FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Things to know when selling
When is the best time to sell a property?
When is the best time to sell a property?
If you can choose the point in time when to sell your property, we know that you will consider changes in inflation, interest rates, and buyer behaviour. Whatever the changes, we can achieve the best sale price for you, due to the existing demand for living space and the desire to own a home. Seen as a place of safe retreat and stable investment, real estate is still in high demand.
Particularly in the premium segment, real estate is seen as an anchor to provide stability, and used as an attractive instrument for long-term asset protection. Clients looking to buy are still ready to invest in real estate and willing to pay the appropriate price.

How can I determine the value of my property?
How can I determine the value of my property?
There are two ways to valuate property: online and on-site. At Engel & Völkers, both services are always free and non-binding.
For a first assessment, you can use the online valuation. The most important criteria are property type, living area, macro and micro-location, and the year of construction. Learn more here about the Engel & Völkers Online Valuation. Alternatively or additionally, you can also request an on-site valuation with our experts. Contact us online and we will shortly be in touch with a proposed date.
Good to know: Take advantage of both options, as the online valuation is not a substitute for an on-site valuation. If you are intent on selling your property, contact the Engel & Völkers experts to help achieve the optimal price for your house or apartment.

How long does it take to sell my property?
How long does it take to sell my property?
Selling a house or apartment privately takes on average one to six months. The more precisely the market price of your property is determined at the beginning of the marketing phase, the faster the whole selling process will be.
Good to know: If you want to sell your property quickly, you should not set the selling price too high. The more the selling price is raised above the property evaluation, the longer it will take to sell the property.

Do I have to pay taxes on the sales proceeds?
Do I have to pay taxes on the sales proceeds?
Yes you do, as a resident of Spain you will have to pay taxes if you sell for a higher price than you bought it, you will have to pay income tax on the capital gain (IRPF)
The income tax you will pay will depend on the resulting amount of the capital gain itself, and after deducting the associated costs in 2023:
If you are a non-resident in Spain, once the sale is formalized, the buyer or his representative withholds 3% of the final value of the transaction. From the date of the sale, the buyer has one month to withhold and pay this percentage. To do so, he will use Form 211. After paying the amount withheld, the buyer delivers a copy of Form 211 to the nonresident seller, so that they can deduct the amount withheld when declaring the gain obtained from the transfer. The seller calculates the capital gain and pays between 19% and 24%, depending on the country of residence.
Also, non-residents and residents in Spain shall pay Capital gains tax to the municipality where a property is located.
The income tax you will pay will depend on the resulting amount of the capital gain itself, and after deducting the associated costs in 2023:
- 19% income tax up to 6,000 euros
- 21% income tax between 6,000 and 50,000 euros
- 23% income tax between 50,000 and 200,000 euros
- 26% income tax on income over 200,000 euros

What are the differences between selling a house and selling an apartment?
What are the differences between selling a house and selling an apartment?
When selling an apartment, you will need to provide additional documents: Teilungserklärung (en. declaration of division), the protocols of the last home owners’ meeting, Wohngeldabrechnung (en. statement of service charges) and Wirtschaftsplan (en. budget for the following year). However, the valuation or marketing process for example will not differ.
Some home owner associations require the other homeowners to agree to the sale of the apartment. A sales agreement will only become valid once the written agreement from the other homeowners is completed. For serious reasons (such as to stop the purchase of the apartment by clearly undesirable buyers), this agreement can be refused. However, a positive majority decision is normally provided by the home owner association.

Can I sell my property with a tenant in residence?
Can I sell my property with a tenant in residence?
Absolutely - you can sell your house or apartment when you have an existing rental agreement with a tenant to live there, however, please keep in mind that buying a property does not end an existing tenancy. If you want to buy as an investment, a tenancy is not an issue for the time being. For buyers who seek to move into the property, a tenancy is a disadvantage, and sellers will have to expect a lower sales price. You should also check if the current tenant might have the right of first refusal.
How do I sell an inherited property?
How do I sell an inherited property?
If you are the heir, you are free to decide whether or not to sell. However, you will need an adjudication and acceptance of inheritance and register into the land registry. If there are additional heirs, they have to do the before said, and are also regarded as co-owners and you will need their agreement to sell.
Can I sell my property if it has not been paid off?
Can I sell my property if it has not been paid off?
Yes you can. In this case, you will have to pay off the mortgage with the sales proceeds. However, please keep in mind that prepayment penalties will be charged by most banks.
You can avoid this if you buy a new property around the time of the sale and then use this new property as a new asset for the new mortgage (property exchange), or if the buyer of your property takes on the mortgage as well (debitor exchange).
