For sellers: when selling a home in Spain, what issues to be aware of?
First… a note of interest.
If you would like to sell privately, we have many people waiting, and no one other than you and those potential buyers needs to know. If you are happy for your home to be seen publicly, we can instantly share the information with literally thousands of other Agents.
The point being, that when you use us to sell your property, you don´t need to do anything else. Such is the strength of our real-life network, combined with Ai.
Here are the main issues to consider.
1. Legal & Administrative:
- Property Registry: We will help you ensure your property is properly registered and up-to-date. If not it is no problem for us to arrange it.
- Title Deeds: Have all necessary documents readily available for potential buyers, including the title deed (Escritura).
- Taxes: Understand the applicable taxes, including the “Plusvalía” tax, which is calculated on the capital gain from the sale. Sometimes this can vary on the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca.
2. Marketing & Pricing:
- Market Research: We can help you to research current market conditions, comparable properties, and appropriate pricing strategies. You can compare many on our site.
- Marketing Efforts: We use several marketing channels to reach potential buyers, including online platforms, real estate partners, and local advertising.
- Negotiation: Be prepared to negotiate with potential buyers to reach a mutually agreeable price.
3. Transaction & Closing:
- Pre-Contract (Arras): Understanding the pre-contract agreement and its implications.
- Completion (Escritura Publica): Ensuring the final deed is correctly drafted and signed before transferring ownership.
- Payment Process: Agreeing upon a secure and transparent payment method for the transaction.
4. Other Considerations:
- Property Condition: If needed we can help you to prepare your property for sale by making necessary repairs, presenting it in its best possible light. Even just a few “touch-ups” can make a big difference.
- Documentation: Gathering all relevant documents, including building permits, utility bills, and tax records. This is all helpful to potential buyers.
Our team is highly qualified to assist you with all of this.
