Rent levels in Torrox, from declared leases
753 declared leases stand behind it, a base thin enough that a few unusual contracts move it. Five years have added 29 % to the reference, well ahead of general inflation. The reference for Torrox is 7,76 €/m², above the national middle, so a sitting tenant has more to lose from moving than the headline suggests.
