Selling Guide
How to Sell Your Property in Spain – Step-by-Step Guide
If you are thinking about selling your property in Spain, understanding the process will help you achieve a faster sale and the best possible price.
At Villaquest, we specialise in selling property in Murcia and Costa Cálida, helping homeowners in areas such as Camposol, Mazarrón, and Mazarrón Country Club successfully market and sell their homes.
📍 Step 1: Get an Accurate Property Valuation
The first step is to understand the true market value of your property.
A professional valuation considers:
- Recent local sales in your area
- Property condition and size
- Location and amenities
- Market demand in Murcia and Costa Cálida
Overpricing can significantly slow down your sale, while realistic pricing attracts serious buyers quickly.
🧾 Step 2: Prepare Legal Documentation
Before listing your property, you should ensure all documents are in order, including:
- Title deeds (Escritura)
- Latest utility bills
- IBI (council tax) receipt
- Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
- Community fee statements (if applicable)
Having everything ready speeds up the selling process and avoids delays later.
🏡 Step 3: Present Your Property for Sale
First impressions are extremely important when selling property in Spain.
Simple improvements can make a big difference:
- Declutter and depersonalise spaces
- Fresh paint and minor repairs
- Clean outdoor areas and terraces
- Highlight key features like pools, solariums, or views
Well-presented homes often sell faster and achieve higher prices.
📸 Step 4: Professional Marketing
To reach international buyers, your property must be marketed effectively.
At Villaquest, we promote properties through:
- Major Spanish property portals
- International buyer networks
- Social media marketing
- Local and expat channels
High-quality photography and accurate descriptions are essential to attract interest.
💰 Step 5: Receiving Offers
Once your property is marketed, you may receive offers from buyers.
We help you:
- Assess each offer
- Negotiate on your behalf
- Secure the best possible price
- Manage communication with buyers
✍️ Step 6: Reservation & Contracts
When an offer is accepted:
- A reservation agreement is signed
- A deposit is paid by the buyer
- The property is taken off the market
A private purchase contract (Contrato de Arras) follows, usually with a 10% deposit.
⚖️ Step 7: Legal Completion
Your lawyer will:
- Confirm legal ownership
- Ensure all debts are cleared
- Prepare final documents for the notary
Completion takes place at the notary, where ownership is officially transferred.
💶 Costs of Selling Property in Spain
Typical selling costs may include:
- Plusvalía tax (local capital gains tax)
- Real estate agent fees
- Legal fees
- Mortgage cancellation fees (if applicable)
We always recommend getting clear advice before listing your property.
