Nestled in Madrid’s Chamberí district, a fully furnished three‑bedroom apartment on Calle de Trafalgar is both a live‑in home and an investable asset. Priced at USD 1,300,000 and delivered in 2020, this 129 sqm residence exemplifies the kind of urban, turnkey product Spain Connect brings to international buyers—modern finishes, practical circulation, and immediate rental appeal.

This three‑bedroom, two‑bath apartment presents a clear investment profile: 129 sqm (approx. 1,388 sqft) of living area, furnished and air‑conditioned, in one of Madrid’s most rent‑resilient neighbourhoods. As shown in the photos, the open living/dining area benefits from large windows that increase daylight hours and tenant appeal—two factors that directly affect achievable rents and occupancy.

How the layout maps to investor metrics

Layout efficiency matters for yield calculations. The flowing social space and three private bedrooms reduce churn risk by appealing to families, professionals and high‑quality sharers—tenant profiles that command longer leases. For an investor, that translates into lower re‑letting costs and steadier net yield assumptions when stress‑testing scenarios across vacancy and management fees.

Property features that drive value

Beyond the headline specs, the apartment’s value drivers are practical and quantifiable: turnkey furnishing (reduces time to first rent), integrated HVAC (reduces capital expense for buyers), recent build/renovation date 2020 (lower immediate capex), and a Chamberí address (premium rental demand). The images capture these selling points—clean finishes, fitted storage and daylight in principal rooms—evidence Spain Connect uses to set realistic market rents.

Quick checklist for investors reviewing similar Madrid apartments: 1) Furnishing status — lowers time to income and can support slightly higher gross rents. 2) Build/renovation year — 2020 reduces near‑term maintenance risk. 3) Amenity and transport proximity — influences achievable rent and yield. 4) Layout flexibility — three bedrooms widen tenant pool and resilience.

Spain Connect — how the agency adds measurable value

Spain Connect positions itself as a Madrid‑based intermediary serving international buyers across luxury, investment and rental markets. With ten years in the market and a stated focus that includes new‑construction and rental strategy, the agency’s role is modular: sourcing appropriate assets, vetting legal/title status, and packaging listings so overseas buyers can assess them against yield‑first criteria. The presentation of this Chamberí apartment is a practical example of that workflow.

From sourcing to portfolio fit: Spain Connect’s process

For this property Spain Connect demonstrates three concrete strengths investors should value: local market triangulation (finding properties in rent‑stable micro‑neighbourhoods like Chamberí), transparent packaging (professional photos and factual interior specs that support underwriting), and operational readiness (furnishing and HVAC already in place to reduce time‑to‑income). The photographs—showing living space proportions, bedroom sizes and street context—are intentionally documentary to support due diligence rather than sell on emotion.

Chamberí and Madrid market context for international buyers

Chamberí consistently ranks as one of central Madrid’s most occupation‑stable districts due to a mix of long‑stay residents, steady professional demand and proximity to transport nodes. For investors, central districts typically deliver lower gross yields than outer suburbs but offer superior capital preservation and lower vacancy volatility. When assessing a USD 1.3M transaction, net yield expectations should be calibrated against Madrid central benchmarks and include Spanish transaction taxes, community fees and realistic management costs.

Practical market considerations to model before purchase: run a sensitivity table for net yield across vacancy bands (2–8%), apply local tax and transfer costs, and compare comparable rents within a 500m radius. Spain Connect’s local comps and the property photos help populate these inputs quickly for overseas investors conducting remote underwriting.

What the images reveal about asset condition and demand

The supplied images show a neutral palette, quality fixtures and daylight exposure—factors that make the apartment competitive in long‑let markets. Exterior shots imply street character and proximity to amenities; interior shots indicate low immediate capex. Spain Connect’s photography aligns with our expectation for analytic listings: honest, consistent, and informative for underwriting rather than aspirational staging.

How to approach this opportunity as an international buyer

If this apartment matches your investment brief, prioritise three actions: 1) Request Spain Connect’s rent roll assumptions and comparable lease terms; 2) Confirm total acquisition costs (transfer tax, notary, registration, agent fees); 3) Commission a short structural and services report to validate the stated 2020 build/renovation. Spain Connect can expedite each step for non‑resident buyers by coordinating local advisers and providing market comps that reflect Chamberí’s specific demand profile.

For remote investors, the agency’s documented process—professional imagery, clear furnishing status, and engagement with local legal and management partners—reduces execution risk. Use the material Spain Connect provides to populate your cash‑flow model and run a three‑scenario projection: conservative (long vacancy, lower rent), base (market rent, standard vacancy), and optimistic (premium rent, high occupancy).

Final assessment and next steps

This Chamberí apartment is a mid‑market, turnkey city core asset that aligns with income‑focused international strategies prioritising low‑volatility central locations. Spain Connect’s package — factual photos, clear furnishing status and local market context — equips buyers to underwrite accurately and move decisively. For a detailed financial pack, comparable rental data and a remote viewing, contact Spain Connect through their Madrid office; their local knowledge shortens the information asymmetry that typically slows cross‑border transactions.

As shown in the images, the apartment’s condition and layout support both owner‑occupation and long‑let investment strategies. If your objective is predictable rental income and geographic diversification into Spain’s capital, this listing merits a full underwriting round using Spain Connect’s supporting documents.
