If you are looking for properties to rent in Gibraltar or Spain, the options are endless: from Studios and Apartments in Gibraltar to Town Houses and Villas in Spain.

As a guide, prior to taking occupancy of a Gibraltar Rental Property a deposit equivalent to one month's rent is required, together with the first month's rent in advance. Typically, in Gibraltar Lettings, the term or duration of a tenancy agreement will vary from 6 months at minimum to more frequent 12 months renewable tenancies. In Spanish Rentals, similarly, a deposit equivalent to one month's rent is required together with the first month's rent in advance prior to granting a tenancy. The duration of tenancy is contracted from a minimum of 6 months to a maximum of 11 months renewable at both Landlord's and Tenant's discretion.

Employment references and previous Landlord references are required together with proof of identification before tenancy agreements can be drafted.

Once you have identified the area in which you would like to call home, either Gibraltar or Spain, its time to view some properties. Living in Gibraltar proves advantageous on many fronts: employment; education & schooling; and health care. Only if you reside in Gibraltar can you freely claim the benefits provided. However in some cases, it might be that your fiscal status dictates the need to acquire a Gibraltar address. For further information on Gibraltar's Fiscal Policies see our CAT2 page.

Spain offers a plethora of choice, from town or city life, to modern urbanisations, or a peaceful retreat to country life. In many of the areas available to rent in Spain, transport will be required. Many individuals who take up employment in Gibraltar choose to reside in Spain and commute up to 40 minutes. However, if you choose to rent in Spain one cannot apply for residency in Gibraltar and some services will no longer be free of charge, such as schooling & education.

In both Gibraltar and Spanish Lettings, it is the Tenants' responsibility to pay the monthly rent, utilities, such as water, electricity and gas, plus any additional subscriptions they may choose to apply for, such as telephone, internet or satellite TV.

In Gibraltar rentals, it is the Tenants' responsibility to subscribe and connect to the relevant utilities. Water is applied for at Aqua Gib, who will require a Tenancy Agreement, proof of ID and a deposit (£25.00). Electricity is applied for at the Gibraltar Electricity Authority. Again, the same documents are required and there is a deposit and connection fee (£60.00).

All properties should be cleaned by the Landlord at the onset of the tenancy and professionally cleaned by the Tenants prior to checking out at the end of the tenancy. Rates and Service Charges are the responsibility of the Landlord and should not be borne by the Tenant.

Help and advice can be given on any aspect of the letting process and its dynamics. If you are new to Gibraltar or are just pressed for time, we can walk you through every stage and even do some of the legwork for you, such as connecting up to the utilities or obtaining any additional fixtures or fittings you may require.
