NoticiasThe Rental Problem in Spain: Challenges and Solutions for Students
ENAE Business School offers an attractive solution for its international students. Our agreement with Residencial SVK La Flota not only facilitates the search for accommodation, but also guarantees security and moderate prices, making it a valuable option for those who come to Spain with the intention of studying.
High Demand for Student Housing
The real estate market in Spain is facing a critical moment, especially for those looking for accommodation for the whole academic year. According to recent data, around 300,000 students are looking for flats each year, reflecting a high level of demand. This group includes both young people moving to universities and business schools in different provinces and international students, increasing the pressure on the rental market.
This picture not only highlights the high demand for housing, but also the insufficient supply of affordable student accommodation.
The Fotocasa Real Estate Index reports an increase in rental prices of 2.3% quarter-on-quarter and 9% year-on-year, reaching 12.65 euros per square metre per month. In addition, seasonal rents continue to gain ground over permanent rents, making it even more difficult to find a home for the entire academic year.
Rental Prices by City
The average price of a room in Spain is around 350 euros, although this figure can vary significantly depending on the city. In the Spanish capital, the cost rises to 500 euros, while in cities such as Granada and Alicante it is around 275 euros. In contrast, Murcia stands out as a more affordable alternative, with an average of 8.4 euros per square metre.
The cost of living in Murcia is approximately 30% cheaper than in Madrid and 25% cheaper than in Barcelona, according to Numbeo's Cost of Living Index. This difference allows students to enjoy a good quality of life without the financial pressure experienced in other large Spanish cities.
Challenges for International Students
Finding a rental flat from another country before arriving in Spain presents considerable challenges, especially for international students. These obstacles include unfamiliarity with the local market, language barriers, and the risk of scams and fraud. The lack of accurate information on prices, suitable locations and the quality of housing, coupled with the language barrier and cultural differences, significantly complicates the search.
