Preparing all the necessary documentation to sell your home on the Costa Blanca—or anywhere else in Spain—can be quite a challenge, especially when you’re selling to buy a new property or make a real estate investment.
That’s why we recommend a series of steps to make selling your home on the Costa Blanca as smooth as possible.
Get Your Home’s Paperwork in Order Before Listing It for Sale
Selling a property in Spain involves several bureaucratic requirements, but don’t worry—we’ll guide you through the documentation you need to sell your home on the Costa Blanca:
- The property deed (title deed or purchase agreement)
- A simple note from the Land Registry (Nota Simple)
- The most recent property tax receipts (IBI)
- Energy performance certificate
- Certificate of occupancy (Cédula de habitabilidad)
- Homeowners’ association documentation, including community information, payment history, and a certificate showing no outstanding debts
- Utility bills (water, electricity, gas)
If you are a non-resident seller in Spain, you will also need a copy of your NIE (Foreigner Identification Number) to proceed with the transaction.
Choose How to Sell Your Property
One of the key decisions when selling your home is choosing how to do it: you can either sell it yourself or work with a team of real estate professionals who will guide you through and manage the process.
Tips for Selling Your Home on Your Own
If you decide to sell your home on your own, the most important thing is to present it professionally and promote it to people who might be interested.
We recommend taking high-quality photos, writing a professional description that highlights the home’s strengths, and focusing on attracting as many potential buyers as possible.
You should also research all the legal and administrative steps you’ll need to complete the sale.
Trust a Real Estate Professional to Sell Your Home
Working with a professional real estate agency is the most effective way to sell your property quickly and efficiently. An experienced agent will handle everything from professional photography and descriptions to advertising your property on their website and the top real estate portals.
Unlike selling on your own, a professional agent brings deep market knowledge, negotiation skills, and access to marketing tools that can speed up the sale process.
