Hi, welcome to BE.

This is the Site Feedback section, if you can tell us which country you're asking about, a mod can move it to the right place for you.

Spire

Hi, I am looking at spain. Thanks.

christmasoompa

Okey dokey, I'll move your thread to the Spain forum where the good folks there will no doubt be able to help.

Good luck.

Spire

Thankyou. Not sure how to navigate the site yet.

I would imagine that the site rules where you have the van would tell you this.
There is no law saying you cannot (as far as Im aware)
Some friends of ours have one on a site near Benidorm and the site has to be informed and they charge for guests.

Spire

Thanks, I don't have a van yet, just starting to find out what I can or cant do.

If you hire out (for cash) you ought to declare the income.

Spire

No problem with declaring, already do accounts each year,
just need to know if I can rent out the caravan or not.

To rent out you will need a tourist licence and you will not get one of those for a mobile home.

Spire

Thankyou, where can I find info, about the tourist licence?

I believe the rule for mobile homes and caravans is that the park has the tourist license, not the owner. Guests are allowed but you can't legally rent it out. Rental tax for Spanish property must be paid in Spain but if you can't get a tourist license then you can't legally rent it out and you can't pay the tax. I would steer clear of it.

Being Spain the precise requirements are likely to vary by region but try here for starters:

https://fuster-associates.com/tourist-rental-license/

https://www.spanishpropertyinsight.c...ay-rental-law/

There two main reason you won't get a licence for a Mobile/Park home or caravan are:

1. In the typical size home (rarely bigger than 12m x 4M) the sizes of the rooms will generally be below that required to meet the standards. Bathrooms are particular problem as the minimum size is 4.5m2 whereas many are little more than walk in wardrobe size!

2. Mobile homes/park homes/caravans etc. are not classed as 'properties' and will therefore not have habitation certificates disqualifying them outright.

Right of habitation is bestowed by being sited on a legal fully residential park but you'll be very hard pressed to find any residential park in Spain which doesn't strictly prohibit sub letting.

If you want to buy a property with letting potential then forget mobile home and buy an apartment with a tourist licence already in place, there are plenty to be had.

Spire

Thankyou all, this advice has been a great help.
next question then, can anyone, help with ,where do I start looking for cheaper apartment.?
