Finding a flat in Madrid is harder than it should be. We make it straightforward.
A complete rental search and relocation service for international professionals and families arriving in Madrid. From neighbourhood briefing to keys — in your language.
Before any search begins, here is what you need.
Proof of income
Minimum 3x the monthly rent. Employment contract or freelance documentation, ideally translated into Spanish.
Bank statements
3 to 6 months of statements showing regular income. Non-Spanish accounts are accepted but may require additional documentation.
Active Spanish residence (NIE number)
We can guide you through obtaining it.
Rental guarantee
Many landlords require a "seguro de impago" for foreign tenants. We have a partner provider — the only one in Madrid that covers non-residents.
"Once you have these in order, we handle everything else."
From your first message to your first night in your new flat.
Initial Call
20 minutes. We understand your timeline, budget, neighbourhood preferences, and documentation situation. No obligation.
Documentation Briefing
We send a personalised checklist. We review your documents before presenting them to any landlord. No rejections for avoidable reasons.
Search & Curation
We activate our network of agents, landlords, and off-market contacts. You see only what genuinely fits your criteria.
Viewings & Negotiation
We accompany you, advise on what to check, and negotiate lease terms on your behalf. The contract is reviewed by our specialist lawyer before you sign anything.
Keys & Beyond
We attend the key handover. We help with utilities, internet setup, and any issue in the first 30 days. You are not alone after you move in.
