What to Do If You Have an Empty Flat and Don’t Know Where to Start

Not sure what to do with your empty flat in Valencia? This step-by-step guide helps you explore your options and turn your property into income—without the stress.

Because leaving a flat sitting empty is like keeping a bike in storage—it loses value every day you don’t use it.

“It’s just sitting there... and I don’t know whether to rent it, sell it, or what to do.”

We hear this all the time.

If you have a vacant property and don’t know where to start, here’s the first thing you need to know:
You’re not alone. And you don’t have to decide everything today.

We’re here to help you get clarity.

Step 1: Understand your options

Leaving a property empty might seem like the safest choice, but in reality it means:

  • Fixed monthly expenses (property tax, community fees, maintenance)

  • Risk of deterioration—or worse, squatters

  • Missed opportunity to generate consistent income

The first thing is to evaluate whether your flat is better suited for:

  • Selling

  • Long-term rental

  • Mid-term/seasonal rental

  • Tourist rental (if you have a license)

Not every option is right for every flat. We’ll help you make sense of it all.

Step 2: Calculate what you could be earning

What if that empty flat could be bringing in €800, €1,000, or even €1,400 per month?

We calculate this with you, using real figures based on your area, property size, and type of rental—
No hype, no false promises. Just clear data.

Step 3: See what’s missing (and what you don’t need to touch)

Most flats don’t need a big renovation to be rented successfully.
Often, all it takes is:

  • A deep clean

  • A fresh coat of paint

  • Fixing a few small things

  • Or renting it as-is if it’s well maintained

Don’t invest blindly. Ask us first—we’ll tell you what’s worth doing and what’s not.

Step 4: Choose a plan (together)

We won’t make the decisions for you.
We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option and help you decide:

  • What kind of rental fits your situation best

  • What documents you need

  • What steps to take—and in what order

“But I don’t have time for all this…”

That’s exactly what we’re here for.

We handle the whole process for you:
From valuation to key handover, from listing to tenant finding — we manage every step with precision, transparency, and care.

You don’t have to do this alone

Owning a vacant flat doesn’t have to be a mental burden.
Message us and tell us about your situation—no pressure, no commitment.

You might be closer to renting than you think.
