Detached house in Calle Orfebres, Riviera del Sol, Mijas

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 its pin is not precise enough to check the register by location. Under Andalusia’s VUT registration (open in most municipalities), ask the agency for the number before underwriting STR income.

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.
