The problem of the owner at Covarrubias and Burgos's stealth

The master houses of Covarrubias are one of the most unique real estate properties de Castile and León. Stone houses with wood interiors, sculpted dintels, interiors and volumetries that aren't replicated anywhere else. And many of them are closed.

The typical owner from Covarrubias has a family wedding that belonged to his grandparents or great grandparents. The family has been in Burgos or Madrid for generations and uses the house in summer and at local parties. The rest of the year is empty, with IBI paid from a property that goes down with a low level of use and regular maintenance.

There are three regular brakes:

  • The historic town's scary. Many owners assume that having a house in a town with property protection complicates the proceedings. Not necessarily: CyL's 3 / 2017 Decree also applies to Covarrubias. If there's an item with a specific condition, Bliss manages his previous report at an additional cost.
  • The second residence that "isn't sold but isn't rented." It's the most common trap: the owner doesn't want to get rid of his family's wedding but doesn't care about his rent. The guaranteed rental breaks that dichotomy: you keep the property, you get an rent, and you can get the house back if you need it.
  • The residential market at Covarrubias doesn't exist. In a town of 600 inhabitants there's no demand for residential rental. Tourism is the only cost-effective option but requires an operational structure that the individual owner doesn't have.

A real case at Burgos's office

The house had been closed since Dolores's father's death four years earlier. Dolores and his brothers - all residents of Burgos capital - did not agree about what Do with the property. The guaranteed rental solved family conflict: they held The property and rent are distributed among co-owners and nobody has to manage anything. We visit the house, we estimate the minor works necessary to enable it as tourist accommodation (we have assumed as part of the contract), we have been processing the VT license and we gave up the announcement by highlighting historic architecture and privileged location opposite the Collegiate. The first complete season had an occupation of 78%.
