What rents in Arrecife actually are
A flat in Arrecife rents at a reference of 7,10 €/m², the middle of the Spanish range and the level at which old and new contracts diverge most. 3.944 declared leases sit behind it: enough to inform, small enough that one street can sit outside the range. It is 19,9 % above the reference of five years earlier.
Rents declared on income-tax returns for main-residence leases, not asking prices. They lag the market and exclude holiday lets.
