Rapid response

Si tienes licencia turística y no quieres gestionar, tienes 4 opciones reales, no solo dos: una gestora que cobra entre el 20% y el 30% de lo facturado, renta fija con Bliss (entre el 60% y el 75% del alquiler residencial de mercado, cobrando cada mes esté ocupada o no), vender aprovechando que la licencia añade valor, o dejarla parada, que es la opción que más dinero pierde cada mes. Con licencia ya vigente, la renta fija arranca en 1-2 semanas.

The problem isn't his license, his management.

The processing of a tourist licence isn't trivial: a responsible statement, a document of habitability, an energy certificate, sometimes a small work to meet the requirements of production of fumes or extinguishers. If you have it already, you have made the part difficult - the next operative step is how to activate your home at 90 days. The problem appears later: to exploit it means guest messages at any hour, to coordinate cleanliness between stays, to upload decent photos, to set prices every week as demand and to solve what gets damaged just in August.

That's not laziness. It's just that you have another job, you live in another town, you have more than one property, or just how long you have to manage doesn't make up for what you gain by managing. The usual mistake is to think that there are only two ways: to manage them or to leave them closed. There's four of them and they're all worth meeting before they decide anything.

1 option - A manager with a percentage

The complete operation (advertising, messaging, cleanliness, maintenance and prices) is delegated to a management company that charges between 20% and 30% from what the housing enters. You're still the legal tenant to the guest, and you're still charging as a result of actual employment: in a good, more month, in a low, less.

It's the choice that best yields in the long term if your area has high and sustained tourist demand and if your tolerance to monthly income variability is reasonable. It's also the one that demands more confidence in the manager: you're still responsible for platforms, community and administration, even if you don't touch daily - who's responding to his license if he manages another.

2 - Fixed rental with Bliss (guaranteed rental)

You sign a lease with Bliss Homes. Bliss pays you a regular rent every month, housing is occupied or empty, and operates your license as a tourist accommodation with all risks: supplies, maintenance, cleanliness, platform commissions, guest care. You don't manage anything.

Fixed income is usually situated between 60% and 75% residential market rental from your area. It's less than a good tourist month's gross income but you get paid every month, with no outlays and no management. The damage that a guest may cause is covered by Bliss. Natural wear and wear remains at your disposal, as with any rental - the usual objection is and if a guest breaks something, who pays. The contract lasts 1 year with an automatic annual extension - it doesn't bind you to five years.

With the license already processed, this is the fastest way of the four: we have to wait for an administrative decision, just sign and start charging.

3 option - Selling housing (license adds value)

If your real intention is to clear up the asset, this is the time to get his license out of place, not to leave it to expire without using it. In areas where new and increasingly more and more licences are no longer granted, a housing with an existing tourist license is more valid on the market than an equivalent without it, as the buyer saves months or years of uncertain processing.

Selling gives you immediate liquidity and close the issue at once. The countershare is that you give up the asset and any future revaluation of the area and the recurring income that you may be charging while you decide. If you are not in a hurry to sell but do not care to manage, there's an intermediate option: to clear income with fixed income while you decide the time of sale, without the housing being stopped while.

4 option - Let them stop (what you lose every month)

That's by far the most common choice with licensed owners they don't care about. It looks as if we have a free choice: we have no guests, we have no problems. But it's got a real cost that many don't figure out. You continue to pay for IBI, community, insurance and minimum supplies, and above that you give up the income that the license would allow you to generate. A housing stop with a tourist license valid with demand area is, in practice, money that you leave above the table every passing month.

Also, according to the autonomous regulations of your community, some licences require minimum activity or are subject to regular review to be valid. Stopping her up for a long time can complicate her renewal the day you want to use her again. That's no risk to be assumed by inertia.

Tax reform currently under way: el Gobierno lleva al Congreso el decreto que subiría el IVA de los pisos turísticos al 21% y permitiría recargos de IBI. Los cambios apuntan a quien explota la vivienda. Con una renta fija, el explotador es Bliss: tu renta no cambia, la vivienda esté llena o vacía. Calculate your fixed income →

FAQ

I have a license. How long does Bliss have to start operations?

If your license's already in place, we have nothing to conduct. After signing the contract we usually start operating at 1-2 weeks: equipment if necessary, digital and high lock on the platforms. With a license on his hand, that's the fastest way of all four.

Can I shift from manager to rent without losing his license?

Yeah. The tourist license's under your name as a incumbent, and not that of the manager. You can change your model whenever you wish and Bliss simply goes into operation under your license currently in place with the new contract.

What exactly will I get with a fixed income?

It depends on area, typology, m ² and verified tourist demand. To reference, the fixed income usually lies between 60% and 75% of your area's residential market rental. We give you the concrete amount in writing after free technical visit.

What if I have to manage her again in the future?

The fixed income contract is signed by 1 year with an annual extension, not by 5 years. When you have earned every year you can decide to avoid renewal and regaining your home management.

If I sell the house, do I lose what I have invested in the license?

No, on the contrary. In areas where new licences are no longer granted, a housing with an existing tourist license is more valid at market level than an equivalent without them. The investment you made in processing it forms part of the selling price.

Do I have an impact on fiscal reform currently under way if I have a fixed income?

The decision currently under way at Congress, which would raise the VAT of the tourist flats to 21% and allow for IBI surcharges, points to those who exploit the housing turistically. With a fixed income, that paper's assumed by Bliss as a tenant: your rent doesn't change.

Can I compare comprehensive management and fixed income before deciding?

Yeah. At the free technical visit we give you the two figures in writing: what will give up your housing in complete management and what will be paid every month with a fixed income. I mean, you decide with data, but you're not blind.

If I leave the house for a long time, can I lose his license?

It depends on the autonomous regulations: some regulations require minimum activity or periodic revisions to maintain the valid license. That's not a risk we have to face without. If your license's been out of use for some time, it's worth checking your case before more time goes by.
