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.
