RENTAL IN SPAIN

15th October 2025

A growing number of Belgian and Dutch homeowners are turning their backs on their domestic property markets and investing in the Spanish real estate sector.

Due to increasing regulations, taxes, and restrictions, renting in Belgium and the Netherlands is no longer profitable. Many owners are selling their rental properties, leading to a rapid decline in supply and rising rents, especially in cities like Brussels, Ghent, Antwerp, Amsterdam, and Rotterdam.
Real estate agents warn that the private rental sector is in danger of disappearing. Owners no longer feel supported, while governments are primarily focused on protecting tenants, causing private investors to withdraw.
At the same time, interest in the real estate sector on the Costa del Sol and other Spanish regions is increasing. Belgian and Dutch real estate agents in Spain receive daily inquiries about investments, profitability, and local regulations.
However, not everyone in Spain is happy with this influx. There, too, cities and tourist areas are struggling with housing shortages and rising prices, with foreign buyers increasingly seen as part of the problem.
