We know that selling a property is an important decision. There is no substitute to meeting personally the professional you decide to appoint for the sale of your property to discuss all the terms and details involved, in order to achieve a result you are satisfied with. We have, however, prepared for your reference a brief guide with important items to consider when putting a property on the market for sale.. <up>

• Obtain a realistic valuation of your property in accordance with the values that the market can afford, and with the specifications as to qualities, location and facilities. A very high valuation is encouraging for most owners, but could work against you at the end of the day.
   
• Give to the professional you appoint to take care of the sale, from the first day all the information related to the property and discuss with him any problem that needs to be solved before putting it on the market.
   
• Check with your lawyer or tax advisor, all the expenses and taxes involved in your sale so that they can be foreseen in your asking price. A deal can fail to be completed at the final stage, for not analysing these things in advance.
   
• Allow an easy access to the property, the easiest the access the greater the chances to sell it.
   
• Prepare the property to make the best impression possible.
   
• Keep your agent informed on any modification regarding the selling terms of the property.. <up>

A good valuation does not consist in an average value per square meter of construction and land, these other items should also be considered:

• Market situation
• Location of the property
• Age of construction
• Community facilities
• Proximity to amenities
• Construction qualities and specifications
• Value of similar products both in the resale market and on new developments
• Depreciation factors
• Last prices obtained in the sale of units in the same complex or urbanization. <up>

When selling a property you would have to take into account the expenses involved in your sale:

• Municipal Plus Valia Tax, levied on the increase in the value of urban Land.
   
• Although it is normal practice that the Notary and Registry expenses are paid by the purchaser, according to Law, the part of the expenses corresponding to the original title of the property should be on account of the vendor.
   
• All non-resident owners will be subject at the time of signature, to a tax retention of 3% of the selling price, on account of the Capital Gains Tax.
   
• Capital Gains Tax: As from the 1st of January 2007, the flat rate on their profit from the sale of the property has been reduced from 35% to 18%
   
• Any expenses for the cancellation on a mortgage, loan, or any other pending payment concerning the property.
