How long do flips take?

Plan for 6–12 months including licences, works, marketing and sale.

Can foreigners buy property in Spain?

Yes. There are no restrictions on foreigners buying property in Spain. You'll need an NIE number and a Spanish bank account; that's it.

No. Many buyers on the Costa Blanca are non-residents who use their property as a holiday or rental home. Residency only matters for tax purposes.

Renovation flips work on the Costa Blanca but need a realistic budget, trusted trades and patience with Spanish bureaucracy.

Dated apartments in established beach towns. Rural fincas with restoration potential. Penthouses needing a refresh.

Full renovation: €800–€1,400/m². Cosmetic refresh: €300–€500/m². Allow 20% contingency.
