Frequently Asked Questions
What rent do I need for a good yield on a €150,000 property?
Annual rent = price × target gross yield. On €150,000: 4% needs €500 a month; 5% needs €625 a month; 6% needs €750 a month; 7% needs €875 a month; 8% needs €1,000 a month. Net yield is lower because of vacancy, IBI, community fees, insurance, maintenance and tax.
What is the net rental yield on a €150,000 property in Spain?
At €690 a month (5.5% gross) the net yield is 3.5% for a Spanish resident, 3.4% for an EU/EEA non-resident and 2.6% for a non-resident outside the EU/EEA, who is taxed on gross rent. The figures assume a Madrid resale flat, IBI of €360 a year, a community fee of €60 a month, 5% vacancy and 5% maintenance, with no mortgage.
How much cash do I need to buy a €150,000 property in Spain?
In Madrid, €9,000 of ITP and about €3,000 of closing costs bring the total to €162,000. Across the mainland regions the total ranges from €159,000 in Basque Country to €168,000 in Catalonia, because the transfer tax differs by region.
Is a 5.5% gross yield good in Spain?
It is close to the national average gross yield of about 5.5% (Global Property Guide, Q3 2026). After costs and tax it is 3.5% net on €150,000, so compare flats on net yield, not on the headline figure in the listing.
