Licence regime in this region

Catalonia HUT (Girona prefix HUTG-): under Decret-llei 3/2023 most Costa Brava municipalities are 'stressed' — new licences are frozen and existing ones expire after 5 years. A valid, transferable HUT is required; verify it with the agency.

The listing states no licence, and the register we hold for this coast lists numbers without coordinates, so a location check is not possible. Under the Catalan HUT regime (capped in stressed municipalities), ask the agency for the number before underwriting STR income.

A register hit means a licence exists at this location, not that it transfers with the sale: have a Spanish lawyer verify the transfer clause in the deed, the licence’s current status and the municipality’s renewal position before you commit.

After-tax basis: net yield is after Spain's non-resident rental income tax, modelled at the non-EU 24% rate on net profit (EU/EEA residents pay 19%). Assumes deductible STR expenses — standard for EU/EEA owners and, per recent rulings, available to non-EU owners; confirm with a Spanish tax adviser. Holiday lets don't qualify for the 60% long-term-rental reduction.
