeatedly to different agents, your chosen agent will be able to show you all of your selected options. They will know exactly what you’re looking for and coordinate viewings with various owners and collaborators in a well-structured schedule, streamlining your property search and ensuring an enjoyable experience. Marbella presents a wide range of possibilities that will undoubtedly ignite your imagination and leave you inspired throughout your search.
3. Property Viewings:
Embark on an exciting journey of property viewings and find your dream property. Envision yourself stepping into these remarkable properties, allowing your imagination to roam freely and envision the wonderful life you will create in your new home. With each property viewing, you move closer to finding your perfect sanctuary in Marbella. Again, if working with an agency your agent will book a day full of viewings for you based around your availability and property selections.
4. Act Swiftly to Secure Your Dream Home:
Here’s where the real excitement begins! Picture yourself standing in front of the property you’ve fallen in love with. The excitement builds as you realize this is the one, the place feels like home. Now, It’s crucial to take decisive action. Due to the fact that Marbella’s rental market is very active, there is a waiting list for certain property types. In general, there is more demand than supply. In the recent year, we have noticed properties can be rented out within minutes of being launched to the market. Therefore, if you have decided to proceed with a particular property, it is recommended to reserve it immediately. Notify the landlord or property manager of your intent and initiate the rental contract process without delay.
5. Your Luxurious Life Awaits in Marbella:
As you finalise the rental contract and prepare to move into your dream home, a world of luxury and splendour awaits you in Marbella. Now you are living the dream, you can enjoy the vibrant lifestyle, the sun-drenched beaches, the exquisite dining experiences, and the glamorous atmosphere that will surround you.
