Thinking of selling?

Selling your property

An honest valuation, international buyers, and a team that lives where you're selling

Selling a home in another country should not be complicated. We have spent more than twenty years guiding owners between Sotogrande and Fuengirola through it, from an honest valuation to the signing at the notary.

Why sell with The Spanish Estate Agent

An honest valuation

We will tell you what your property is worth, not what you would like to hear. A realistic price sells; an optimistic one sits on the market for months and ends up reduced anyway.

International buyers

Our buyers come from across northern Europe, the United States and the Middle East. We list in two languages and on the portals they actually search.

A local team

We live here. We know the urbanisations, the streets and what has genuinely sold near you this year, because we sold a good deal of it.

Presented properly

Professional photography, floor plan, video and a virtual tour where it earns its keep. Your home competes with flawless new build, so it has to look the part.

How it works

  1. 1

    Valuation

    We visit, compare your home with what has actually sold nearby, and give you a price range with the reasoning behind it.

  2. 2

    Preparation

    We gather the paperwork — nota simple, licence of occupation, energy certificate — and arrange the photography.

  3. 3

    Going to market

    Your property goes live in English and Spanish, on the portals, and straight to our registered buyers.

  4. 4

    Viewings and offers

    We filter out the tyre-kickers, accompany every viewing, and bring you offers with our recommendation.

  5. 5

    Notary and handover

    We coordinate with your lawyer, the gestoría and the notary through to the handover of keys.

What to know before you sell

Energy certificate
Legally required before the property can be advertised. If you do not have one, we will arrange it.
The 3% retention
If you are not a Spanish tax resident, the buyer withholds 3% of the price against your tax liability. It is reclaimed through the relevant return.
Plusvalía municipal
A local tax paid by the seller, based on the town hall and how long you have owned the property. Worth calculating before you set a price.
Our fee
Agreed in writing before we start, and only payable when the sale completes. No surprises.
