How to sell a house effectively?

The first step to make a sale effectively is to carry out a real estate valuation of the property that is intended to be sold.

As the owner, you can make an estimate of the budget that you consider appropriate for the sale of your home. In Dream Sun Spain We recommend you go to a professional in the field to advise you correctly.

It is convenient to know that the value assigned to the home will not necessarily be the sale value. In other words, if a home is valued at €150.000, but it is considered that it is possible to get more (or less) for it, it can be done.

Next, you have the option of endorsing yourself in a real estate agency, in Dream Sun Spain We advise you to work with a real estate agent who gives you confidence and is willing to want to help you. A good real estate agent will mediate between buyer and seller, ensuring that the price of the property is fair for both parties. In addition, he will inform you correctly of all the legal aspects and will help you with the procedures of the dreaded "paperwork", until you reach the signature with the notary. This will save you headaches, last minute surprises, and time.

As we have said before, the paperwork is the most stressful part of a sale. The necessary documentation varies depending on the phase in which we find ourselves.

In the first place and before putting the property up for sale, the document that you will need as a seller is a simple note from the property registry. Which shows who is the owner and the characteristics of said property.

Once put up for sale and during its promotion, you will need to have the Energy Efficiency Certificate, which includes the energy characteristics of the building's facilities and their rating. In the case of Dream Sun Spain, we have qualified personnel to carry out this analysis.

The third step is to request the certificate of occupancy, which certifies that the property to be sold is habitable. It should be noted that this is not mandatory in all the Autonomous Communities of Spain, but in the case of the Valencian Community, it is.

Something very important and that you should not forget as a seller is the receipt of the payment of the Real Estate Tax (IBI), whose function is to certify that the dwelling is up to date with the payment of this tax.

In the event that the property in question is located in a building that is more than 30 years old, you must obtain the Building Technical Inspection Certificate (ITE).

Almost at the end, when an interested buyer is found, a deposit contract will be made, in which all the conditions of the sale will be reflected, which in turn serves as a guarantee for both parties.
