Before a sale, it is important to have knowledge of the current market situation. Feel free to meet one of our experienced real estate brokers to find out updated information about the area where you live and what can increase the value of your home. The broker will give you advice on what increases the chance of a good deal.

For example, staging your property. This is the starting point for a successful sale! Once you have decided you want to sell your property it is important that everything is in order: NIE number and owners passport, copy of Nota Simple, the latest IBI receipt, electricity bill, water bill and community fee including the contact details to the community and energy declaration.

Step 1: Preparations

Initiating the sales process involves gathering essential information about your property. Every property possesses its unique characteristics, and by understanding these, we can establish the groundwork for a successful sale.

The documentation required includes:

Nota simple: A document confirming the legal status of the property.
Escritura: Title deeds. Water and electricity contracts or bills.
Basura: Payment receipt for refuse collection. Last IBI receipt: The annual local property tax.
CO fee: Membership in the housing association.
Energy certificate: As a seller, you must provide a declaration of the property’s energy performance.

Additionally, it’s crucial to assess the financial aspects. Determine the actual operating costs of the property you wish to sell, identify any anticipated future repairs and their associated costs, and review the purchase price and any renovations you’ve undertaken. Once you have all the necessary documents and information, one of our agents will assist you in determining the property’s market value and recommending an appropriate asking price.

Once the price is agreed upon, a listing agreement will be executed with the agent. This agreement outlines the terms of the sales assignment. Typically, it is “non-exclusive,” allowing you to engage other agents for the sale while obligating you to pay our commission if a customer introduced by us purchases your property. Alternatively, it can be an “exclusive” arrangement, designating us as the sole agent responsible for representing and selling your property.

Step 2: Photography & Marketing

Creating an impactful marketing campaign for your property begins with professional photography and video. We believe in leveraging our expertise to present your property in the best light possible. Prior to the photoshoot, we’ll provide you with valuable tips to enhance the presentation. Trust in our experience! We offer home staging and styling services to accentuate your property’s strengths. By incorporating elements like plants, textiles, and skillful furniture arrangement, we aim to showcase your property’s charm. Our seasoned photographer specialises in capturing inviting images, ensuring your property is irresistibly attractive.

Once the marketing materials are ready, we implement a strategic marketing plan to reach a broad audience of potential buyers. We maximise your chances of a successful sale by promoting your property on our Beluxe website, Additionally, we showcase your listing across our social media platforms, Your property will also be featured on world wide external platforms.

Step 3: Property Viewings

Making a favorable first impression during property viewings is paramount. Therefore, our agents come fully prepared, armed with comprehensive information and documentation about your property. A successful viewing hinges on the agent’s dedication, attentiveness, and unwavering focus on potential buyers. After each viewing, the agent promptly provides feedback to the seller. This feedback is invaluable for continuous improvement and any necessary adjustments to enhance the selling process.

Step 4: Making An Offer & Reservation

This is where the excitement builds, as offers begin to roll in, bringing you closer to selling your property. The agent’s duty is to convey all offers to the seller, regardless of their nature, and ultimately, it’s the seller who makes the final decision. Once a purchase price is agreed upon, a reservation fee ranging from 6,000 to 20,000 euros is paid to secure the property and remove it from the market.

Step 5: Purchase Contract

This is where the excitement builds, as offers begin to roll in, bringing you closer to selling your property. The agent’s duty is to convey all offers to the seller, regardless of their nature, and ultimately, it’s the seller who makes the final decision. Once a purchase price is agreed upon, a reservation fee ranging from 6,000 to 20,000 euros is paid to secure the property and remove it from the market.

Step 6: Pre-Move Checklist

The preparations for moving out can be extensive. At Beluxe we’ve built a reliable network of local suppliers and services to assist you. If you require any practical services or advice, don’t hesitate to reach out to us for assistance.

