Housing abroad — Spain
Targeted search based on your budget and neighbourhood, listing and landlord checks, introductions, lease review and a move-in checklist. You land with a booked home, not a list of links.
Housing abroad — country specifics — Spain
In Madrid and Barcelona the market moves fast and agencies ask for an NIE, the last three payslips and often a local guarantor or rent-default insurance. We target realistic neighbourhoods for your budget (Tetuán, Carabanchel, Poblenou rather than central Salamanca or the Eixample) and check the landlord is the registered owner (nota simple).

Frequently asked questions
Verified review
« I was scared to sign a lease in Barcelona from Lyon. Rootovia had the nota simple checked, joined me on video for three viewings and negotiated the deposit down to one month. I moved in without ever setting foot in the flat before the day itself. »
