Valencia combines relatively accessible entry prices with consistent rental demand and growing international interest. It attracts long-term residents, professionals, students, and remote workers, which helps support a stable rental market rather than short-term speculation.
Current data suggests that by early 2026, average rental prices may reach around €19 per square metre. Well-located properties typically achieve monthly rents of approximately €1,150 for one-bedroom apartments and €2,000 or more for two-bedroom units, depending on condition and location.
For buyers looking to hold property over time, Valencia offers a balance of usability, rental demand, and long-term value rather than reliance on short-term market swings.
Buying property in Valencia from abroad can feel overwhelming — unclear pricing, legal uncertainty, and pressure to move fast on homes that may not suit your long-term goals. Two similar-looking properties can differ significantly in true market value, rental potential, and legal status, and without local insight, costly mistakes are easy to make.
At Homely, we bring structure and clarity to the entire process. Combining local market knowledge, data-led analysis, and hands-on coordination from first search to keys in hand, we help you make confident, informed decisions — always acting in your best interest.
Homely works as a buyer’s agent — sometimes referred to in Spain as a personal shopper. This means we represent only the buyer, not the seller. Unlike traditional agencies that focus on selling listings, our responsibility is to:
protect your interests
assess pricing independently
flag risks early
guide negotiations strategically
You gain a local partner who is fully aligned with your goals, timing, and long-term plans.

A married couple from abroad wanted to invest part of their savings in a stable European property market. However, with no Spanish language skills, no local network and limited time in Valencia, navigating the process alone carried significant risks.
The Homely Team prepared the visit in advance, conducting market research and organising 8 targeted property viewings. After identifying the right apartment, we structured a data-backed offer that was successfully accepted
Within 7 days the buyers signed the Contrato de Arras, and the purchase was later completed at the notary. The property is now being prepared for long-term rental and managed by Homely.
Purchase price: €81,500
Additional costs: approx €24,150

With part of their family already living in Valencia, the buyers wanted a property that would allow them to visit regularly and spend more time together in Spain. They were looking for a well-located apartment but most options in these areas required renovation.
With Homely’s support, the buyers identified a property in a prime location between the beach and the city centre. The apartment had strong potential but required refurbishment, so we coordinated a local renovation partner to transform the space and maximise its value.
The property was successfully renovated and turned into a comfortable family base in Valencia. Thanks to the strategic location and refurbishment, the investment also delivered strong capital growth over time.
Purchase price: €225,000
Additional costs: approx €34,600

A married couple from Poland wanted to diversify their savings and protect their capital amid growing geopolitical uncertainty in the region. Purchasing remotely, with no local network, in a fast-moving market where good apartments often sell within hours made securing the right property particularly challenging.
With Homely’s support, the buyers shortlisted suitable properties and used local viewings and fast communication to act quickly when the right opportunity appeared.
The couple successfully completed the purchase, fulfilling their dream of owning a home in Spain while securing a stable asset for their future.

FAQs
Can foreigners buy property in Spain?
Yes. There are no restrictions on foreigners buying property in Spain. You will need a NIE number and legal representation.
Do I need to be in Spain to buy property?
No. Many purchases are completed remotely with a power of attorney. We coordinate the process locally on your behalf.
What is the Contrato de Arras?
It is a reservation contract used in Spain after an offer is accepted. It sets out the terms and timeline before completion at the notary.
How long does the buying process take?
From offer acceptance to notary, purchases typically take 6–10 weeks, depending on legal checks and financing.
What are the total buying costs in Valencia?
Buyers should typically budget around 14–15% of the purchase price for taxes and associated costs, depending on the property and circumstances.
Do I need a lawyer to buy property in Spain?
While not legally required, legal representation is strongly recommended. We work closely with trusted local lawyers to ensure the process is secure.
Do I have to be present at every stage of the purchasing process?
Not necessarily. With a power of attorney, most steps—including paperwork and even the purchase—can be handled by us or your legal representative without you being in Spain. That said, we recommend a short visit if possible. It’s helpful for exploring neighborhoods, attending viewings, and taking care of things like opening a bank account or getting your NIE (Foreigner Identification Number). While optional, it can make the process smoother.

How does Homely’s pricing work, and when do I pay?
At Homely, we believe in fair, transparent pricing. Most of our clients choose the Smart Buyer Promise, where you pay a small initial fee to get started, and the majority of our fee is only due if and when you successfully purchase a property. We also offer fixed-fee packages for those who prefer upfront pricing. We’ll always explain the full costs before you commit — no surprises, no hidden fees.
What’s the timeframe from consultation to purchase?
On average, from a few weeks to a few months — depending on the strategy and type of property.
What’s the minimum budget I should consider to invest in Valencia?
It depends on your strategy. Rental-focused flats usually start around €200,000, while higher-end flip projects can require more. During your consultation, we’ll tailor recommendations based on your goals and capital.
Can I get a mortgage in Spain as a foreigner?
Yes, many non-residents successfully secure mortgages here. We work closely with mortgage brokers who specialize in non-resident financing and can assess your eligibility based on your profile and investment plan.
I’ve heard about “okupas” in Spain—should I be worried?
It’s a common concern, but illegal occupation is rare in well-managed, legal properties. We only recommend secure areas and properties with proper legal protection, and we advise on extra safeguards like alarm systems, insurance, and the right rental agreements.
