Idealista, Fotocasa and Habitaclia

The big Spanish portals carry the most long-term listings, from both private landlords and agencies, and they are the right place for a 12-month or longer lease. Each has its own free saved-search alerts: set them up separately, because some homes appear on one and not the others.

RentAlert does not scan these portals. Their listings are not in the counts on this page.

How to see new listings first

Whatever site you use, save a search and turn notifications on: with a good monthly rental, replying early matters.

The catch is the number of sites: the rooms and flats above are spread over many catalogues, each with its own app and alerts.

RentAlert checks all 11 sites above every hour (the newest listings every 10 minutes), removes duplicates and sends only the ones that fit your budget, area and move-in date to WhatsApp. €5 for the first 7 days, then €20/month, cancel anytime.

Before you pay anything

Do not send a deposit for a place you or someone you trust has not seen, in person or on a live video call.

Be careful with prices far below the area's usual rent, landlords who are 'abroad' and will post the keys, and payment by transfer services or crypto.

RentAlert subscribers can send the bot a screenshot of any listing or landlord message and get a second opinion: how the price compares with the area and which warning signs appear.
