Detached house in Calle San José, 8, Maro - Cuevas de Nerja, Nerja

Licence regime in this region

Andalucía VFT: registration is via the Registro de Turismo de Andalucía. New STR can be blocked by the community of owners (2024 reform) and saturated Costa del Sol zones are tightening — verify the VFT registration and any municipal limits with the agency.

The listing states no licence, and no licence on the regional register sits within 50 m of its exact pin. Under Andalusia’s VUT registration (open in most municipalities), obtaining one is the buyer’s task.

A register hit means a licence exists at this location, not that it transfers with the sale: have a Spanish lawyer verify the transfer clause in the deed, the licence’s current status and the municipality’s renewal position before you commit.

After-tax basis: net yield is after Spain's non-resident rental income tax, modelled at the non-EU 24% rate on net profit (EU/EEA residents pay 19%). Assumes deductible STR expenses — standard for EU/EEA owners and, per recent rulings, available to non-EU owners; confirm with a Spanish tax adviser. Holiday lets don't qualify for the 60% long-term-rental reduction.
