Okupas in Spain — a risk for property owners
More and more Poles are investing in real estate in Spain 🌴. It’s a great way to diversify capital and enjoy life in the sun — but few people talk about a real risk: the phenomenon of “okupas”, or people illegally occupying someone else’s property.
⚠️ Why is this a problem?
– Within the first 48 hours of the occupation, the police can act quickly.
– After that period, the owner often has to go through a long eviction process.
– The result can be serious financial losses and loss of access to the property for many months.
✅ How to protect yourself?
Carefully check the legal and physical condition of the property before purchasing.
Use property management or supervision services to monitor the premises.
Ensure proper legal clauses and insurance coverage are in place.
