At Finques Jordi Tané, your real estate agency in Palafrugell, we closely monitor the evolution of the rental market on the Costa Brava. In recent years, the demand for long-term rentals (LDR) has increased significantly, both from local residents and from new profiles who choose to live in peaceful settings like the Baix Empordà.
But what are tenants really looking for today when choosing a home to rent long-term? In this article, we explain it and give you some tips to prepare your property and rent it out faster and more profitably.
1. Quality internet connection
One of the most valued factors, especially for those who work remotely or study from home, is connectivity. Fiber optic or good 4G/5G coverage is practically essential these days. If your property doesn’t have internet, considering installing it can be a key factor in attracting tenants.
2. Efficient homes with utilities included
Many tenants prioritize homes with good thermal insulation, double-glazed windows, and energy-efficient appliances. In some cases, it’s appreciated if the rental price includes part of the utilities (water, electricity, or Wi-Fi), although it’s not mandatory.
3. Good location and access to services
In areas like Palafrugell, having supermarkets, health centers, public transportation, or schools nearby is a plus. Ease of parking is also valued, especially in homes located in the city center or in hard-to-reach areas.
4. Flexibility and friendly service
New tenant profiles value landlords who offer clear contracts, flexible terms, and basic maintenance included. Sometimes, the option to rent with pets or partially furnished apartments also makes a difference.
5. Average rental price in Palafrugell
Currently, the average long-term rental price in Palafrugell for 2-3 bedroom apartments ranges between €650 and €850 per month, depending on the location, the condition of the property, and the utilities included. Houses with gardens or terraces are even more in demand.
