However much you have invested in a new air conditioning system or new kitchen cupboards,
the price of your 3 bedroom villa is still closely linked to the price of other 3 bedroom
villas in your area.
As a guide, we use Comparable Market Analysis to compare the list price and final selling
price of similar properties. Comparisons in terms of age, size and number of rooms are
your guide to the market price for your home. The similar properties that have been sold
can be walked by to compare size and condition to your own. You can then set your price
higher or lower based on your observations.
Selling property on the
Costa Blanca: Other considerations:
- Time of Year: Viewings take place all
year with less visits in December and January.
- Selling and Renting your home: It is
very difficult to sell a property that is occupied by long term or holiday renters. Most
rental agencies do not accept viewings, and should it be possible, it is very likely that
you property will not be seen at it's best. It's far better to commit to one or the other,
but not both.
- The Net Selling Price: The buyer will
pay the purchase costs such as I.T.P. tax and notary fees, but the "Net Selling
Price" will still leave the seller to pay Plus Valia. This is usually a small amount
payable to the town hall, but it is still better to know how much it is. We provide you
with a local authority certificate that confirms the amount prior to the sale. Personal
tax considerations will vary from person to person, but a non-resident seller needs to
account for a 5% retention of the declared (escritura) selling price as a retention
against the payment of taxes.
- Best Features: We will look for the
best features of your home, but it is useful to draw up you own list so that nothing is
missed.
- Costa Blanca properties that won't
sell. It is especially important here to pay attention to the presentation points and
promote a "homely" feeling. If the neighbours are the problem then it will
eventually be necessary to talk with them and get them on board with your project.
If even this doesn't work, then it will be necessary to take the emotionally difficult
step and reduce the price.
