Timeframes vary depending on price, demand, location and how prepared the paperwork is. A home priced correctly and presented well usually attracts viewings faster and avoids “sticking” on the market.
Once you accept an offer, completion depends on the buyer’s funding and how quickly documents are ready. The smoother your preparation, the fewer delays later.
You’ll typically need proof of ownership (title deed), ID/NIE, and property documentation the notary/buyer will request. A recent nota simple is commonly used to confirm ownership and any charges on the property.
You’ll also need a valid Energy Performance Certificate (CEE) for the sale process. Requirements like a habitation certificate can depend on the region/municipality.
Seller costs usually include a combination of agency fees, local taxes (like plusvalia), and potential capital gains tax, depending on your situation. Many guides estimate total selling costs can often fall within a broad range (commonly quoted around 5%–15%), but it can be more or less depending on circumstances.
The exact numbers depend on whether you’re resident/non-resident, whether there’s a gain, the municipality’s plusvalia calculation, and whether you still have a mortgage.
Plusvalia municipal is a local tax linked to the increase in the land value component between purchase and sale (rules vary by town hall). In general, Spanish rules changed after court rulings so that municipalities cannot charge it if there’s no real increase in value (for example, if you sold at a loss), but you may need to evidence this.
Because this tax is local and situation-dependent, it’s best to clarify early so it doesn’t become a last-minute surprise.
Capital gains tax is typically based on the profit (sale price minus purchase price and allowable costs/improvements). What counts as an allowable cost depends on documentation, invoices, and your tax situation.
Rates and reporting differ for residents vs non-residents, so the best approach is to keep records of purchase costs, improvement invoices, and selling expenses from the start.
Often yes. Many owners sell remotely by preparing the paperwork early and arranging a smooth signing process. In some cases, you can also use a Power of Attorney (POA) so a trusted representative can sign on your behalf in Spain.
The key is planning: we’ll help you identify what’s missing (documents, certificates, mortgage status) and set a clear timeline, so the sale doesn’t stall when the buyer is ready.
The best price is based on recent comparable sales, current competition, and today’s buyer demand (not just what neighbours “hope” to achieve). Overpricing can reduce enquiries and lead to bigger price drops later.
A realistic valuation helps you set a price strategy: either a strong market price to sell efficiently, or a more ambitious price if the property is truly unique and demand supports it.
We review your details, assess the local market, and come back with a realistic guide price and clear next steps. If you decide to move forward, we’ll explain how we would present and market the property—and what paperwork to prepare.
No pressure: you can request a valuation simply to understand your position in the current market.
Usually, yes. Simple steps like decluttering, fresh paint, fixing small defects, and professional photos can increase perceived value and reduce negotiation pressure.
