Exclusive Selling Contracts

At Tabaira Real Estate, we believe that exclusive sales contracts are the best way to sell your property. We already provide top-tier Google exposure and promote your property on all major property platforms, ensuring maximum visibility to international buyers.

Our experience shows that listing with multiple agents can lead to duplicate advertisements on property platforms, diminishing the exclusive appeal of your property and potentially confusing prospective buyers.

Preparing your Property for Sale

We recommend preparing your property thoroughly before the photoshoot. Since most potential buyers shortlist properties online before scheduling a viewing, it's important to ensure your property stands out. The same principles apply to in-person viewings.

Tips for Showcasing Your Property

• Maintain a clean and tidy garden – first impressions matter!
• Declutter surfaces, especially in kitchens and bathrooms.
• Open blinds and curtains to let in as much natural light as possible.
• Clean your home and use fresh bedding.
• Address maintenance issues – freshly painted properties look more appealing.

Property Documents Required for Selling Property

Cédula de habitabilidad

A Cédula de Habitabilidad certifies that a property is fit for human habitation. It is mandatory for contracting utility services and for selling or renting a property. There are two types:

• Cédula de habitabilidad de primera ocupación – for newly built homes.
• Cédula de habitabilidad de segunda ocupación – for existing homes.

EPC (Energy Performance Certificate)

The EPC (Certificado de Eficiencia Energética, or CEE in Spanish) is a mandatory document created by a qualified technician. It assesses the energy efficiency of a property and is required for selling a home or obtaining a tourist rental license.

Properties receive an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), based on estimated annual energy consumption under normal occupancy.

Property Selling Taxes

Many vendors ask about the taxes due when selling a property in Spain. Below is an overview, though tax laws and rates may change. We recommend consulting a lawyer or tax specialist for accurate advice.

Plusvalía

This is a tax paid to local municipal of the property for the increase in the value of the land, a tax applied when a property is sold, gifted or inherited.

The tax is calculated from the properties catastral values to amount of time the property has been owned; the time elapsed from when the property was bought to when it was sold.

Capital Gains Tax

(impuestos sobre las ganancias de capital)

The difference between the purchase price and the sales price of a property. The tax currently varies between a range of 19% and 23% (23% applied for more than 50,000 gain). For non-residents in Spain (but resident in another EU country) then the tax is fixed at 19%. You can add to the value of the property the purchase tax or IVA where applicable and investments into the home, works which are deemed to add value to the property.

For non-residents, 3% of the sales price is retained in lieu of your capital gain at the notary by the purchasers and paid to the Spanish tax office on your behalf. It's then for you to justify to the tax office your capital gain or loss and pay relevant taxes due to the gain or file for the redemption of the 3% if you have made a loss.

Residents do not get retained the 3% but are liable to justify the transmission of property on their tax returns. Spanish law does exempt residents of over 65 years from capital gains tax if they have been using the property for their habitual residence for 4 years (signed onto the Padron for 4 years), for exceptions to the 4 years if you have not owned the property for so many years.
