How does the AI room finder work?

You describe what you need in plain English: budget, city, neighborhood vibe, move-in date, must-haves. Flatspain AI Room Finder then searches Spotahome, HousingAnywhere, Uniplaces, Flatio and Badi simultaneously, fetches listing details, verifies availability, applies the Flatspain 16-Point Scam Screen, adds the Flatspain Neighborhood Score for each barrio, and delivers a ranked shortlist with photos, maps and agent contacts, usually within minutes.

What does the €49 search include?

One full Flatspain search: up to 12 platform queries, 25 listings analyzed, the Flatspain 16-Point Scam Screen applied to every listing, the Flatspain Rent Benchmark and Flatspain Neighborhood Score for each barrio, and a ranked top-5 report with pre-filled WhatsApp messages for each agent. Usually delivered within minutes (guaranteed within 24 hours).

Which platforms do you search?

Expat-focused rental platforms that welcome relocating tenants: Spotahome, HousingAnywhere, Uniplaces, Flatio, and Badi, covering furnished mid-term flats, studios, and rooms in shared flats, with verified listings and no scraping of sites that forbid it.

How do you detect rental scams?

Every listing goes through the Flatspain 16-Point Scam Screen, a 16-point check covering prices far below the barrio average, landlords 'currently abroad', deposit requests before viewing, Wise or crypto payment demands, missing exact addresses, and misused temporada contracts. Listings that fail a critical check are removed from your shortlist before you ever see them.

Can I rent in Spain without a NIE?

Yes, many landlords accept a passport for signing, though you'll need a NIE for utilities and long-term registration. Tell Flatspain your visa status in your brief and we'll prioritize foreigner-friendly listings and agents used to working with expats.

How fast will I get my shortlist?

Most searches finish in 5–15 minutes, because our agents work in parallel across platforms, and you can watch live progress on your order dashboard. If a search needs extra verification we guarantee delivery within 24 hours.

What if you can't find good apartments for my brief?

If your criteria return too few verified listings, Flatspain tells you honestly and offers a free re-run with broadened criteria such as different barrios or an adjusted budget. If you're still not satisfied, contact support and a human will review your order.

What is the concierge service?

A human in Spain takes over after your report: WhatsApp outreach to agents in natural Spanish, viewings scheduled within 72 hours, negotiated terms and a rental contract review. Two tiers: Remote (€499) with live video-call viewings, ideal before you land, or Full (€900) with a local attending each viewing in person on your behalf.

Payment is processed by Stripe and only captured when your report is delivered. Until then the €49 is an authorization hold on your card.

Do you work with landlords or agencies?

No. Flatspain is paid only by you, so the ranking is unbiased and no landlord, agency or new development can buy a higher position.

Is an AI apartment finder better than searching Idealista yourself?

For expats relocating from abroad, usually yes. A portal like Idealista hands you thousands of unranked listings to filter alone; Flatspain AI Room Finder searches several platforms at once, applies the Flatspain 16-Point Scam Screen to every listing, adds the Flatspain Rent Benchmark and Flatspain Neighborhood Score for context, and returns a shortlist ranked against your exact brief, minutes of reading instead of hours of scrolling.

Which Spanish cities do you cover?
