Selling FAQ
What owners ask us before instructing an agent on Ibiza.
Frequently Asked Questions
Request a valuation. We base it on actual comparable transactions rather than asking prices, and we show you the evidence: including when it is lower than you hoped.
Because an inflated valuation wins an instruction rather than sells a house. Ask any agent quoting a higher number to show you the comparable sales behind it.
Yes, and there is no obligation to instruct us.
You can, and it usually costs you. A property that sits becomes stale, and buyers read the price history. The first six weeks are the ones that matter.
Rarely. Decluttering, garden work and professional photography reliably return more than they cost. Major renovation usually does not. We will tell you which applies to your property.
We do. It is part of our service, not an extra.
Yes. We approach matched buyers from our register directly, with no public listing, sign or advertising.
You can. On Ibiza it rarely helps: the same house at three prices across five portals signals a seller who is not in control.
Yes. They handle title, charges, the tax position and completion. They work for you independently.
Correctly priced, typically three to nine months to an accepted offer, then eight to twelve weeks to the notary.
The Arras deposit contract is signed, usually at 10%. If the buyer then withdraws, that deposit is generally yours.
Very common: undeclared extensions and pools especially. Better to find out now than two weeks before the Notary. We will tell you what needs fixing before we market.
Capital gains tax on the profit, plus plusvalía municipal to the town hall. Rates depend on your residency.
If you are non-resident, the buyer withholds 3% of the price and pays it to the tax authority against your capital gains liability. You reclaim any excess afterwards.
Explained clearly in writing before you instruct us. No surprises at completion: that is the whole point.
Costs are usually split by legal default, though it is negotiable. Your lawyer will confirm the position for your sale.
