What should you consider when selling your home?

Based on our experience of hundreds of annual sales in Fuerteventura, this is the checklist to work through when planning a property sale in Fuerteventura:

  1. Advance preparation
  2. Mandatory Documentation
    • Necessary documents: Deed, nota simple, energy certificate, etc.
  3. Professional valuation of your home
    • Do not overvalue your property. Calculate its real market price to set a starting price according to the real estate reality.
  4. Professional photography and home staging
    • The image matters, both in the online ads and in the visit to the house. Count on a professional for the photographic report, the video, the virtual visit, the aerial photography,…
  5. Publication in international portals
    • Have an active presence in the most consulted portals: Idealista, Fotocasa, Kyero, Green Acres, etc.
  6. Visitor management
    • Take into account the presentation tips and organize the visits with your consultant.
  7. Negotiation and signing of the earnest money contract
    • The conditions are agreed between the parties and are reflected in an agreement prior to the purchase contract; a reserve of 1-5% of the value of the property is usually provided as a reserve.
  8. Signing at notary’s office and cancellation of mortgage if applicable
    • When presenting the documentation for the signing of the deeds, the cancellation of the mortgage is added.
  9. Calculation of taxes and municipal capital gains
    • Ask your advisor to calculate the amount of the different taxes involved in the sale of your home, analyzing the tax impact of the current year and the following year.
  10. Full legal and fiscal support
