Sell Your Spanish Property

Sell Your Spanish Property

Selling property in Spain can be a straightforward and rewarding experience when you have the right support. At CasaEspanha, we’re here to help you navigate the entire process, from preparing your property for sale to closing the deal. Our team of experts will guide you through each step, ensuring that everything goes smoothly and efficiently.

 

The Selling Process

Selling a property in Spain involves several steps and important legal considerations. It’s essential to understand the process and the associated costs to ensure a successful sale.

  • Property Valuation: The first step in selling your property is to determine its market value. Our team can assist you with a professional property valuation, ensuring it is priced correctly based on current market conditions.
  • Preparing the Property: To maximize your property’s appeal, it’s important to ensure that it’s in good condition. This may involve some repairs, cleaning, or staging. We can advise you on how best to present your property to attract potential buyers.
  • Mediation Contract (Contrato de Mediación)
    Before we begin marketing your property, we will sign a mediation contract (Contrato de Mediación), outlining our agreed services and commission. This contract establishes our role as the official mediator between you and potential buyers, ensuring transparency and legal protection throughout the sale.

 

Marketing Your Property

Once your property is ready, our team will ensure it gets maximum exposure. We list it on major property portals, reaching a wide audience on high-traffic real estate websites. We also leverage social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn with targeted ads and virtual tours to engage potential buyers.

Additionally, we tap into our network of buyers and investors, personally reaching out to those who may be a perfect fit. We organize exclusive open houses and private showings for qualified buyers, ensuring your property stands out.

Our comprehensive marketing strategy guarantees that your property gets the attention it deserves, reaching the right buyers and ensuring a timely sale at the best possible price. Whether through strategic online advertising, social media engagement, or personalized outreach, we work tirelessly to give your property maximum exposure and drive results.

 

Negotiation & Offer Acceptance

Once offers start coming in, we will assist you with negotiations. It’s important to carefully consider any offers and respond in a timely manner. Our experts will help you handle the negotiation process, ensuring you get the best possible deal.

  • Private Contract of Sale: When you accept an offer, a private contract of sale (contrato privado de compraventa) is signed between the buyer and seller. This contract outlines the agreed terms and conditions and includes the payment of a deposit (usually 10% of the purchase price).
  • Finalising the Sale: Once all legal and financial matters have been cleared, the final deed of sale (escritura de compraventa) will be signed before a notary. The final payment is made by the buyer, and the property is officially transferred to their name.

 

Property Selling Costs

In addition to the sales price, there are various costs associated with selling property in Spain. These costs can vary depending on the region and specific circumstances. Common costs include:

  • Capital Gains Tax (Impuesto sobre la Renta de no Residentes):
    If you sell the property for a profit, you may be subject to Capital Gains Tax. The rate varies depending on the length of time you have owned the property and your tax status in Spain.

  • Notary Fees:
    As the seller, you may be required to pay notary fees for the signing of the escritura de compraventa. These fees can vary based on the property value and typically range from €600 to €1,000.

  • Property Taxes:
    You will need to settle any outstanding property taxes (such as the IBI, or Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles) before the sale is completed. These taxes are typically paid annually.

  • Legal Fees:
    Hiring a lawyer to handle the sale is highly recommended. Legal fees generally range from 1% to 2% of the sale price. A lawyer will ensure the transaction complies with all legal requirements and help avoid potential issues.

  • Mortgage Redemption Fees
    If there is an outstanding mortgage on the property, you may need to pay early redemption fees to settle it before completing the sale. This will be clarified with your bank.

 

Understanding Additional Costs

When selling a property in Spain, it’s important to budget for additional costs beyond the sale price. These may include administrative fees, utility cancellations or updates, community fees, and any outstanding obligations related to the property.

With the right support, selling your property can be a smooth and successful experience. At CasaEspanha, we guide you through every step, ensuring you achieve the best possible outcome.
