“The prices of properties on sale and to rent are falling at different paces, while the selling price falls at a constant pace and everyone thinks it will continue falling, rentals are much more stable”, the chief of studies of idealista.com, Fernando Encinar, declares.

“It is true that the difficult access to credit is forcing many people to rent instead of buying, which is making the “buy for rent” more and more interesting, to negotiate the buying price of a property well in order to place it in the rental market”, Encinar concluded.
