Do you want to rent out your apartment in Barcelona?

If you’re looking for a company specialized in rental management in Barcelona or its Metropolitan Area, you’re in the right place. We take care of the entire process—from promoting your property to collecting rent and handling any issues that may arise.

Our team of real estate experts has managed over 1,000 rental agreements in recent years, not only in Barcelona but also in Sant Cugat, Cerdanyola, L’Hospitalet, Badalona, Santa Coloma, Sabadell, and more.

Barcelona’s Metropolitan Area is known for its dynamic and diverse rental market, with an increasing number of foreign residents, including migrants, expatriates, and tourists. Because of this, having in-depth knowledge of the distinctive characteristics of different municipalities and the specific needs of each tenant profile is crucial.

Our goal is to ensure that—by understanding your property’s features, the local market, and the target audience—you achieve the best possible financial return while receiving a professional and transparent service.

How we will rent out your apartment

Property valuation

We start with a detailed valuation of your apartment in Barcelona. A local expert will visit your property to assess its specific characteristics. This valuation allows us to determine the right rental price, attracting potential tenants while always considering your preferences.

Listing on top platforms

Once we’ve set the rental price, we take care of promoting your apartment in Barcelona using digital marketing strategies to maximize its visibility. First, we arrange a professional photoshoot. For Barcelona listings, we prioritize portals like Habitaclia due to its strong presence in Catalonia.

Tenant selection

We carry out a rigorous screening process to find the ideal tenant for your apartment in Barcelona. This includes carefully reviewing applications and supporting documents, verifying financial solvency, checking for any outstanding debts, and conducting personal interviews to assess suitability.

Contract signing

We draft the rental contract on your behalf, ensuring it complies with national and Catalan regulations while protecting your rights as a landlord. The contract includes a detailed inventory to facilitate any claims for damages at the end of the lease. For convenience, it is signed digitally. Once finalized, we deposit the legally required security deposit with Incasòl and handle the transfer of utility accounts, including local water providers such as Aigües de Barcelona and Sorea.

Administrative and issue management

After handing over the keys, we continue to support both tenants and landlords while maintaining their privacy. This means no unexpected or inconvenient calls for you. We manage rent collection and, if necessary, initiate debt recovery procedures. Additionally, we take care of any necessary repairs, ensuring you remain in control and approve all budgets.

Ongoing updates

We maintain open and efficient communication with you. You will be kept informed of any issues, rental payments, and other relevant matters regarding your apartment in Barcelona. We always request your approval before making any decisions and are available to answer any questions you may have.

Rental price trends in Barcelona

Barcelona is a constantly evolving city that has seen significant growth in rental demand due to tourism and an increasing number of digital nomads, alongside a decrease in available properties. This has led to a sharp rise in rental prices.

As of October 2023, the average rental price per square meter in Barcelona reached €17.5/m², reflecting a 16.2% increase compared to the same period last year (Source: Idealista, 2023). This rise—significantly higher than in other cities—may have been influenced by stricter rental regulations, which have likely contributed to a reduction in supply.

Some of the most affordable districts for renting include Nou Barris (€13.1/m²), Sant Andreu (€13.4/m²), and Sants-Montjuïc (€15.9/m²). These areas also offer the highest gross rental yields in Barcelona, averaging around 6.0%.

In contrast, the lowest rental yields—around 4%—are found in some of the city’s most expensive districts, such as Eixample (€18.7/m²) and Sarrià–Sant Gervasi (€17.9/m²).

This upward trend in prices presents an excellent opportunity for property owners looking to rent out their apartments, as they can secure attractive returns while benefiting from the appreciation of their assets.

Secure rental in Barcelona: The perfect guarantee for your property

For even greater peace of mind, we offer our secure rental service. With this service, we guarantee that you will receive your rent payment on the 3rd of each month—no matter what—while also protecting your property against potential tenant-related damages.

With our guaranteed rental plan, you can rest assured that you’ll receive your rent every month, even if the tenant delays or fails to pay. This allows you to cover fixed expenses, such as mortgage payments, family care costs, or other financial commitments, without worry.

What are the legal requirements and necessary documentation to rent out my apartment in Barcelona?

Some of the required documents for renting out a property include the certificate of occupancy and the energy efficiency certificate. To sign a management contract, we will also need the identity document of the owners or usufructuaries, as well as proof of ownership—such as the deed of sale or a property registry extract. If the contract is signed by a representative, we will also require the power of attorney or any document confirming their legal capacity to act on behalf of the owner. Our team will guide you through all the requirements and assist you in gathering the necessary documentation.

We use various strategies to ensure we find the right tenants.
