Blog categories – how to navigate the content

To help you find the content most relevant to you, we organise blog posts by topic category:

  • Market – Housing market trends: sales, prices, demand, supply, construction, mortgages, forecasts, and the investment outlook.
  • Property – News, ideas, stories, and insights about the property world in Spain — from practical tips for owners and buyers to location analysis, case studies, lifestyle angles, renovation trends, and changes in how people live with and think about property.
  • Housing Politics – Rules, laws, politics, opinions and public debates that affect housing in Spain. Includes regulations, rent caps, foreign buyer bans, squatter laws, and affordability debates.
  • Rentals – News about long-term and holiday rentals, landlord and tenant issues, licensing laws, and short-let regulations.
  • Taxes – All tax-related posts affecting owners, buyers, and vendors, including CGT, wealth tax, non-resident tax, and inheritance.
  • Mortgages – Lending trends, interest rates, Euribor updates, and mortgage market changes in Spain.
  • More – A flexible category for articles in category limbo — especially those published before recent taxonomy changes and not yet reassigned. Also used for occasional, offbeat, or uncategorisable posts that don’t clearly fit the main themes but still matter.
