Viewing a Flat to Rent in Spain
Book a viewing, ask the right questions and negotiate the conditions for a rental flat in Spain.
Rental flats in Spain move fast: you find them on portals, call the agency, and often view with other people interested. Landlords ask for a fianza of one month plus extra garantía, and proof of income like nóminas. An exterior flat has windows onto the street, gastos de comunidad are the building fees, and suministros (electricity, water, gas) usually go on top. The cards follow a flat hunt in Bilbao, from the first call to deciding.
