How to Sell Your Costa del Sol Property Successfully
Presentation Matters
First impressions matter, especially when it comes to selling your property. The way your home is presented can significantly influence how quickly it sells and the price it achieves. Here are a few simple and cost-effective ways to enhance its appeal:
- Keep the property tidy, clean and free of clutter for every viewing
- Touch up paint where needed to freshen up the space
- Clean the windows and open blinds or curtains to maximise natural light
- Let in fresh air before viewings to keep the space feeling open and pleasant
- Tackle any small repairs that may have been delayed
- Maintain a neat garden and ensure the pool is clean and inviting
These small steps can make a big difference in how buyers perceive your home.
Financial Considerations When Selling in Spain
Selling a property in Spain involves a few costs that vary by location. To avoid surprises, it’s always best to consult a local lawyer. Key considerations include:
- Agency Fees: Understand your real estate agent’s commission and any additional charges
- Legal Fees: Hiring a property lawyer and confirming their fee structure in advance is highly recommended
- Taxes: Be aware of taxes such as Capital Gains Tax and PlusvalÃa. Your lawyer can guide you through what applies in your case
