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 its pin is not precise enough to check the register by location. 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.
