Question 1

How does the AI room finder work?

Accepted Answer

You describe what you need in plain English: budget, city, neighborhood vibe, move-in date, must-haves. Our AI agents search Spotahome, HousingAnywhere, Uniplaces, Flatio, and Badi simultaneously, fetch listing details, verify availability, check for scams, analyze neighborhood data, and deliver a ranked shortlist with photos, maps, and agent contacts, usually within minutes.

Question 2

What does the €49 search include?

Accepted Answer

One full AI search: up to 12 platform queries, 25 listings analyzed, scam screening on every listing, neighborhood safety and price benchmarks, and a ranked top-5 report with pre-filled WhatsApp messages for each agent. Usually delivered within minutes (guaranteed within 24 hours).

Question 3

Which platforms do you search?

Accepted Answer

Expat-focused rental platforms that welcome relocating tenants: Spotahome, HousingAnywhere, Uniplaces, Flatio, and Badi, covering furnished mid-term flats, studios, and rooms in shared flats, with verified listings and no scraping of sites that forbid it.

Question 4

How do you detect rental scams?

Accepted Answer

Every listing is screened against documented scam patterns: prices far below the barrio average, landlords 'currently abroad', deposit requests before viewing, Wise or crypto payment demands, missing exact addresses, and misused temporada contracts. Listings with critical flags are removed from your shortlist.

Question 5

Can I rent in Spain without a NIE?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many landlords accept a passport for signing, though you'll need a NIE for utilities and long-term registration. Tell us your visa status in your brief and we'll prioritize foreigner-friendly listings and agents used to working with expats.

Question 6

How fast will I get my shortlist?

Accepted Answer

Most searches finish in 5–15 minutes, because our agents work in parallel across platforms, and you can watch live progress on your order dashboard. If a search needs extra verification we guarantee delivery within 24 hours.

Question 7

What if you can't find good apartments for my brief?

Accepted Answer

If your criteria return too few verified listings, we'll tell you honestly and offer a free re-run with broadened criteria such as different barrios or an adjusted budget. If you're still not satisfied, contact support and a human will review your order.

Question 8

What is the concierge service?

Accepted Answer

A human in Spain takes over after your report: WhatsApp outreach to agents in natural Spanish, viewings scheduled within 72 hours, negotiated terms and a rental contract review. Two tiers: Remote (€499) with live video-call viewings, ideal before you land, or Full (€900) with a local attending each viewing in person on your behalf.

Question 9

Is my payment safe?

Accepted Answer

Payment is processed by Stripe and only captured when your report is delivered. Until then the €49 is an authorization hold on your card.

Question 10

Do you work with landlords or agencies?

Accepted Answer

No. We're paid only by you, so our ranking is unbiased and we have no incentive to push any listing, agency, or new development.

Question 11

Is an AI apartment finder better than searching Idealista yourself?

Accepted Answer

For expats relocating from abroad, usually yes. A portal like Idealista hands you thousands of unranked listings to filter alone; an AI agent searches several platforms at once, screens every listing for scams, adds neighborhood and price context, and returns a shortlist ranked against your exact brief, minutes of reading instead of hours of scrolling.

Question 12

How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Spain?

Accepted Answer

In 2026 a furnished one-bedroom ranges from about €650/month in Granada to €1,250 in Barcelona, with Madrid near €1,200 and Valencia around €1,050. A room in a shared flat averages €450–€600 in the big cities. Central expat barrios cost more; outer districts are cheaper.

Question 13

How much does it cost to buy property in Spain?

Accepted Answer

The 2026 national average is about €2,300/m², so roughly €180,000–€210,000 for a 90 m² apartment. Madrid runs near €3,700/m² and Granada near €1,900/m². Budget an extra 10–13% of the price for purchase taxes and fees.

Question 14

Which Spanish cities do you cover?

Accepted Answer

Every major Spanish city, including Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, Málaga, Bilbao, Alicante, Palma and Granada, plus smaller towns. If a city has rental listings, our agents can search it, even ones we don't yet keep warm in our inventory get scraped on demand for your order.
