Whether it is because we are forced to move house or simply because we want more cash flow, there are a number of factors that every seller must take into account before putting their property up for sale.

Whether it is because we are forced to move house or simply because we want more cash flow, there are a number of factors that every seller must take into account before putting their property up for sale.

How much is my property worth?

Putting a price on a property is more complicated than it seems, since the property value depends on objective criteria such as the state of the property, the exterior, the orientation, the height, etc., as well as the location and of course the supply and demand in the area. It is therefore advisable to consult a professional that knows the market, who can give us a much more accurate idea of the value of our property.

How much does it cost to sell my property?

It is important to keep in mind that in addition to the profit, the sale of the property will include some expenses of sale, among which the associated taxes will have to be included, such as the IBI, the IRPF and the municipal capital gain.

How long does it take to sell a property?

It is estimated that the sale of a property can be done in a minimum of three months but this is always dependent on the location, the condition of the property, and of course the supply and demand of the real estate market at that time.

Do I have to prepare my property for sale?

The appearance of a property has a direct influence on the chances of being able to sell it, which is why it is always advisable to prepare it for sale, since this way you can also increase the price.

Should I sell my property through a real estate agency?

The real estate market is complex and the sale process includes numerous administrative procedures and formalities that can be carried out more easily with the help of a professional. In addition to this, going through a real estate agency means we will be accompanied throughout the process, and have someone on standby to resolve any questions that may come up.