Step 7: Purchase Contract

On the day of completion, you or your legal representatives will convene at the notary’s office to finalise the remaining 90% of the property purchase. Following this completion, the keys are handed over to the new owner. Post-completion, you’ll meet with the buyer to transfer any remaining essential documents. At Beluxe we’ll guide you through the process of settling any outstanding payments or debts.

Step 8: After Selling Your Property

Following the successful sale of your property, you’ll need to declare it for tax purposes. You can calculate your taxable gain by subtracting all sales costs, renovation expenses, the initial purchase price, buying costs, and any property improvements from the property’s selling price. Keep in mind that if you haven’t made a profit, any losses incurred can be deducted from your taxable income.

    Holli provided us with first rate services for buying an apartment in Malaga, Spain. Not only does she possess an intimate knowledge of the area, her advice was thoughtful and timely. As Canadian buyers, Holli provided detailed information on how the the Spanish real estate system operates which is very different than home. I simply cannot imagine how we would have navigated our purchase without Hollli's input and advice. I highly recommend BeLuxe Properties to any real estate purchaser from Canada.

    Absolutely blown away by our experience in finding a holiday home with Ryan. He is truly amazing at his job, he works incredibly hard to make sure he finds the perfect properties to show you. His communication is incredible, he is always available to chat and to answer any questions. We were really unsure what exactly we wanted from our holiday home and within a few days Ryan had helped us narrow it down to just a couple of areas that were truly perfect for us, and helped us work out what our absolute “must haves” were and where we could make compromises! I love the personal touch he brings to the job and how patient and considerate he is in knowing how big a decision it is. He also recommended some amazing lawyers and other professionals to us along the way which is invaluable to us. I couldn’t recommend Ryan highly enough, we would never buy a holiday home on the Costa del Sol with anyone else and we would recommend him with complete confidence to anyone. Thank you so much Ryan!

    This is to express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Holli for not only her professional expertise, extreme knowledge, wise guidance and genuine care, but her constant effort and diligence in working with us to secure our new home. We traveled to Malaga from the States in March for a week of travel with Holli along the Costa Del Sol. I had established a start to working with Holli via email months prior. From the moment of introduction I felt a sense of connection, confidence and knew we were in good hands. Holli began collecting information on exactly our interests, type of home we were interested in, lifestyle and budget. She assisted us with setting our travel itinerary, making wonderful recommendations for lodging and had our entire week carefully and thoughtfully laid out. For five consecutive days we looked at properties thoughtfully curated to our needs and wants. On the last day, we knew we walked into our beautiful apartment in the charming old town of Estepona. Holli’s work did not stop there. She aligned us with all of the like minded and skilled colleagues she works with to continue to assist us in the transaction. A Spanish Lawyer to a Currency Exchange Broker, both of which have made this absolutely effortless for us and have given us a total peace of mind. It is quite rare in todays world to find someone who gives it their all, not only in their work professionally, but also personally. I would refer Holli to anyone thinking about or looking to make this step. It has truly been an amazing and wonderful, stress free and fun experience. We look so forward to our new life in Estepona and in addition to having a dear new friend in Holli. Warmly, Lisa and Greg

    Outstanding service I first met Ryan at a house we were viewing, where he was the seller’s agent. Before we had time to make a decision, he had already sold the place. But we thought he seemed like a great agent, so we asked him to be our buyer’s agent instead – and that turned out to be an understatement. He’s not just a good agent – he’s an excellent one. For over a year, Ryan has been helping us find the perfect home – and it wasn’t an easy task, since we had a long list of specific requirements and a limited budget. But Ryan never gave up, and we’ve just bought our dream house in Marbella – the one he found for us. Throughout the process, Ryan has again and again gone the extra mile for us. He’s been incredibly helpful, always quick to answer our many questions, keeping us updated and in the loop, and offering recommendations for everything from mortgage advisors and lawyers to contractors and car dealers – all of which made us feel safe during such a big investment in a market we didn’t know that well. On top of being helpful and professional, Ryan is also simply a pleasure to be around – which makes all the house viewings a much nicer experience. I can honestly give my highest recommendation to Ryan and the whole team at Belux Properties.
