Selling a property can be a complex and stressful process. However, by following some basic tips, you can increase your chances of selling your property quickly and at the best possible price.
Here are some tips when selling a property:
- Define the selling price:
- Carry out an appraisal of the property to determine its real value.
- Compare prices of similar properties in the area.
- Take into account the costs of the sale, such as real estate commission, taxes and notary fees.
- Prepare the property for sale:
- Carry out the necessary renovations and repairs to keep the property in good condition.
- Clean and tidy the property so that it is attractive to potential buyers.
- Decorate the property in a neutral way so that potential buyers can imagine themselves living in it.
- Gather the necessary documentation to be able to carry out the sale:
-
- Title Deed: This is the legal document that proves that you are the rightful owner of the property you are selling. It must be duly registered in the Land Registry.
- Registral Note : This is a document that confirms the current legal status of the property, including whether there are any outstanding charges or mortgages on it.
- Cadastral file: This provides detailed information on the location, dimensions and characteristics of the property according to the official cadastral records.
- Certificate of Habitability: In some countries, this document is mandatory and certifies that the property meets the necessary standards of habitability for occupancy.
- Energy Certificate: This indicates the energy efficiency of the property and is required in many places for the sale or rental of properties.
- Utility bills: It is important to have up to date utility bills such as water, electricity, gas, etc., to show that payments are up to date.
- Proof of Tax Payments: This includes documents proving that you have paid the relevant property taxes, such as Property Tax and Rubbish Tax.
- Community Certificate: This certificate confirms that you are up to date with the payments of the community of owners, and is essential for transferring any property that forms part of a community of owners.
- Promote your property
- Seek help from experts in the sector to achieve a greater reach, speed up the sale and get the best price.
- Advertise the property on real estate portals and social networks.
- Conduct visits with potential buyers.
- Answer potential buyers’ questions honestly and transparently.
- Negotiate the sale price:
Take into account the market price of the property and the needs of the buyer. Be flexible and willing to negotiate to reach an agreement with the buyer.
- Sign the contract of sale:
Before signing the contract, make sure you understand all the terms and conditions. If in doubt, consult a lawyer or legal advisor.
- Execute the public deed:
The public deed is the official document that certifies the sale of the property. It is signed before a notary and is obligatory for the sale to be valid.
- Cancel the mortgage:
If the property has a mortgage, it must be cancelled before the title deed is executed.
- Handing over the property to the buyer:
The property is handed over to the buyer in good condition and with all the keys.
