FAQ about having a flat in Spain living outside
Can I sign the contract without travelling to Spain?
Yeah. That's the situation of most of our owners living outside. The contract can be signed with a power of attorney given in your country of residence, or with electronic signature where the regulations allow. No need to step in Spain at any time.
Is it dangerous to leave an empty floor while I decide what to do?
No dramatizing but we have to be realistic: a closed house for months deteriorated faster (motiades, stop installations, some malfunction that nobody detects in time) and requires someone to check with some frequency. It's not an imminent risk situation, but a quiet cost that accumulates monthly without you noticing from outside.
How do I pay rent if I'm non-resident?
As a non-resident, you tax in Spain for the rents generated by the property. The exact type and model depend on your country of residence and your concrete situation, so always trust your fiscal advisor. We have prepared the contract with the staff and retention currently ready, so that you have only to check with your consultant before signing.

With a% manager, you are still the owner of the rental rental business: housing bills to your name, you assume the risk of employment and fiscal obligations of that activity, although the manager will conduct the daily operation. At a fixed income, you sign a commercial lease with Bliss: you get a lump sum every month and it's not you that operates the housing turistically.
Do I have to manage something from outside once the contract's been signed?
No. Bliss takes care of guests, cleaning, maintenance, incidents and supplies. You get a monthly account transfer that you prefer, Spanish or foreign, and a periodic report about housing status.
What if I have to sell the place in the future?
The rental contract includes an exit by sale clause with notice. You can sell with the contract currently under way and the buyer can maintain or resolve with the agreed notice. He doesn't bind you for life to his place.
