Why choose Spain Long Lets?

Most new residents or visitors to the Algarve either know the region or become familiar with it via the internet. However, when the time comes to search for a long-term rental, even prior knowledge or extensive web research does not guarantee success.

There is a long-term rental stock shortage caused by owners wanting to make as much money over the lucrative summer months. Some owners do not provide rental contracts. Most real estate agents deal with rentals as an after-thought. It is difficult to find a company which is simultaneously independent, offers coverage of multiple regions within the Algarve, and which provides properties across a range of types, views and prices. Algarve Long Lets addresses this market need.

Algarve Long Lets is unique for a number of reasons:

It brings together a network of individually owned and agent managed properties
All our properties have been previously selected and the terms of the rentals agreed with owners or their property managers, all of whom sign agreements with us. Algarve Long Lets is much more than a listing service
It is the only site with long-term rental listings in almost all municipalities of the Algarve and by far the largest comprehensive list of long-term accommodation options in the region
Owners and agents do not pay a fee to be on the site – rather, we vet the properties for appropriateness, price and sufficient availability (most properties are available for at least 6 months of the year)
We are available to support clients during the term of their rental. We do not simply act as an introductory or rental site
We are able to provide a range of value-added services including rental contract preparation, NHR applications, utilities management, introduction to D7 support agencies etc.
We do not represent the landlord over the tenant, nor vice versa. We act for both to ensure an optimal solution
We represent more than 25 nationalities and the team speaks multiple languages
As an overwhelming majority of our rental clients are seniors or retirees, we are uniquely positioned in that much of our inventory meets the requirements of that demographic (which in turn means it is excellent for many other market sectors as well), namely: walking distance to amenities and transport; accessible properties, either single floor properties or apartments served by elevators; environments close to multi-lingual, expatriate communities; and suitably prepared properties such as those with good heating solutions for the winter
We are specialists in sourcing accommodation options that cater for pets
We have fully-accessible options available as well as some long-term options for seniors requiring care

If we do not have a suitable option in our portfolio, where appropriate we provide a search service conducted by one of our experienced team.
