Property Management Valencia

Managing Your Property in Valencia from Abroad

At Blue Key, we help foreigners buy an apartment in Valencia. But what happens after the purchase? Managing your apartment, especially if you don’t live in Spain, comes with specific responsibilities and challenges. In this final episode of our 4-part guide on How to Buy an Apartment in Valencia, we explain everything you need to know about property management in Valencia—from legal obligations to concierge services and renovation support.

Why You Need Property Management in Valencia

Whether you plan to rent out your apartment in Valencia or keep it for personal use, professional property management is essential—especially if you are living abroad. Managing a property remotely means relying on a trusted team to take care of day-to-day tasks, emergency issues, and communication with tenants, neighbors, and local authorities.

Do You Plan to Rent Out Your Apartment?

If your investment goal is rental income, your apartment needs to be fully furnished, decorated, and managed efficiently. This applies to both short-term tourist rentals and mid-term expat rentals.

Key Services for Rental Apartments:

• Furnishing and decoration

• Guest check-in and check-out

• Cleaning and linen service

• Deposit handling and maintenance

• Ongoing communication with guests

These concierge services are essential, especially for Airbnb or seasonal rentals, and typically cost a small percentage of the rental income. In Valencia, many local agencies provide such support, but choosing the right partner is crucial.

Even If You Don’t Rent: You Still Need Property Management

If you are not planning to rent your apartment, you still need someone to look after it. Responsibilities include attending neighbor community meetings, managing ongoing maintenance, paying local taxes, and staying on top of building-related issues. Foreign apartment owners who are not physically present need a property manager to represent them.

Concierge and Housekeeping Services for Rental Apartments

If your property is aimed at the expat or tourist market, you’ll need to offer full-service furnished housing. This includes essentials such as towels, bed linen, cookware, and functional furniture. These items often need repair or replacement between guests. Concierge tasks include:

• Coordinating check-in and check-out

• Collecting and returning deposits

• Handling repairs and urgent maintenance

• Organizing apartment cleaning and linen changes

• Resolving tenant problems and emergencies

Legal and Fiscal Property Responsibilities in Valencia

Being a property owner in Valencia means you must meet certain legal and tax obligations. These can be difficult to manage without a local presence or Spanish fluency.

Main Legal Tasks Include:

• Tax declarations – Including IBI (property tax) and annual returns for non-residents.

• Community meetings – If you can’t attend, your property manager can vote on your behalf.

• Construction and repairs – Your property manager can supervise any renovation or repair projects.

• Dealing with difficult neighbors – A knowledgeable manager helps you navigate legal rights and obligations.

Renovation and Decoration Support

After buying an apartment in Valencia, you may want to renovate or redesign it before renting it out. A good property management agency will help you prepare your apartment for the rental market with:

• Interior painting

• Removing and replacing furniture

• Receiving deliveries and installations

• Installing kitchens and bathrooms

• Redesigning the apartment layout

• Buying and stocking household goods (towels, dishes, linens)
