Renting out your property to tourists in Alicante requires a valid tourist licence: operating without one can lead to significant penalties and problems with the homeowners' association. If you are considering buying a property for holiday rental, or already own one and want to regularise it, here is what you need to bear in mind.<\/p>\n
It is the authorisation required by Valencian Community regulations to use a property for tourist rental (short stays, normally by the day or week, through platforms such as Airbnb or Booking). Without it, the property cannot be legally advertised as tourist accommodation.<\/p>\n
In general terms, the following are usually required: a valid certificate of habitability, a certificate of planning compatibility from the town hall, that the homeowners' association has not expressly prohibited it in its statutes, and compliance with certain equipment requirements (air conditioning, first-aid kit, complaints form, visible tourist information). The exact requirements and processing times may vary by municipality, so it is advisable to confirm them before buying with this intention.<\/p>\n
The regulation of tourist rentals in the Valencian Community has been getting stricter in recent years, with more control over homeowners' associations and certain restrictions in some areas. Before investing with holiday rental in mind, it is essential to check the up-to-date situation of the building and the specific municipality, not just the general regulations.<\/p>\n
Not every property or every type of owner suits the management of a holiday rental: it requires more commitment (or a manager) than a traditional rental, and profitability depends greatly on the area and the season. At WeProperties we work with you to analyse whether your property, or the one you are considering buying, makes sense as a tourist rental, as a traditional rental, or whether selling would suit you better.<\/p>\n
