Here you will find the ultimate key to selling your property in Spain

The Spanish real estate market is one of the most profitable ones for foreign investors.

But one has to know how to sell.

You know very well that in order for some to buy, others have to wish to sell.

What is your reason for wanting to sell?

The reasons can be many.

Perhaps you have decided to change your residence, invest in a new home for construction, or have received an inheritance property and want to sell it.

It’s the law of offer and demand.

Although ideally the operation will be profitable for you, not all sales are made with full legal and economic guarantees.

This is very important.

We understand that your priority is to make a profit. But did you know that a poorly managed sale could result in huge financial loss for you?

Putting your residence on sale in a real estate portal seems like a good idea, but does not always mean success is guaranteed.

Some owners in Spain decide to entrust the sale of their house to a real estate agent with the misconception that the agent will take care of all the legal and fiscal management of the operation.

If the real estate agency does its  job with excellence it will find a buyer for you in the most efficient way. However, once you find your ideal buyer the real estate transaction has only just begun.

When you have a potential buyer, the legal process begins in order for the sale to be carried out with all legal and economic guarantees for you.

Therefore, the key to ensuring that the sale is legally and economically secure is to have a law firm with experts in real estate investments.

Something very important is that your property meets the legal conditions for its sale, and as the legislation is continuously changing, you may need to adapt the legality of your property to the current moment. This is what the buyer will demand and you should be prepared.

This is what’s most important for your buyer to decide to actually purchase your property.

We have already talked about the importance of making a sale with legal and economic guarantees.

We have underlined that the benefit and economic profitability of the operation are primordial for the seller, but as said, the buyer must also be willing to purchase.

Have you thought about what makes a buyer want to purchase?

We assume that your property has a magnificent location on the Spanish Costa Blanca. It is difficult for a buyer to resist buying in such an idyllic setting as the Spanish coast.

But the buyer must feel that they can trust the person who is selling to them, and that the property has all the legal documents in order, in short, that it meets all the legal requirements legally enforceable at the time of sale.

The trust between buyer and seller will be a relevant factor for the success of the operation, and that trust is granted by the lawyers of both parties, who take care of their clients and know how to negotiate so that the transaction is carried out successfully.

Put yourself in the shoes of the buyer and their legal representatives.

Surely you have many doubts about the property you want to buy: will this land be developable? Is the property free of encumbrances? Is this car and its land affected by any urban plan? Will I be able to build, or reform or expand?

Now imagine being the seller and having a lawyer to manage the sale efficiently. Do you feel confidence delegating to your lawyer?

This is what will happen if you entrust us with the management of the sale:

● Your lawyer will provide the buyer with all the documentation previously checked with the Cadastre, the Land Registry and the Town Hall where the property is located.

● Your lawyer will draw up all the necessary contracts related to the Real Estate and will be coordinated with the Real Estate Agency.

● Your lawyer will prepare the signature at the notary’s office.

● Your lawyer will agree and work with the buyer’s attorney to give the transaction the confidence it needs.

● Even if you wish, you do not have to travel to Spain because your lawyer will be there to represent you throughout the operation so that you receive the price immediately, your taxes are paid on your behalf, and all the necessary administrative procedures are carried out.

We are convinced that this way of proceeding generates seriousness, trust and transparency in the eyes of the buyer.

This will reassure a buyer who is already in love with your magnificent home.

Therefore, once more the key to selling your property in Spain is to have a lawyer with experience in real estate investments.
